Challenges

Existing software was complicated and didn’t ensure posting consistency

Medi-Weightloss® was already using a solution for brand presence on social media. But analysis of their previous solution showed critically low local adoption due to a steep learning сurve.

Difficult access to branded content for franchisees

The posting consistency was held back by the limited and rarely updated content that lacked the ability to localize it.

No ability to localize content automatically

The head office was concerned about brand consistency as they had no control over their franchisees’ social posts.

Solution

To promote the brand on social the HQ needed to boost the platform’s number of active users. Only easy-to-use tools to access and post content could make franchisees use the platform.

In line with the HQ marketing team, we provide franchisees with simple technology and education.

To ensure franchisees are equipped to represent the brand, they receive a top tier education program and live support to grow their social media understanding and platform usage.
