Case study No. 1
Kirsten Proffit - Singer/Songwriter
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Increase exposure and engagement on several social media platforms while increasing fan base and
followers.
OBJECTIVES
Dramatically increase fans and followers, specifically on Facebook and Twitter.
Increase organic SEO.
Engage fans.
Increase ranking on ReverbNation.
CHALLENGES
Train and manage client to consistently engage with her fans and followers.
Have client embrace social media as an extension of her art.
Dramatically increasing her fan base while maintaining quality and minimal budget.
Get fans to share content.
APPROACH
First we did a social media audit to see where she was. After the audit, we made the necessary
adjustments and changes to enhance her current Facebook and Twitter pages. This included design,
content, timing of content, custom pages, photos and so forth.
To increase her fan base on Facebook, we created over fifty ads targeting specific areas, time zones and
demographics all over the world. We tested different ads in different areas to see which pulled better and
had the least CPC. These ads drove people to her Facebook fan page where they landed on her
ReverbNation tab. This gave people a quick summary of her, her music, upcoming events, videos, photos,
opt in and content sharing.
Next, we used third party software to increase her followers on Twitter. Using specific keywords, we
identified a quality target list that would help us reach our goals. We also set up three different direct
messages for new followers that had a call to action. We added relevant pictures, videos and music to give
her Twitter profile a richer user experience.
To help increase organic SEO, we set up a Flickr account, streamlined YouTube and ReverbNation.
We spent several weeks creating a content calendar and training client so she could feel comfortable
seamlessly interacting with her fans.

Case study No. 2
The Original Pizza Cookery – Social Media and Mobile Management
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Leverage the power of social media, online marketing and mobile to create more conversation and a more
powerful online presence for The Original Pizza Cookery, a local restaurant in Los Angeles.
OBJECTIVES
Gain new business, increase consumer interest and build customer loyalty.
Get the word out about their extensive gluten-free and vegan menu items and generate conversations in
those blogs and forums.
CHALLENGES
Make social media, online marketing and mobile more accessible and understandable entities for a
traditionally brick-and-mortar business.
Comfortably transition the client and their brand into the realm of social media, online marketing and
mobile.
APPROACH
We first familiarized the client with social media, providing a general overview of what it is and how it can
impact their business. We then outlined its various tools, and explained its emergence and presence as a
powerful promotional vehicle for building business and customer loyalty.
Based on their needs, we recommended they launch into social media via its two most prominent sites:
Facebook and Twitter. We also suggested we manage their brand on consumer review sites, like Yelp.
Next, we worked hand-in-hand with them to determine how to communicate their brand's personality to the
online and mobile community. We emphasized the importance of creating genuine, conversational and
engaging content. We asked them what they wanted to tell their customers about their business, about
their menu, about themselves. Once we answered questions like these, we were able to build a strategy
that made their brand both personable and inviting.
Next, we started building their pages. This included customized pages such as “fan of the month”, mobile
deals and welcome page. After building and launching their pages, we began identifying and pursuing
potential fans on Facebook and followers Twitter who would be interested in their product. We also
leveraged Facebook’s behavioral targeting ad tool, and increased their fan base by developing five
different ads that effectively reached five different audiences.
Recognizing that mobile is now a powerful tool, we incorporated it into their strategy to increase customer
loyalty, sales and data capture. The first thing we did was reward people who “checked in” on Facebook

and Foursquare by offering them an exclusive deal.
The next step we took was a formal texting campaign where people texted pizzacookery to (an easily
recognizable short code) 90210 for mobile coupons, specials and announcements. This helped them gain
a large database of opt-ins so we could easily market back to them at anytime.
Lastly, we provided content across the web on other sites such as YouTube, Google and more to increase
organic SEO.
RESULTS
Visibility instantly increased: customers mentioned—and responded positively to—seeing the Original
Pizza Cookery on social media and mobile platforms. The Original Pizza Cookery continually grows their
fans and followers at a rapid pace, many who are new customers.
Through our efforts to manage their brand reputation on Yelp, business and customer loyalty increased
dramatically. We successfully turned many poor reviews into positive reviews because of our strategic
approach.
Case study No. 3
Maria’s Italian Kitchen – Regional – 10 restaurants throughout Los Angeles
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Increase exposure, consumer engagement and Google search results using the social media platform for
Maria’s Italian Kitchen, a chain of 10 restaurants throughout Los Angeles.
OBJECTIVES
• Generate conversation about Maria’s by creating relevant content.
• Strengthen sales and consumers’ loyalty to Maria’s.
• Turn around poor reviews on Yelp.
CHALLENGES
• Restructure Maria’s current social media strategy.
• Make social media a more accessible and understandable entity for a traditionally brick-and-
mortar business.
• Comfortably transition the client and its brand into the realm of social media.
APPROACH
We clearly defined what works in social media, what doesn’t and why. Next we walked them through what
they were currently doing in social media and showed them where they were most vulnerable.
Next we asked a lot of questions, gathered information and developed a clear strategy. Based on our
findings and experience, we suggested three social media that Maria’s could benefit from immediately:
Facebook, Twitter and Yelp.
We studied their business practices and the owner, in particular, since she is actively involved in the day-
to-day business and sets the tone for the entire organization.

We then created several customized pages for their gift cards, data capture, downtown, reservations and
so on.
Next we restructured their current 10 different Facebook friend and group pages into one professional, yet
accessible business page. Then we set up Yelp business pages for each location so we could actively
communicate with each reviewer on behalf of the owner. Lastly, we made some adjustments to the
existing Twitter page.
After restructuring, building and (re)launching their pages, we identified potential customers who would
want to engage with Maria’s and either asked them to become a fan or began following them on Twitter.
To increase exposure and fans, we incorporated Facebook’s behavioral targeted ad campaigns that
brought people back to Maria’s Facebook page. We created several different ads that were targeted by
keyword, demographics and geographic location.
Next we incorporated a Foursquare strategy. When customers’ check-in at their locations, a special was
offered to the Mayor. To take it a step further, we suggested each location have a sign posted welcoming
their Foursquare Mayor by name.
We set up a Flickr account and began posting professional and amateur pictures from Maria’s restaurants
and family. Some go back to the 1920’s.
Lastly we utilized LinkedIn’s group and company tools to promote their specials, seasonal dishes and gift
cards.
RESULTS
Fans and followers seemed a little gun shy at first, but because we consistently posted relevant content
and responded to fans and followers in a timely manner, they began interacting much more and telling
their friends about things that were going on at Maria’s. Their fans and followers grew by 60% in less than
a month.
Foursquare check-ins increased by 167% in 3 months. Customers soon started competing for Mayor title.
Conversations between customers and their own friends started happening at a rapid pace which made a
big impact with search results and decision-making.
Flickr’s photo sharing capabilities brought Maria’s way up to the top of search engines.
Answering both good and bad reviews on Yelp got customers talking. We effectively turned around many
poor reviews into positive ones by making personal contact with each reviewer.

CHALLENGES
• No strategy in place, several accounts opened and unattended as well as fans managing Rick
Dees’ page(s) on his behalf without his consent.
• Comfortably transition the client and his brand into the realm of social media.
APPROACH
First, we asked a lot of questions to determine primary, secondary and tertiary goals. We then did a social
media audit, outlined what was working, what wasn’t and what needed to be added.
We defined what would work best for his brand to connect to his audience and explained why it would be
effective.
We restructured their current social media into a more organized format where fans were clear on where
they could connect with him.
To help increase his fan base on Facebook, we incorporated several variations of ads, constructed a
promotion for an iPad 2 giveaway, customized a page that also allowed for data capture and posted
relevant and engaging content.
On Twitter, we identified a target audience and began following them and they followed back.
We also utilized other sites like You Tube to give people a behind the scenes look at his show, antics and
report trending news.
We consistently interacted with fans on a personal level, provided relevant content across all social media
platforms and created an intimate online community.
RESULTS
Our strategy was so successful, that his fans and followers grew at an expediential rate and people started
engaging, sharing and retweeting.
Soon Twitter lit up about Rick Dees that this post was made on a blog by a fan for Lee Dewyze:
