How We Did It
Facebook + Instagram Content, Boosting and Advertising
NM+U’s fan growth + engagement flywheel philosophy was perfect fit for these two properties. Within the first year, the fan counts were over 80k and 50k respectively. But the true key to retaining these new fans was providing quality, captivating content that kept new users coming in, and existing fans attentive and engaged. Touting an average engagement rate of around 12% each, there’s no doubt that those who come to engage, are coming to stay.
