Reaching thousands of fans with a single click

One Nation is a dance music promoter and event organizer in the UK, specializing in Drum & Bass and Old Skool events across the nation. With a strong track record of sell-out events at some of the UK’s biggest club venues, One Nation helps music artists build followings, and brings audiences the hottest music around.

One Nation uses SocialHP software to recognize and develop brand ambassadors, sending “blasts” out through them to drive traffic and increase activity on their Facebook fan page.

Challenges: Reach audiences, build branding

Creating a Social Media Brand Ambassador program was easy for One Nation, quite simply, the posted on their own Facebook Fanpage looking for members to join their “Slammin’ Vinyl Street Team”.

The response in the first hour was overwhelming.

Using SocialHP, One Nation was quickly able to sort the applicants by the total number of friends and cherry pick a handful of select brand ambassadors based on their total reach, age and interests.

Now One Nation uses blasts to counter the challenges of reaching audiences and building their brand.

How it works

Once a week, One Nation logs onto their intuitive SocialHP dashboard and composes a blast message that includes relevant details about upcoming events (typically including a thumbnail to an event). Once this user-friendly process is complete, clicking “Blast” instantly posts the content to the Facebook pages of One Nation’s newly acquired brand ambassadors where it’s viewed thousands of times by the members’ corresponding circles of friends.

In addition to driving engagement for their Facebook fan page, One Nation uses SocialHP’s powerful analytic tools to identify their top brand ambassadors. “With SocialHP’s “Peer Influencer Index”, it was easy for us to pinpoint the most valuable brand ambassadors and offer added incentives for them to promote our parties,” said Jason Willans, Social Media Marketing Consultant for One Nation. “We went from 7,000-8,000 reach to 25,000 reach in two weeks.” “That’s insane.”

Key One Nation statistics

Since implementing SocialHP technology and using it both to drive participation and develop brand ambassadors, One Nation has seen incredible results. The company published blasts to 29 brand ambassadors on March 19, and again on March 20. Both days, they experienced massive spikes in engagement and the engagement remained at the new, higher level following the blast.
