We had a lot of fun with this video. I wanted to do a creative video thats fun, informal and not perfect, just like crafting!
The aim of this mini campaign was to improve reach and engagement on our Facebook page. We had people of all ages scouring our Facebook and engaging with us and each other. It also helped bring a new younger audience in the doors.
Hidden Treasures was already beloved for its beautiful products and friendly staff, but I set out to amplify that warmth and charm across its advertising and email marketing.
