Consistency is the key to success, and this has been proven by consumer electronic brand boAt through its consistent marketing strategy, which is now giving many well-established audio brands in India a run for their money.
boAt has topped the Sheeko Brandscore leader board this week. It has garnered over 23.5 million eyeballs in an estimated media value of Rs 30-35 lakh.
Sheeko Brandscore graph of boAt’s performance on Instagram:
Brandscore, by Sheeko, is a leaderboard of brands eyeing for consumer engagement with their social media content campaigns. The tool tracks over 5,000 brands on Instagram, analysing over 15 billion data points for associations with influencers, celebs and other content creators and pages. It is powered by four independent algorithms that detect associations and ranks them. They incorporate various parameters such as total reach, engagement, quality of influencers, other brand associations of the influencers, frequency of associations, type of association, et al.
The brand opts for a variety of influencer marketing strategy. In a most recent activity, the singer and the brand’s endorser, Neha Kakkar, is seen engaging with her Instagram audience. Kakkar had asked the audience three questions about herself and the best 30 would receive boAt merchandise signed by her.
