Cultivating A Binge-Free Social Following With Bingeable Content.

Despite the overwhelming amount of party-culture content that floods social media every day, a movement of “sober-curious” young people is starting to make a wave.

That’s where HOP WTR lives—a flavored alcohol-free beer with added adaptogens and nootropics for benefits. The company has built a dedicated following in-store, but the team was looking to capitalize on the sober-curious audience on social media to expand their brand awareness.

HOP WTR approached M&P with the task of creating authentic, informative, and fun content tailored to the sober-centric sides of Instagram and TikTok. Our team went to work building a roster of content creators, writing social scripts, and producing authentic content…

OUR SOCIAL MEDIA STRATEGY

Script & Content Planning

Once the pieces are in place, it’s a simple act of creating ideas and scripts for the many situations that fall under the campaign. The M&P worked with HOP WTR to edit scripts, coordinate with content creators, and present social videos to fill the feed.

Campaign Ideation

After research gives us the direction, we build the compass. Campaign ideation consists of our team building storylines for our social arc. For HOP WTR, we built the Ain’t That Your 30s? campaign that focused on the millennials “not able to hang anymore.”

Launch & Optimize

Every social media profile is a living, breathing tool in a marketing arsenal. That’s why, when M&P launches a campaign, it goes through rapid optimizations to perfect the tone, person, timing, and placement of each social post.
