Why did Mediacorp create SocialHub?

• More than 80% of Singaporeans are on social media, and social media marketing is increasingly becoming a key part of any marketing strategy to increase awareness of one’s brand, product or service.

• Statistics also show that close to 51% of Singaporeans are influenced by social media when making purchasing decisions.

• Mediacorp hopes SocialHub will enable marketers to tap on the extensive reach of close to 300 talents comprising artists and content creators from The Celebrity Agency, Bloomr.SG, Fly Entertainment and Starsnest to reach out to their target audiences, and at a budget that suits them.

• It wants to do this by helping marketers to self-create, order and track their campaigns via a single platform. This begins with clients furnishing SocialHub with key information such as the campaign brief, objectives, target audience and desired reach.

• Based on these parameters, Mediacorp will engage suitable social influencers to create and post campaign-related content on various social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.

• Thereafter, clients can track the performance of their campaigns in real-time and make adjustments, if necessary.

• At any stage of a campaign, they can also call upon a team of social media strategists and analysts who are on hand to provide dedicated end-to-end support, as well as take advantage of the platform’s integrated chatbot system for instant communication.
