ProVeg International recently published a case study exploring how Heura Foods harnesses social media to develop its brand and boost sales.
Heura is a Spanish plant-based food company that sells plant-based meat alternatives to chicken, beef, and pork. The company has almost 200,000 followers on its Spanish Instagram, with tens of thousands more across its other global accounts – demonstrating the success of its engaging approach to social media.
To boost your brand’s social media engagement rates in a manner similar to Heura, ProVeg recommends the following:
- Use humour to connect with consumers
- Promote education
- Collaborate with influencers
Overall, crafting a successful social media presence as a plant-based brand is about striking the right balance between being genuine, educational, and promotional. In the words of Heura’s co-founder, Bernat Añaños, “There is always a different way to approach people that you think are impossible to approach…You have to think of how you will stand out.”
