Helping Kramer Oil connect with local audiences through content and creative strategy
The Highlights
Kramer Oil collaborated with Mayes MarCom to enhance its social presence and brand engagement. This comprehensive project involved social media content creation and management, radio advertising, and professional photography and videography to tell Kramer Oil's story in a way that connected with its audience.
The Challenge
Kramer Oil, a third-generation family-owned gas and oil business, needed to expand its digital footprint to reach a wider audience while staying true to its commitment to community and customer service. Their goals included:
- Strengthening brand visibility and engagement online.
- Increasing engagement on Facebook and Instagram, with the ultimate goal of reaching local audiences more effectively through digital marketing.
- Creating high-quality visuals that would attract attention and reflect their values and expertise.
Before working with Mayes MarCom, Kramer Oil experienced low reach and impressions on social media, limited clicks, and slow audience growth.
The Solution
Mayes MarCom implemented a multifaceted strategy to meet Kramer Oil's goals, including:
- Social Media Content Creation and Optimization: Developed and executed a content calendar featuring engaging posts about industry insights, company milestones, and the company and Kramer family’s involvement in the community. Over time, analytics were used to refine strategies and increase engagement.
- Radio Advertising: Created compelling radio ad scripts to highlight Kramer Oil's services, emphasizing their local roots, the seasonality of what they offer, and their reliability as a community partner.
- Photography and Videography: Conducted professional photo and video shoots that captured Kramer Oil’s operations and community commitment. These assets were used across marketing channels to elevate storytelling.
The Results
Our two-year partnership delivered measurable success for Kramer Oil, including:
