Some projects arrive with long lead times, and others arrive urgently. Sofa City contacted us in mid-November with a major challenge: promote their Black Friday Liquidation Sale Weekend at the Red Cow Moran Hotel, beginning in just 14 days. They had no Instagram, Facebook, or TikTok accounts in place and needed immediate visibility to drive strong attendance. Our role was to build an online presence from scratch and create enough momentum to bring people through the doors.
Starting From Zero
Launching a brand digitally in such a tight timeframe required a clear and aggressive strategy. We created new social media accounts, established a strong visual identity, and began posting high-impact content immediately. Every piece of content focused on urgency, value, and reasons for customers to attend the sale in person. To strengthen visibility beyond digital channels, we also distributed 35,000 flyers across Dublin and placed branded pull-up banners throughout the Red Cow Moran Hotel. The combined approach centred on reach, audience awareness, and fast algorithm traction.
Instagram Performance
Instagram gained momentum immediately, especially impressive given that the account started from zero and had no existing audience to build from. Views and reach climbed sharply as posts gained traction beyond followers, with the majority of visibility coming from non-followers discovering the page for the first time. Engagement activity remained steady, link clicks increased throughout the campaign, and profile visits rose consistently, showing that the content encouraged viewers to learn more about the sale.
Facebook Performance
Facebook quickly became one of the strongest-performing channels for the campaign. The platform delivered significant reach, high content interaction, and a strong volume of link clicks that guided users directly to event information. Page visits grew at a fast pace, and the consistently high viewer numbers showed that the content circulated widely and maintained attention throughout the full activity window. The results reflected clear interest and strong alignment between the campaign messaging and what customers wanted to see in the lead-up to the sale.
TikTok Momentum
TikTok quickly became one of the strongest channels during the campaign. A standout spike in video views and shares helped push the event to a wider audience and generated significant interest. For a brand with no previous presence, TikTok delivered rapid awareness and contributed meaningfully to the campaign’s overall visibility.
Meta Ads Impact
Paid activity through Meta Ads played an essential role in driving visibility across the campaign. Ads ran until the final day of the sale and generated sustained awareness, steady traffic, and consistent link-click activity across both platforms. The ads helped accelerate audience growth, ensured the event remained top-of-mind during the promotional window, and significantly contributed to the strong weekend turnout and high sales performance.
Results That Delivered
The Sofa City Black Friday Liquidation Sale Weekend performed exceptionally well, with high sales and a strong turnout across the entire weekend. Awareness remained strong, interest stayed consistent, and the client noted a clear connection between the online campaign and the response at the Red Cow Moran Hotel. In only 14 days, Sofa City went from having no digital presence to running a successful event driven by a focused, high-performing short-term content strategy.
