Building Visit Rehoboth's Brand Through Viral Social Media & Consistency

How Crew Media Co. Grew a Delaware Tourism Account From 7K to 40K Followers and Drove Advertising Value

Tourism brands sell experiences. To succeed, they need consistent visibility, a recognizable voice, and an engaged audience that businesses want access to.

From June 2023 through September 2025, Crew Media Co. served as the social media managers for Visit Rehoboth, helping transform the brand into a high-performing digital destination guide. Through strategic content, viral video creation, and consistent storytelling, we grew the account from 7,000 followers to over 40,000 in roughly one year, while maintaining strong engagement and positioning the platform as a valuable advertising channel.

The Challenge: Turning a Local Tourism Account Into a Scalable Media Brand

Visit Rehoboth had a clear opportunity. Rehoboth Beach is a high-interest destination with constant seasonal demand, but the brand needed to evolve beyond basic event posts and static recommendations.

The challenge was to:

• Rapidly grow a relevant and engaged audience

• Stand out in a crowded tourism and lifestyle content space

• Create consistent engagement, not one-off viral moments

• Build a platform attractive to local advertisers and partners

• Maintain brand trust while scaling reach

Visit Rehoboth needed to function not just as a social account, but as a media brand.

Our Approach: Strategy First, Virality Second

As a Delaware social media management team, we focused on building a repeatable content system that allowed growth to be sustained over time.

1. Developing a Clear Brand Voice

We refined Visit Rehoboth’s voice to feel:

• Local, but inclusive

• Informative, but entertaining

• Trustworthy, but not overly promotional

This clarity allowed audiences to quickly understand what the account offered and why they should follow.

2. Creating Short-Form Video Designed for Discovery

Short-form video was the primary growth driver. We produced consistent Reels and videos focused on:

• Things to do in Rehoboth Beach

• Seasonal recommendations and hidden gems that supported website blogs

• Food, events, and local experiences

• Timely trends adapted to a Rehoboth-specific audience

Several videos reached viral status, significantly accelerating follower growth while introducing the brand to new audiences organically.

3. Consistency Over One-Off Wins

Rather than relying on occasional spikes, we prioritized consistent engagement across posts. Our strategy ensured that even non-viral content performed reliably, reinforcing trust with both followers and advertisers. This consistency helped stabilize growth and made performance predictable.

The Results: Audience Growth That Drove Real Value

Over the course of our partnership:

• The account grew from 7,000 followers to over 40,000

• Growth occurred within roughly one year, with continued momentum afterward

• Posts consistently generated engagement across formats

• Multiple viral videos expanded reach well beyond the local audience

Most importantly, this growth positioned Visit Rehoboth as a high-value advertising

platform for local businesses.

Turning Attention Into Advertising Opportunity

As the audience grew, Visit Rehoboth became increasingly attractive to:

• Restaurants and bars

• Retailers

• Event organizers

• Tourism-related businesses

Social proof, consistent reach, and strong engagement made ad placements feel valuable and credible. This is where social media transitioned from marketing expense to revenue driver.
