CHALLENGE / TASK

Filmland’s biggest challenge was creating high-quality content in a sustainable, cost-effective way. Additionally, they struggled to apply consistency to their content strategy leaving viewers on social media uncertain about the brand's identity and what differentiated it from competitors.

Firebelly’s primary goal was to help establish and communicate a consistent brand voice around the following:

High-quality spirits crafted with a movie-making mindset.
Combining pop culture nostalgia and mid-century aesthetics that appeals to today's consumers.
Elevate subculture in all its cheeky, rebellious glory and celebrate the campy quirks of its consumers.
Appeal to high-end whiskey connoisseurs.

To accomplish this, Firebelly recommended the following content pillars to shape a dynamic social strategy:

Fusion of film watching and whiskey drinking, highlighted by engaging product photography incorporating a human element, strongly focusing on aesthetic allure.
Cinematic recipe videos crafted with a filmmaking approach, adding a creative twist to craft cocktails.
Sophisticated lifestyle images portray the classy and personality-rich ambiance of Filmland's whiskey-drinking experience.
Integration of trending sounds and video styles to ensure the brand's continued relevance and resonance with the audience.
Incorporation of campy B-list movie reels and images to cater to the unique tastes and quirks of Filmland's consumer base.

After reviewing Filmland’s position and goals, Firebelly recommended:

A consistent posting cadence on both channels (Facebook and Instagram)
Weaving a cohesive brand image on all platforms.
Ramping up both the quantity and quality of videos.
Including a mix of relatable and elevated lifestyle images.
Putting ad spend behind successful content.
