GOAL: INCREASE BRAND AWARENESS
At the beginning of 2018, I was tasked with creating brand awareness for recruiting young professionals around St. Louis with a limited budget. I did some research and decided that the cost effectiveness of Snapchat along with its daily active users age would be a great way to generate brand recognition.
I chose 10 major events around the city and throughout the year to promote our brand. I priced out each filter to make sure we could maximize square footage for the GEO filter but keep within our $1,000 budget.
For each event, I made a custom Snapchat filter that was branded with Abstrakt’s logo or name. Before users can use the filter the message “Sponsored By Abstrakt” appears, thus adding to the brand awareness. I scheduled each filter ahead of time after noticing price gauging close to the event date. Here were my top filters.
