WE BELIEVE IT'S

NOT WHETHER YOU

DO SOCIAL MEDIA

IT'S HOW YOU DO IT

At HEILBrice we believe that social media is not about technology.

It is about emotion and engagement. Platforms will continue to change and evolve at lightning speed. The basic human need to connect and engage with something we love will remain constant. We use strategic business insight to create content that can turn followers into engagers and engagers into brand advocates.

The strategic insight behind our campaign was that our lives are best remembered in stories—where we go, what we do and who we’re with. If there’s any destination where absolutely anything can happen, where the best stories can be created, that place is Los Angeles. So we invited visitors to imagine what sorts of magical moments their trip to LA might create.

The campaign included traditional TV, out of home as well as digital display and video. Creative landings were developed to speak directly to multiple visitors: couples, families with kids, athletic-types, arts and culture oriented, fashionistas. We wanted to reflect that in social media as well.

To say it was a success might be underselling it. Here’s how the Travel Trade covered it: “How LA Tourism Won Instagram”

SOCIAL MEDIA IS CONVERSATION

THAT LEADS TO COMMUNITY

AND COMMUNITY IS WHAT WE CREATE

Our campaign came to life in social media, especially Instagram. Engaging with 15 travel and LA influencers, our campaign hashtag has become a transcendent way to express what Los Angeles is all about.

We often tell people, “If you really want to see what LA is all about; from amazing lush and beautiful to crazy and irreverent, all you have to do is scroll through the Instagram hashtag #LAstory on Instagram

We are especially proud of the fact that we have created an authentic LA experience. It is not ”commercial” in any way; the content quality is held high by the users who create it, not by an unseen brand trying to control it.

Marie Callender’s is an iconic Southern California restaurant chain of over 60 company and franchise owned locations. After an intensive brand audit, we developed a new and relevant brand positioning for Marie Callender’s that helped them take credit for their “authentic” story. The new brand positioning highlighted what made Marie Callender’s unique and what differentiated them from their competition. Home Cooked Happiness became the inspiration behind all traditional and social media.

TIME FOR SOME

REALLY TASTY POSTING

Social media was the perfect place to tell the Marie Callender’s “authentic” story with beautiful images of their home-style, comfort food and deliciously famous pies. We also encouraged and supported user generated content, as posts from guests generally have high engagement and lead to growth in followers.

MORE LOVE. MORE LIKES.

Over the past five years, we continued to successfully increase Marie Callender’s social media presence. We provided daily content and engagement for all social platforms, created quarterly social media contests and generated monthly reports to track growth, popularity and engagement.

THE POWER OF

THE INFLUENCER

To increase awareness and engagement we collaborated with 15 Instagram Influencers in the “Foodie” space to help promote various Pie Sales throughout the year. Influencers have a combined 850,739 followers. We did this with no advertising costs through creating mutually beneficial agreement to gain impressions and followers.
