Boosting Half Time's Social Media Presence and Engagement
![](https://framerusercontent.com/images/evI82i6OPvA2R0bjW9ounx4Jo.png)
Half Time, a premier craft beer retailer, aimed to enhance its social media presence to attract more followers and engage the craft beer community. As a Social Media Manager and Graphic Designer, I worked with Half Time to grow their Instagram followers from 6,700 to 18,000 and their Facebook followers from 4,230 to 9,000, leveraging compelling content and strategic engagement.
Client Background:
Half Time began in 2002 as a family business in Poughkeepsie, NY, offering 600 unique beers. They quickly expanded their reach through direct-to-consumer online shipping, catering to craft beer enthusiasts nationwide. By 2011, a second location in Mamaroneck, NY, increased their offerings to nearly 5,000 brews. Half Time is known for its community-focused retail stores, engaging festivals, and pioneering virtual beer events. Their mission is to provide a comprehensive “beervana” experience both online and in-store.

Partnered with craft beer influencers and bloggers to reach a broader audience and increase brand visibility.
Coordinated giveaways and promotions with influencers to boost engagement and attract new followers.
Analytics and Optimization:
