Social Media Management
Pembroke Gun Range is one of Florida’s longest standing gun ranges. They have been in business for over 50 years and are very well known throughout the entire state. Pembroke has built a brand that firearm enthusiasts gravitate towards, and over the years they have built a strong following and online presence.

Key Note:
Due to the nature of Pembroke Gun Range’s industry, paid advertising is not an option that can be implemented into their campaign. These platforms do not allow the paid promotion of anything related to firearms.
Initial Take Aways:
The first thing we noticed was the lack of quality in the posts that were uploaded onto the feed. There were many pixelated, out-dated, low-quality images and videos. We then noticed that people were engaging, however no-one at the range had time to respond all of the messages and comments.
