Challenge

Challenge

Being an enormous company with about 30 different business units in Singapore, one of the biggest challenges 3M was facing was having multiple social media presence.

Almost every business unit had its own social media page. For example, they had a different Facebook page for wallpaper, dental, skincare, detergent, etc.

Due to this disjointed way of functioning, what they lacked was a unified brand voice and social media strategy which was reflected in the poor fan base and engagement rate their pages were seeing.

On realizing that they needed a change in strategy, they reached out to us at Brew Interactive for assistance.

Solution

We were asked to develop an integrated social media strategy and cultivate a consistent brand voice.

The first thing we did was consolidate all their pages into one Facebook page to establish a strong social media voice and presence.

We had discussions with every department to understand their products, communication goals, and challenges. On the basis of that, we planned an editorial calendar that included posts promoting every department.

We also developed social media guidelines to inculcate consistency and ensure the brand’s social media presence is a reflection of their business goals.

Once we got 3M’s approval on the calendar, we went on to create engaging content that was meant to educate, inspire and engage their audience.

Results

Our efforts in developing a unified social media strategy and maintaining a coordinated presence on social media paid off. Our four-year collaboration positively impacted their engagement rate and fan following.

Their engagement rate went up from 0.1% to 2.3% and they saw a huge spike in fans from 3,000 to 100K fans through a combination of organic and paid media.
