NEX Renews Social Media Contract With KRDS Singapore

Published on 28 Feb '19

NEX is one of the largest malls in the North-East region of Singapore. This 7-storey mall is positioned to be the vibrant, social and recreational hub for the North-East community. NEX has placed the responsibility of handling its social media presence to KRDS Singapore for the second year in a row.

The goals for 2018 was to generate brand awareness and create a unique identity for the mall on Facebook and Instagram. KRDS Singapore was able to achieve that by leveraging trending and topical content and collaborating with influencers like Dee Kosh and Preetipls. Posts created around the Trump-Kim Summit and Ariana Grande’s famous song Thank You, Next became instantly popular amongst the users on social. The Trump-Kim post garnered a reach of 318k. As a result, the mall was able to successfully grow its page fan base by 18% with minimal Ads.

In 2019, the agency will focus more on customizing content for Instagram and creating more innovative Instagram Stories. The agency will also be exploring fun ways to engage the NEX users and non-users alike with more creative collaborations
