How We Helped
- Created a brand new website optimized for SEO and to showcase the movie preview and show times. Frankly it isn’t much to look at but it did the job quite well.
- Designed new creatives for the Facebook Fan Page and updated the page with a splash page with information about the movie
- Developed and launched a Facebook ad campaign (details below)
Facebook Campaign Details
The Facebook campaign was fast paced. After performing research on all actors in the film we compiled the audience demographics, developed ad creative (copy and imagery), and launched the campaign.
Every 24 hours I logged into Facebook and adjusted the ad copy and demographics based on the latest insights.
The Facebook ads pointed to the Meeting Spencer Facebook Fan page that used the movie info splash image to greet visitors.
Original Website
The original Meeting Spencer website consisted of a single image – the playbill:
