It began with the development of a social media blueprint that defined our approach, goals and the roles our social channels would play as we worked to achieve the organization’s business objectives.
The new operations structure began clicking immediately, realizing organic gains of 35,000 in Facebook fans and 15,000 in Twitter followers in the first six months. Reaching critical mass opened up new areas of innovation within our MarCom activity and the team soon developed an unprecedented go-to-market strategy.
Callaway’s “Tweet to Unleash” campaign was the first ever multimedia new product introduction powered by Twitter hashtags. Taking over the homepage of CallawayGolf.com was a concealed image of the company’s flagship driver for 2013. Positioned as the #LongestDriverInGolf, participants were to tweet with this dedicated hashtag. Each tweet contributed towards the reveal of the image, unlocked videos detailing the product’s technological advancements, and gave the participant a chance to win one these drivers before they arrived at retail in 2013. (A link to the “Tweet to Unleash” page can be accessed by clicking the Project’s name above.)
It was evident something special was taking place on Day 1, as unique tweets featuring #LongestDriverInGolf and links to the homepage quickly climbed to a rate of 50 per minute, yielding approx 12,000 total campaign tweets. Callaway also increased its Twitter following by 2,000 and #LongestDriverInGolf owned the top organic trending topic for several hours of the afternoon ($100-120k estimated value).
Perhaps most importantly, we were cultivating a Callaway Nation of brand advocates that were eager to display their affiliation with the brand and passion for their products. Of the many goals that the Global Communications team identified at the beginning of the year, this one ranked extremely high.Other creatorsSee project
