Social Media Brand Strategy Content

OVERVIEW

WayMaker Media is an independent media company that entered a competitive digital publishing space. Narratent was tasked with building a modern, scroll-stopping social presence from the ground up.

THE CHALLENGE

The brand’s social strategy was limited to duplicating print articles. Team, budget, and talent were just a few of the resource constraints that the company faced.

Social Content

Beyond branded campaigns, Narratent produced original social content that drove discovery, shareability, and follower growth. These were the top-performing posts by new followers generated.
