Social Media Management for Wagamama
Balans Social was hired to manage the organic social media management, content creation and influencer marketing program for Wagamama USA.
The Challenge
Over the course of 18 months, Balans Social had the privilege of partnering with Wagamama USA. As Wagamama expanded their number of restaurants around the United States, we were tasked with developing an organic social media content strategy in order to maximize engagement and grow their following in target locations.
