Social Media Management & Graphic Design | Warwick Doha Hotel

Revamped the social media presence of a luxury hotel, leading to a 27% increase in followers from July 2022 to August 2024. 🚀📈 Created and executed designs and content according to the hotel's specific requests, ensuring a balance between creative input and management preferences.

The hotel had been without a dedicated marketing department since 2019. I started working with them in July 2022. The hotel wanted to focus on increasing brand awareness, driving engagement, generating leads, and improving customer service on Facebook and Instagram. They specifically sought to emphasize posts, stories, and videos.

Designed visually appealing social media content tailored to the hotel’s brand and audience.

Managed the scheduling of posts and overall social media operations across platforms.

Post Scheduling & Operations: Managed the scheduling of posts and overall social media operations for both Facebook and Instagram.

Advertising Campaigns: Handled targeted advertising campaigns to boost posts and increase reach on both platforms.

An average of 3-5 posts per week. The schedule varied due to the hotel occasionally providing urgent and unplanned offers to post.

The content centered around promoting hotel offers, including rooms, F&B, spa, gym, and pool services. Additionally, we highlighted community service initiatives such as cloth donations, No Plastic Day, and food drives during Qatar's Sustainability Week.

The content was crafted with a formal tone to align with the luxury brand while maintaining a friendly approach to connect with customers. One challenge was the absence of the brand's color palette and fonts at the start, which made maintaining brand identity difficult. However, once provided, the brand's colors, official logo, and fonts were consistently implemented.

All content was closely supervised by the hotel's management. Designs and content were reviewed daily, with adjustments made based on feedback before posting.

These results aligned with the client’s objectives of boosting brand awareness, driving engagement, and increasing leads. Over the course of the partnership, the hotel's social media presence grew exponentially, fulfilling their goals of improved customer service and greater community involvement through platforms like Facebook and Instagram.

The variations in data across reach, interactions, and other metrics are primarily due to budget constraints that limited access to professional photography and videography. This restriction impacted the frequency and quality of posts, which in turn affected engagement and reach. Despite these challenges, efforts were consistently made to produce high-quality content within the available resources and to adapt strategies to maintain and grow the hotel’s social media presence.

A monthly budget of QAR 3000 (~$800), with some months exceeding this amount during holidays (e.g., Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, New Year, Christmas).

Primarily local Qatar residents, with some campaigns targeting GCC countries (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, Bahrain, Kuwait).
