Cow Tales® and Caramel Creams® Candy
C+Co. developed a cohesive social media strategy outlining goals, tactics and KPIs that aligned with Goetze’s overall business plan. We work daily with the Goetze marketing team to reach the company’s various audiences, while attracting and retaining new fans with each post.
Our strategy includes identifying audiences for each brand, refining each brand’s tone of voice, incorporating clear call-to-actions in captions that we know resonate with our followers, and nodding to the rich brand history. On a regular basis, we partner with like-minded creators to reach new audiences and increase user-generated content. We capitalize on ‘holidays’ by outlining precise strategies to lean into cultural moments, such as National Caramel Day, Cow Appreciation Day and National Caramel Month.
