2017 March Board Book

Social Media In 2017 we will continue the “always on” approach introduced in 2016 and will have continual promotion of content throughout the year. Throughout the second half of 2016, we saw positive results and our social channels continue to be one of our most efficient ways of getting fans to interact with CMAB content. For 2016, to great success, we chose to focus more on engagement within the social channel vs clicking out to RCM.com. Engagement with our content has grown exponentially; across both Facebook and Instagram, 368,000 fans have reacted to our posts, 2,800 have left comments and almost 25,000 have shared a CMAB post to their own page or a friend’s page – this is just on our own channels. One of the highlights in 2016 was partnering with Tastemade for content development and distribution. We now have over 28 recipe videos and have achieved over 26 million views across our channels as well as theirs. Another highlight was the creation of our “Growing Up Dairy” videos. In both cases, we were able to take this content from our social channels and also integrate it into RCM.com, providing visitors new, fresh content. During the first half of 2017, we will be posting the remaining Tastemade assets as well as the remaining “Growing Up Dairy” content. We will also be repurposing some of the assets posted in 2016 to align with messaging used from our national partners. For instance, in January we were able to repurpose our Mango Avocado Smoothie Bowl, California Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding and California Overnight Oats videos and pair them with new copy supporting MilkPEP’s My Morning Protein campaign. We will also explore new opportunities to create content in 2017 that will continue to tell the Real Food story and establish a POV with our content that helps give greater meaning to the seal. We will also be exploring new digital media partnerships along the lines of Tastemade as we look to create and amplify new content.
