Social Media at Soap

SOCIAL CONTENT CREATION

Soap not only manages the conversation; we instigate it with social content aimed at carrying the message far and wide. A content road map unique to each brand, when combined with seeding and a rich understanding of what content merits spreading, can greatly extend and enhance the message.

 

We've created viral videos ranging from a sexy ice cream fight with bikini babes, which had over 2 million views world wide.

to a Lost/A-Team mashup for the premiere of Lost's second season.

Or what about if your audience doesn't understand the rules to a sport?

Sometimes all you need is a provocative image or visualization as these can be picked up anywhere.

See more examples on the 100 Days of Summer overview

We've completed multiple social campaigns involving everything from gaming, Facebook apps to social promotions.

EDUCATION & KNOWLEDGE SHARING

The core of social is sharing, and we feel the same about the lessons we've learned along the way. We place great emphasis on sharing knowledge and best practices with our clients, ensuring that digital budgets are used effectively.

Our series of Facebook white papers focus on debunking myths and educating clients and the wider industry to the best practices we have learned over the last few years.

150,000 views to these presentations and counting.

We host "Digital Update" sessions for clients every 3 months to keep them updated on what is happening in the digital space. Check out our slideshare for the publicly available presentations.
