Case Study: Seeding a Beverage Brand Launch in New Markets through Social Media

Overview

Based in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, Roadhouse Brewing Co. is the result of two entrepreneurs coming together to brew beer, from start-to-finish, that compliments your cuisine. Founders, Colby and Gavin had established a powerful Roadhouse brand locally through their restaurant and brewery. Their next step was to launch their beer purchase in retail locations throughout Jackson Hole and surrounding markets. Key to this would be seeding new markets with consumer brand awareness.

The Challenge

In 2017, Roadhouse launched their brand into retail locations in 4 states. Prior to this the beer was only available at their restaurant and brewery in Jackson Hole. Snyder Group was engaged to seed these markets prior to the launch. The primary goals were to build Roadhouse brand awareness and develop a database of marketing contacts to promote the products to.

Solution

Snyder Group developed a five-week long “WIN FREE BEER FOR A YEAR” sweepstakes campaign delivered primarily through social media to consumers in target markets. Buyer personas were carefully identified then targeted through paid and organic social posts. Sweepstakes entrants would get bonus entries when referring more friends to enter. This extended the campaign exponentially into more relevant audiences.
