SUMMARY • Outreach efforts for IHOP were extremely successful on all fronts as a result of blogger outreach, and we are very happy with the final results. This is by far one of the most active and engaging campaigns American Pop has ever had the pleasure of working on. Overall, we created a total of 11,929 posts across all channels, earning 26MM+ impressions and 8,967 engagements (Likes/Comments). • Throughout the campaign, we reached 804 unique individuals with messaging surrounding IHOP’s new Griddle Melts, resulting in 160 unique respondents. The majority of response sentiment was incredibly enthusiastic, with 74% of total respondents expressing interest in learning more (see page 7). • Twitter held the most placement (98%) as well as the most impressions (83%), primarily resulting from contest entries in the form of tweets. • Parents were most responsive to outreach, accounting for 53% of all blog coverage. Many bloggers within this target were eager to photo document mealtime with their families as well. • Gift cards proved to be successful in generating large amounts of engagement, with many giveaways prompting entrants to share about their favorite Griddle Melt. We also exceeded the number of participants we projected to reach for this campaign, which is indicative of the great incentives provided. • American Pop has built a rapport with participating bloggers across a variety of relevant targets, many of whom have expressed interest in working with us again as new initiatives roll out. This provides us with the opportunity to maximize online exposure for the brand by leveraging these relationships as new promotions are introduced.

These Griddle Melts sound tasty and my family always loves IHOP, so we'd be happy to participate in a review (and giveaway, if possible) to help spread the word! • Girlichef (3K UVPM): • It's funny you should ask, because I've been eyeballing those sandwiches when I see the commercials, thinking how good they look! I'd love to sample and put up a post featuring the sandwiches. • Three Different Directions (3K UVPM): • Thanks so much for contacting me - we'd be delighted to participate. IHOP is one of our favorite places to go as I LOVE Pancakes (as you might notice on my blog LOL). Of course the Griddle Melts are sure to be good as well! • Neutral • Love Veggies and Yoga (40K UVPM): • Thanks for reaching out and feel free to send a gift card, no strings attached. I do not promise blog posts or reviews for 'samples', gift cards, or for things sent to me due to the volume of what I receive. • The Bragging Mommy (3K UVPM): • What value will the IHOP gift card be for? • Decline • Saving with Shellie (20K UVPM): • Thanks for thinking of me but my editorial calendar is full this month. Please let me know if you have any additional opportunities in the future. • I Am That Lady (13K UVPM): • Thanks so much for reaching out to me - I unfortunately eat gluten free and so does most of my family (trust me...I would rather eat a griddle melt)..... So I will not be able to help out with this campaign.
