The Challenge
Engage with target audience and grow social media following
Despite its 50-year history of success, Bubba Rope struggled to attract visitors on social media. Engagement was down, and the number of followers had failed to increase by a notable amount.
Bubba Rope knew that it was important to engage a following on social media, but in-house efforts failed to deliver the results they desired.
“We were tired of spinning our wheels. We tried a few directions, but just weren’t seeing the following and engagement that we were looking for. We knew that we needed to find an expert to help us connect to consumers.” –Bubba Rope
J. E. Reel looked for a better way to connect with their target audience, knowing that it was essential in their niche. They knew their driveline products were the best in the market, but they grew frustrated in their attempts to find the best way to connect with the right customers.
“We serve a very particular type of automotive enthusiast, who may or may not be aware of our driveline solutions. Our product is trusted by the world’s best rock crawlers, but we knew we needed to do a better job of connecting with our audience on social media.” –J. E. Reel
