Central Market: Influencer Pilot Program
Central Market, established in 1994, has garnered widespread acclaim throughout Texas, cultivating a dedicated following. Renowned for its comprehensive offerings, including full-service kitchens, culinary schools hosting cooking and wine classes, and immersive shopping experiences, Central Market sought to leverage its existing fan base by collaborating with influencers active on Instagram and TikTok. These influencers naturally showcased the brand's distinctive and meticulously curated experiences.
As the senior social strategist at Hahn Agency, I ideated, pitched, and spearheaded the creation of a groundbreaking pilot program for Central Market. As a part of the research phase, I conducted extensive social listening reports and utilized influencer identification tools to create a list of suitable candidates that aligned with the brand's ethos. From initial outreach to negotiating contracts, I managed all aspects of the influencer partnerships. Additionally, I crafted comprehensive campaign and brand briefs, ensuring influencers were equipped with clear brand messaging and key themes to align their content with Central Market's vision. Finally, I meticulously executed the influencer campaigns across social platforms, driving engagement and enhancing the brand's online presence. This strategic initiative marked a pivotal moment in Central Market's marketing strategy, showcasing the power of influencer collaborations in amplifying brand awareness and fostering consumer engagement.
