How I grew Platinum Trailers' total reach to 182K+ in four months.
For four months, I handled the marketing for Platinum Trailers and All-Equip. I managed social media, filmed and edited short-form content, researched the market and competitors, developed brand guidelines, ran email marketing campaigns, and tracked performance each week.
A big part of the role was testing what actually worked. Simple videos showing off the trailers and educational content performed the best. I realized pretty quickly that I didn’t need to overthink every video.
By the end of the term, we beat the goals set in June across Instagram, YouTube, TikTok followers, and overall reach. Monthly social reach grew to 56,420, exceeding the target of 5,000+/per month.
I got to own the work from start to finish, try different ideas, and use the results to decide what we did next.
