Using Social Listening To Understand Key Audiences
Pioneer DJs a specialist music brand of the multinational Pioneer corporation.
Our task was to form an in-depth behavioural understanding of young social media users in the 13-16 demographic.
By implementing our revolutionary social listening techniques, we were able to form a definitive profile of Pioneer’s chosen target market.
Once this picture was formed, we created and advised on the exact kind of content and messaging this particular demographic interacted with most when utilising social media.
This priceless insight enabled the creation of high-impact, cost-efficient specialist campaigns that engaged music students and parents across the UK.

Supporting Multinational Social Media Campaigns
Our teams supported multinational seasonal global delivery campaigns for the world’s most recognised online marketplace, increasing engagement among potential customers.
By closely monitoring the social behaviours and browsing routines of both new and existing eBay customers, we were able to craft a carefully considered strategy that featured a combination of organic and paid content, all geared towards boosting engagement and UK delivery bookings.
Guided by our state-of-the-art social listening technique, every single piece of content we produced served a specific purpose in the customer journey, ensuring maximum impact and ROI.
Our results saw a content engagement increase of 62% paired with a 37% hike in bookings offered clear proof that our tailored content strategy was a hit with eBay customers.

Building Unique Organic & Paid Social Strategies
The Avocado Company provides world-class sourcing, packing and ripening to major supermarkets across the UK, in 2018 they tasked us with developing a social presence that translates to increased sales.
Driven by bespoke social-first content, we built a strategy that combined both organic and paid social that not only kept existing followers engaged, but tapped into brand new audiences that The Avocado Company was yet to reach.
Alongside considered community engagement, we ensured that all social channels provided genuine value, ultimately turning passive content consumers into regular customers and brand advocates.
Since taking over the social reigns, we’ve not only significantly boosted The Avocado Company’s social presence and sentiment, our partnership has also led to a whopping 30% increase in sales for the brand.

Utilising Relevant Influencers To Improve Reach
Founded by Boston marathon winner of the same name, the Ronhill brand has a history littered with design and fabric innovations that have furthered the cause (and comfort) of running globally.
Our innovative team was tasked with developing an influencer marketing campaign that would see us manage relationships with 50 socially active runners to celebrate the brand’s 50th anniversary.
By delivering unique, collaborative content across Instagram, whilst ensuring influencers matched our ‘brand-fit’ criteria we were able to successfully reach vast new audiences.

Social Republic Releases Groundbreaking First-Aid Quizbot For The British Red Cross
We teamed up with the British Red Cross to build and release a world first, first aid quizbot.
The British Red Cross’ quizbot has been launched to help parents learn life saving, first aid skills.
The quizbot covers key first aid topics including broken bones, burns and bumps to the head, with all sections designed to be completed within one minute.
Users will also be able to download and share the Red Cross’ quizbot course completion badges with family and friends.
The quizbot is available to access now on the Red Cross’ Facebook page.
James Reed, British Red Cross first aid spokesperson said: “Launching as part of our World First Aid Day campaign, the Facebook first aid quizbot is an innovative new way for parents to learn simple, life-saving skills in just one minute.
“We know that from recent research that whilst over half of parents have had to deal with an accident in the home, almost a third wouldn’t know how to help their child in a first aid emergency. With more parents at home with their children it’s as vital as ever to learn skills that could save a life.
“Lockdown has also seen parents juggling multiple responsibilities, that’s why we’ve found a way to make learning first aid quick, easy and fun.”
Ceo of Social Republic, Rob Illidge added “We’re delighted to have worked with the British Red Cross on this super incredibly exciting and important campaign.
“It’s a great accomplishment to have delivered a world first quizbot in time for World First Aid Day, and for an amazing charity such as the British Red Cross.
“The team has worked incredibly hard over the last few weeks to build the flow, incorporate assets and test the user experience.
“I’m proud of everyone at the agency for their dedication to this campaign.”
The Facebook first aid quizbot can be found at the British Red Cross’ Facebook Page. Send a message to the page to get started to test your knowledge and skills: facebook.com/BritishRedCross
