Effective social media management in Scandinavia

Founded in 1966, NETGEAR is a pioneer of advanced networking technologies for homes, businesses and service providers around the world. NETGEAR leads the industry with a broad range of award-winning networking products designed to simplify and improve people’s lives.

Goal

Laying the foundation for a successful social media presence

During the latter half of 2019, NETGEAR expressed an interest in connecting and expanding their relationship with Scandinavian audiences via Facebook and Instagram. The objective was both to drives sales and increase knowledge of their market-leading home networking products.

To help with this, digitalPR was chosen to project-lead, manage and develop NETGEAR’s paid and organic social media presence in three of the Scandinavian countries: Sweden, Norway and Denmark.

DigitalPR managed three unique Facebook pages in different languages. The tasks included creative copywriting relevant to each country, in addition to localization of NETGEAR global content, community management, and paid advertising.

Strategy

Addressing specific target groups with relevant content

Our team of B2C tech copywriters wrote original content, including piggybacking on popular local events, such as national holidays. We also localized existing material in order to reach specific user groups for certain products. For example, we built audiences and content to target families who enjoy traveling and could benefit from NETGEAR’s mobile routers, as well as professionals working from home who may need a better WiFi connection. Similarly, for the important gaming market, we created audiences around popular titles, such as Fortnite, for NETGEAR’s Nighthawk Pro Gaming sub-brand.

In order to ensure we were spending the client’s ad budget effectively, we used Facebook Business Manager to define target audiences, create effective ad content and conduct A/B split testing. Once the content had been crafted, localized, and published, we carefully monitored the spend/performance ratio and other key metrics to connect with the most relevant users for the product in mind, constantly striving for a balance between low click prices and conversions.

We also replied quickly to any customer queries in each local language, to make sure users visiting the Facebook pages felt taken care of and up-to-date on the latest NETGEAR news.

Outcome

Tripling the expected results

digitalPR’s efforts lead to a large increase in followers in all three countries, more than tripling the expected results and KPIs. We were also able to drive exponential traffic to local NETGEAR landing pages, ultimately achieving the goal of educating users about new NETGEAR technologies and products.
