Tips on Effective Brand Performance
Here are Kate’s tips on effective brand performance in social media.
Aim for one action out of a consumer. For GoPro, social media is an awesome opportunity to educate their users using POV clips and UGCs. They have proven these video contents to perform really well.
Don’t be afraid to experiment. Social media can be daunting but GoPro is not afraid to learn what the community wants through A/B testing. They share what is authentic and natural. Content doesn’t need to be perfect or polished because you can delete them anytime you want.
Use Facebook Shops. Kate mentions that their best performing content is not always those that sell more gears. So, they focus on finding the sweet spot between these two types of content:
- Entertainment content that brings pure awareness, fun, and joy
- Content that drives sales, education, and is product-centric
Most of these kinds of stuff are on short-form video loops which they partnered with a promo. GoPro slings their cameras with Facebook Shops. These ads net out at a pretty good performance level.
