With a 10,000-seat Arena, plush hotel, jaw-dropping architectural features and one of the largest gaming floors in the world, Mohegan Sun is Full of Life -- it's a 24/7 bustling hub of guests and activity, and as such, the building itself embodies a life of its own.
Our goal is to make our Facebook page a portal to all that Full of Life entails: the millions of life's moments experienced here daily, the visually stunning property itself and the larger than life personalities who visit us regularly.
As an online extension of the expansive property featuring over 85 shops, restaurants and bars, three concert venues, spa, hotel, golf course and casino, Mohegan Sun seeks to drive passionate loyalty and extended brand awareness in a space where users' most treasured life moments and milestones are curated.
How does a brand survive (and thrive!) in a sea full of laughing babies, cat videos, birthday celebrations and heated political discussions?
By being engaging.
Our strategy lies in publishing only the most highly visual and engaging brand-relevant content which generates an inherent emotional response that not only compels guests to interact, but also builds excitement over planning future trips.
It's the physical feeling of..
seeing a stunning image of a favorite place, and the memories that come flooding in with it...
the happiness of re-living best moments with best friends over photos and video...
the excitement of seeing someone win a life-changing six-figure jackpot, and daydreaming about what that would be like...
the pride in seeing your favorite celebrities killing it on stage or visiting the same restaurants that you know and love...
Images that cross the boundary through the screen to incite an emotion become engaging pieces of content that are the foundation for Mohegan Sun's Facebook strategy.
We are building a community on Facebook where visitors connect, interact, discover and re-live shared experiences, while building excitement over the experiences they look forward to having in the future.
By focusing on insights and analytics, Mohegan Sun strives to publish only the content that is most motivating to our fan base, encouraging an authentic audience grown steadily over time and providing stronger and longer lasting connections with our guests.
Mohegan Sun's Facebook page allows guests the ability to interact over their experiences and conveys the genuine feeling of being on the expansive property and experiencing the moments that happen within it.
