Our research revealed that most social media platforms are not primarily built to connect strangers. But IamHere, presents a safe system and upon that we decided to build our communication & outreach.
Our approach was to get a quick mass traction to increase awareness about the brand. The challenge here was to identify a fresh userbase and customise campaigns in unique manner.
With ad campaigns targeted to encourage more and more downloads, our messaging was driven by the core functionality and a sentimentally drawn messaging. After performing split tests with various campaign & communication designs, we narrowed down our effort to three. The focus of these were:
- Sentiment to connect
- Professional growth
- Networking
As a result of our marketing efforts the app achieved 1,50,000 downloads within a quarter with a 90% active userbase. Since the launch we have helped standardise operations & feedback management for IamHere.
It was a learning experience for thesoarmedia in the sense that we learnt about user preferences while optimising campaigns. This experience has since helped us create efficient & effective campaigns for our app-based clients.
It continues to be a privilege to be working with an innovative product and a resourceful team.
