Shorty Award Audience Honor: Retail & E-commerce

Our Retail & E-commerce Audience Honor was for the work
we did with Altar’d State. Altar’d State is a women’s fashion retailer looking
to build a strategic and effective presence on digital and traditional
networks, centered around the target consumer and their shopping habits.

significant amount of socially-attributed sales between January 2018 – December
2018:

  • 30% increase in return on ad spend from the
    previous year
  • 88% year-over-year increase in last-touch sales
    attribution from social media
  • Revenue was driven via socially-attributed
    purchases, 78% of which came from offline, in-store conversions

    77% year-over-year

Shorty Award Audience Honor: Large Media Buying Strategy

Our work with Discover Boating gave us the Audience Honor for
the Large Media Buying category. Discover Boating was looking for a partner to
increase boating participation and manufacturer referrals from their social
channels. We implemented a multi-phased strategic approach that aligned to the
stages of the purchase funnel.

qualified users down the path to conversion.

    last year with half of the media budget
  • 62% decrease in cost per manufacturing referral
  • Socially referred traffic converted at 2x the
    rate of traffic referred in 2017
