Case Study #1: Buffalo Wild Wings
Agency: space150
Buffalo Wild Wings' focus is pretty simple: Wings, Beer, and Sports. If there is a better place to start for a social media assignment, we haven't seen it. Hear how space150 took an already thriving social brand with a loyal audience, and turned it up a notch to drive record setting growth, and engagement during BWW's most important time of year: Football Season.

Case Study #2: Carmex
Agency: Bolin
What happens when you dream for an epic viral event and it actually comes true? Are you prepared for what comes next? This presentation covers the Carmex Half-Court Hero Contest from conception all the way up to the amazing half-court shot made by 50-year-old computer technician, Micahel Drysch. That basket, followed by a tackle from LeBron James resulted in what we now refer to as the "Epic Worldwide Adventure", which delivered over 486 million earned media impressions for the Carmex brand.

Case Study #3: Michelina
Agency: Spyder Trap
Michelina's is a nationally-distributed frozen food brand based out of Minneapolis. However, the company had no social media presence before coming to Spyder Trap in late 2012. Through a combination of new website design, paid advertising and organic engagement we were able to not only establish the brand on Facebook and Twitter, but were able to make the brand relevant in a crowded digital space. We combined product-focused posts with an extensive listening strategy allowing us to find users tweeting about Michelina's and initiate conversations with potential brand advocates. At the same time, we were increasing referral traffic to their website leveraging a previous untapped audience. This holistic approach took Michelina's from the bottom of the freezer to top of mind with consumers.
Presented by: Steve Retka, Social Media Coordinator
Mike has over 3 years of agency experience working with a variety of clients and industries. He's also a self-professed tech geek, football aficionado, and an avid photographer.
