Case Study | The Hybrid Shop

Client Challenge

The Hybrid Shop was starting from square 1.5. They had the beginnings of a website and blog and needed social media and online promotion.

Their mission was to educate the public about their new, green technology that was seen by some as controversial. They had to debunk myths on a grand scale and get buy-in from those in their industry. THS’ goal was to sell franchises on a global scale as well as products that supported the technologies found in their franchise locations.

Our Solution

We partnered with their web developer to complete their online presence, creating Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram and YouTube pages and profiles. This included some imagery, implementation of brand messaging and amplifying their brand voice.

In addition, we formulated and executed a social media strategy that included blog content, company class and events promotion, industry information as well as spotlighting their franchise partners and collaborators. We handled their social content creation, social media content syndication, social response and brand monitoring.

How It Performed

For a new and controversial technology, there was a lot of enthusiasm for their brand. Social engagement was consistent and fans contacted the brand via their social media on a regular basis.

The Hybrid Shop added new franchises consistently during the time we worked with them. Their events were well-attended, and they did well at the SEMA Shows where they hosted booths each year.

THS was able to secure feature video spots with Terry Bradshaw and Donald Trump Jr., and attracted a multi-million dollar investment which dramatically changed the already positive trajectory of their business and franchise network.

Testimonial

“We are so fortunate that we entrusted Keri to manage our social media. She grew our online voice and social media presence to position us as leaders in our industry. This was a very daunting task since our company, The Hybrid Shop, was new and represented an emerging industry with a new audience. We appreciated her responsive monitoring and graphics that engaged and created a great response from our audience. Keri always kept us informed of trends and any SM platform changes that would affect us and is incredibly knowledgeable about all the different facets of social media.” ~Judy Curry, Chief Marketing Officer, The Hybrid Shop

Any time Keri takes on a new technology or solution, she makes her best effort to learn it inside out, leverage her networks, and share her findings with those actively engaged with her. She’s very good with keeping up with key influencers in her vast network which we know is rather difficult in our hurried business and personal lives alike.

Keri was diligent, caring, understanding, and truly interested in the business. The business is unique in its placement and market, providing free house and pet sitting services worldwide, and she jumped in with enthusiasm and professionalism. She clearly identified the areas needing improvement and how best to position the brand within the marketplace. Keri came up with some really clear and concise messaging and helped to target the marketing to the appropriate stakeholders. She left me with a dynamic and full slate of Social Media messaging that I still use today. Keri was honest and didn’t sugarcoat the message, but offered direct and honest feedback. I would not hesitate to recommend Keri to any business who is looking for assistance in the Social Media and online marketplace.

Keri Jaehnig is fantastic – particularly at identifying gaps in one’s marketing and positioning presence. In the period I’ve worked with her, she suggested some key additions to my approach that have helped accelerate the growth of #WeLeadComms and strengthened my personal brand substantially.
