Case Study: JBL’s Brand
Positioning with Instagram
& TikTok

JBL BoomBox

JBL is a renowned brand specializing in audio equipment. It is known for its high-quality and wide consumer product range, from PartyBox and karaoke speakers to portable Bluetooth speakers.

We’ve been part of JBL’s digital journey in Serbia since 2014, growing their online presence through performance marketing and eCommerce. This is how we made it happen.

Primary Goals
of Social Media
Campaigns & Brand Positioning
within Official Dealers:

Trag guma

Increasing brand awareness and product USPs

Boosting reach and in-store/online availability

Community growth on official Instagram and TikTok

Tracking Engagement & Video Hook Rates

Creating Custom Video Content: Reels & TikToks

Note: As an agency, we were present with a growing multibrand online store on Social Media (Facebook and Instagram) from 2014 as a PPC marketing partner working on conversion campaigns and developing avlshop.rs, the online shop of an official distributor of the JBL Consumer product range in Serbia.

As of 2020, after thoroughly tracking market and wholesale channels and seeing the potential for even better growth, we proposed separating brands and choosing the globally renowned JBL brand to develop further.

Decision to Manage a Brand with Global Reach

A heads-up regarding focusing on brand positioning was knowing that JBL is a reputable global brand with a significant presence in the audio consumer market. Through the years, it partnered with various artists, athletes, and events to promote its products. The brand's endorsement deals and collaborations help enhance its visibility and appeal across different demographics.

Starting with a particular small audio community as a dealership multibrand Instagram account, we ended up with focus only on JBL brand.

Meta Ads Switch Strategy:

    Focusing on understanding critical learnings in the summary of why we've reached the limit in the overall growth of the webshop and recognize the brand while other businesses flourished during COVID-19.

  • Learning about worldwide strategies:

    Instagram Followers Increase

  • 1.1 M

    Meta Ads Reach

  • 560 %

    Reel Plays Increase

  • 1.6 M

    TikTok Video Views

  • The most significant change in 2023 compared to the previous years was our absolute focus on video content creation and communication of the dealership network in three market in the Balkans increased.

    Due to extensive marketing activities working on brand awareness, organic sales growth, expansion of target groups, and increase of best-selling products were primarily due to this continuous impact. In addition, market share, which is very important for market positioning, also increased.

Logic behind:

Before all this could work, we needed to:

  • Constantly communicate the authenticity of the JBL Product Range
  • Technically define the appropriate Community MGMT and connect with the dealership network regarding product availability status
  • Structure each monthly or always-on campaign upon the entry and quantity of goods
  • Plan and cover the seasonalities

This allowed us an authentic approach to staying in the learning phase as long as possible to achieve high-performing Ad Sets, coordinate our goals, and optimize performance by finding users closer to engagement, learning from those who did, and analyzing their signals through DMs, comments, and sharing the content.
