CREATING BRAND AMBASSADORS
STUBB’S BBQ SAUCE
influencer program
IDEA
SPM pitched the client on its idea to create the “Stubb’s Insiders” program, a brand ambassador program that would tap food bloggers who were already BBQ and grilling enthusiasts or home cook Stubb’s fans.
For the cost of groceries alone in the program’s first year, these influencers created recipes, entertaining ideas and beautiful images that became ownable, high-quality content for Stubb’s to share on its website and social channels.
With the program’s initial success, it was expanded to include high-reach, syndicated paid influencers to amplify specific Stubb’s grilling themes, products and messages during key activation periods such as Fourth of July grilling and tailgate season.
RESULTS
Program grew from 8 blogger participants in 2014 to 25 in 2016 and tripled the number of impressions and social reach. 2016 stats included:
• 92 posts
• 14.5 MM UVPM
• 6MM impressions
• 921 #Stubb’sInsiders mentions
• 1.23MM social impressions
