A few weeks before its annual Humanities Awards, The Humanities Council of Washington DC hired eSocialMediaShop to help boost ticket sales.

The 2011 honorees represent some of the best creative and cultural work happenning today in the District, and we were excited to help bring attention to the event.

We got to work on a plan to boost ticket sales with a combination of email, social media, and social PR. The results were great: a 500% jump in ticket sales in the two weeks leading up to the event, with excellent engagement in social media.
