Case studies

Get Sociable

GetSociable launched in March 2023. A one-stop-shop platform for businesses in the hospitality, leisure, tourism, and creative industries, the app creates an aggregated interface for each user displaying what’s going on that day in their geographical area, along with personalisation functionality.

Businesses featured on the app get a direct route to their target market. They can maximise online engagement with their audience pre, during and post visit, through real time, engaging content which helps to increase footfall and sales.

During every Business Clinic project, a lead from the organisation works together with an industry-experienced Professor of Practice from Queen’s Business School to support the student consultancy team.

CEO Peter McCleery worked with Professor of Practice Julie McCandless, to help share his vision of GetSociable with the team. He provided face-to-face demonstrations of the platform so they could visualise what they were working with, and shared data and insights from the company’s initial burst of marketing activity.
