Strategic
approach.
After conducting an initial social media audit, we found that Mercure Dunkenhalgh had a good following and an engaged audience, particularly on Facebook, with LinkedIn being the least utilised platform.
We aimed to raise awareness of The Dunk’s multi-million-pound refund and hotel development, promoting the hotel’s different offerings, and ultimately generating bookings and new enquiries. We achieved this by transforming the hotel’s social media strategy, regularly posting consistent, high-quality content across all platforms.

- Implemented a regular posting schedule, with four posts per week on Instagram, three posts per week on Facebook, and two posts per week on LinkedIn.

- Implemented weekly engagement to raise brand awareness, finding the best hashtags for our demographic.
- Followed and engaged with local bloggers and influencers.
