Big Lick Brewing Company

Big Lick Brewing Company approached us requesting an audit of their social media marketing efforts. The Big Lick team had concerns about their engagement compared to their competitors. Post likes, reactions, comments, clicks, and shares were down, and the team wanted to learn how to improve their content.

In today’s digital age, social media has become an indispensable tool for businesses of all sizes. It offers a unique platform for companies to engage directly with their audience, foster relationships, and build brand loyalty. By maintaining an active presence on social media, businesses can showcase their products or services, share updates, and provide valuable content that resonates with their target market. This level of engagement helps retain existing customers and attracts potential ones by creating a strong online presence. Social media platforms allow businesses to humanize their brand, making them more relatable and trustworthy in the eyes of consumers.
