Together with the Tribe, managing the San Antonio Tricentennial’s end-to-end social media was an opportunity I cherished. The opportunity to reach so many and to communicate such a historic event was something I’ll always remember.Below is a brief skeleton summary of our social plan of attack we undertook upon taking over the account in July 2017 and lasting through December 2018.2017: The Build UpHyping New Year’s Eve
- During July through November, teaser “Brand Awareness” objective ads ran, teasing the Tricentennial’s huge New Year’s Eve celebration to kickoff the year.
- Ads were extremely successful in generating awareness, excitement, and curiosity, garnering 75,575 engagements and 442 shares over 5 months
