BACKGROUND
We were asked to find a Manchester-based interior and home styling influencer to design and install a two-bed show apartment at The Gateway. We liaised with the influencer throughout the process, collaborated on content ideas and delivery, secured media interest and provided a detailed evaluation.
APPROACH
To create rapid consumer interest and leverage a challenging media landscape, we sourced and collaborated with Manchester-based influencer Katie Gaskell to generate leads for apartments created by Lovell in the desirable district of Ancoats. Our campaign included:
- Working with the client to produce a detailed brief that included the scope of work, property and design details, buyer profile, logistics of the challenge, proposed timeline and supporting documents
- Researching and liaising with influencers to ensure the right location, price point, values, reach and time capacity
- Directing the chosen influencer by presenting a brief, reviewing mood boards and inspiration
- Supporting both the influencer and client to create a social media plan and set social media deliverables
- Monitoring content being shared across all confirmed social media channels
- Content creation – press release, blog and feature.
- Project management, including a ‘meet the influencer’ event on completion of the project
- Managing financial and contract agreements with the client and the influencer
- Presenting an evaluation to the client, including the number of social posts shared, post engagements and website sessions through UTM links and coverage.
