Renaissance Theater Success Story: How they grew 186% followers, 640% reach, 590% engagement, and 3,649% comments organically on Instagram

The essence of social media is interaction between users. With that, more important than publishing is practicing the exchange and creating a dialogue relationship with those who are following us. The Renaissance Theater case has a lot to do with this and is directly related to the numbers we saw last year: 186% growth in the number of followers; in range 640%; in engagement 590% and; in comments 3649%. All organically.

Teatro Renaissance – known in São Paulo for its tradition

Teatro Renaissance was born in the late 1990s and, since its inception, its directors have contemplated the most varied scenic forms, with different shows, languages, proposals and approaches to human relations. The illustrious names of Bibi Ferreira, Elza Soares, Pedro Paulo Rangel, Cristiane Torloni, Marisa Orth and Juca de Oliveira are among those that are part of its history.

In addition to its privileged location, on Eixo da Paulista, Teatro Renaissance has a large loyal audience, which has a very close and assiduous relationship with the space. For many, it is a recurring meeting point on weekends.

Relationship between Instagram and Teatro Renaissance

Unlike many brands that didn't hesitate to migrate to Instagram, when the social network gained popularity, Renaissance only arrived on the platform in 2020 and in a pandemic context. That is, with the brand unfamiliar with the possibilities that social media can offer.

With that, we devised strategies that not only diversify the contents and explore other publication formats, but also that make a humanized communication of its values and keep the history of the theater alive, remembering and doing justice to the shows that have already been there and could not be recorded on the network when they happened.

Organic 100% results on Instagram

As a result, Teatro Renaissance was able to reach many new people in an organic way, without any advertisements, and awaken reactions and comments, often related to a memory of a moment they lived there, to the emotions they felt when watching a play.

From this, it became possible to evolve more and more organic performance metrics to the point that theater directors feel comfortable in forgoing investments in the media.

Networks and Social Media: when to use each term?

Currently, much is heard about the terms Social Networks and Media, as they have become important tools for social and business relationships. Therefore, confusion is common when trying to define them or understand that they are different things.

Read too: The importance of OHH media for companies

It may seem simple, but in order to have a greater campaign development and improve internet boosting techniques, it is important to understand what each of the terms are and how they work.

Social media

The term social network basically means creating a relationship with people sharing common values and goals, not being connected to the internet. The family, as well as the work environment, are examples of social relationships.

With the advancement of technology and its implementation in our daily lives, these connections began to form over the internet as well. A dating site or social network is where you can connect with other people or groups of individuals through a profile in order to share content.

In this way, interactions that used to be restricted to offline life, such as meetings in bars and restaurants, now also happen online. To do this, just access platforms such as Facebook, Youtube, Instagram and Linkedin.

Social media

Social media, in turn, are defined as a means of disseminating and decentralizing information – free and paid – and messages. The term emerged in 1990 when traditional media companies began to lose ground to digital technology.

The main objective of these media is the creation, dissemination and sharing of content that enables public interaction without the involvement of social relationships. Thus, when we refer to digital environments connected through the internet, we are referring to the term social media.

Therefore, social media platforms between logged in users are characterized by the creation of relationship networks. Therefore, the aforementioned social networks are seen as a part of what we call social media.

How relationships occur is the main difference between networks and social media

As explained, social media corresponds to any channel where interaction takes place. The same can also be said of social networks, but it is necessary to know how to differentiate the ways in which interactions take place.

In the case of social networks, the relationship between users is the main focus, which is the reason for its creation. Therefore, it is common for websites to develop more and more tools to increase interactions, so that people get closer.

With social media, although there are exchanges of information between people, this relationship is less fervent. An example to elucidate this difference is the way websites and blogs develop their interactions through comments. In this area, it is possible for users to share opinions and information with each other, but this occurs in a more restricted and limited way.

Don't Ignore Instagram

Currently being one of the social networks with the highest retention in Brazil, Instagram is a platform that has a very interesting proposal for approaching the public, thus having great potential to attract new customers and pass on the brand's values through content on a daily basis. In addition, Google Ads and other resources are expected to migrate to Instagram advertising, thus leaving the platform's terrain even more fertile for content marketing.

More real social networks

Until a few years ago, it was very common for brands to be concerned with building millimetrically impeccable feeds. However, what agencies have observed is that the public interacts better with publications that are closer to ordinary people, that is, without corporatism or the use of super elaborate layouts. Thus, a trend that can be observed in this year of Digital Marketing is the growth of posts with relaxed content in real time, thus resulting in greater public identification with the brand.

More interaction on your social networks

Taking advantage of this hook of strengthening the relationship with the public, also use social media publications to invite your followers to comment, so the brand can be more successful on social media and reach more people in an organic way, that is, without sponsorship Ads. If on Facebook you can make posts to generate comments and the most diverse reactions, on Instagram, encourage people to save your posts.

From Google to social networks

Still talking about social networks, in 2020 a feature should arrive that will liven up social media. This is because it is planned to incorporate content generated on social networks into Google results. That is, posts made on platforms such as Facebook and Instagram can reach an audience beyond their respective users and thus enhance the ranking of brands that already have a history of producing content on blogs, for example.

More media for blogs

Blogs are one of the main tools of content marketing. However, in addition to helping the site's organic ranking in the medium and long term, this content tends to gain a new prop, audio text. The resource also has the advantage of democratizing the material, as people who are deaf or have other limitations will have efficient access to what is being discussed.

Podcasts are also among the trends in Digital Marketing

Continuing with the audio subject, it is impossible not to talk about the phenomenon of podcasts. According to a Spotify survey carried out at the end of 2019, consumption of this content model has grown by 21% per month since January 2018.

One of the main advantages of this medium is that it can be consumed by the public during working hours, at the gym or performing another mechanical task. In this way, the podcast can capture other groups and, consequently, gain new customers who share their ideas.

data protection

The General Data Protection Law should come into force this year. With that in mind, this is a key moment to talk to customers about the use of their data. The idea is for companies to transparently inform their customers about what will be done with the information provided and leave the unsubscribe option always open.
