About Remote

Company background

Remote.com is a disruptive B2B company that helps businesses hire, pay and manage people remotely all over the world. When their social media team found Sculpt, Remote had already established a wonderful community, distinct brand, and impressive following.

Wisely, they knew there was still massive opportunity to strengthen their association with remote hiring globally.

If only they had more creative support to do it all.

You can see where this is going, right?

PLAN TO SUCCESS

Project brief & challenge

“We love moving fast” read the brief. So the Sculpt team got to work establishing benchmarks, auditing channel performance, and creating an organic social strategy framework aimed around building trust and relationships with the leaders responsible for building a global remote workforce.

Channel Strategy is about resource allocation — where do we keep, stop, and start? Primary efforts centered on social channels that exhibited consistent follower growth and engagement, indicating that increased investment and focus could fuel bigger results.

THE GAMEPLAN

The approach

Sculpt leaned into proactive engagement strategies and new content pillars that aimed to connect Remote with global communities of remote professionals, including influencers, customers, and advocates.

Our team approached leveling up social in three areas:

👉 A channel strategy that speak to the unique audiences and niche communities that live on each platform.

👉  Priority content formats and tactics that help build community, lift awareness, and generate higher levels of engagement (and qualified leads).

👉 Community engagement with remote work advocates to cement our POV with insightful #RemoteWork viewpoints.

PROJECT RESULTS WITH SCULPT

Key results

Our proactive presence meant Remote was well positioned to jump onto timely moments, and Remote leaned in to their POV even when topics threatened to be controversial. When a pro-RTO tweet thread from serial entrepreneur Brett Adcock gained major traction, an opportunity emerged to double down on Remote’s stance by quote tweeting the biggest evangelist they have — their CEO — resulting in more than 139,000 views.

At a program level over the first ~6 months: Nearly 80,000 new LinkedIn followers, a 36% lift in monthly average LinkedIn interactions, and more than 6,700 engagements (comments, reactions) + 100s of thousands of views earned from proactive replies.

SUCCESS FOR THE FUTURE

Impact

More than metrics alone, Sculpt became the team extension Remote needed during a pivotal period of growth. That meant shared Figma boards and Slack channels, exploring with wishlist ideas, and whatever else our wildly talented and time-strapped head of social media collaborator needed to grow.

Social Strategy Breakdown

If there's one takeaway for picking channels, it's this: Every platform should serve a primary purpose. Here were ways we looked at the ecosystem.

technical channels

Reddit, YouTube, Twitter (X), and Quora can be categorized as technical channels given the solution-seeking conversations that exist on the platforms. They’re excellent platforms to share knowledge, resources, and spark conversations with pros and peers.

trend channels

Instagram and TikTok can be categorized as Trend Channels given their emphasis on elevating human experiences. For instance, it’s the best channel for experiencing what remote work looks like from various perspectives, regions, and roles. If your team lives across the globe, it’s a perfect place for employee-led content.

business savvy channels

LinkedIn and Facebook (Groups) can be categorized as Business Savvy Channels given that key decision makers and influencers spend learning time here. (Say for instance, those looking to modernize their approach with hiring.) Like technical channels, LinkedIn and Facebook could be leveraged to share expert advice, and join active conversations out in the open.

Our content Strategy was built on three key content pillars that reach audiences with different needs — from finding community to leveling up their HR practices.

Sculpt grouped these channels into three audience segments (e.g. digital nomads & remote workers, remote employers, and contractors) to guide its content strategy and effectively engage with and address the specific needs of each group.
