Case Study: Dick Broadcasting Solves Holiday Blackout with a TikTok Breakthrough and 24/7 On Brand Posting

Dick Broadcasting Solves Holiday Blackout with a TikTok Breakthrough and 24/7 On-Brand Posting

The Challenge: Feeding the TikTok Beast with Limited Resources

Beth Garver, the Social Media Coordinator at Dick Broadcasting’s Greenville, NC cluster (WRNS), manages digital content for two stations, each with its own voice and audience. 

TikTok’s algorithm rewards consistency to stay relevant, but creating daily short-form videos that connect with diverse audiences for two different formats required hours of curation, scripting, and editing that her lean digital team didn’t have.

The challenge grew harder during holiday periods when staff availability declined. Traditional “dark days” meant losing valuable momentum on a platform where absence kills engagement. 

Beth needed a way to post trend-driven videos every day, even when the office was empty, and still keep each station’s tone and voice intact.

The Solution: TopicPulse’s Instant Video Agentic AI …That Never Takes a Holiday

Beth “hired” TopicPulse® Instant Video to her team. It’s an always‑on, AI-powered content producer that:

  • Spots what her audience will care about next.
  • Builds fully branded videos in seconds.
  • Posts and pushes them across digital platforms.

Beth and her team achieved this with no extra headcount and no missed trends, thanks to a tireless digital producer that works nights, weekends, and during PTO.

The Results: More Content, Less Stress, Zero Blackouts

Goal Agentic AI Impact
Stay active through July 4th blackout  100% posting cadence with zero dark days
Deliver scroll‑stopping topics  Viral‑ready clips on Kane Brown’s film debut & Miley Cyrus’ Walk‑of‑Fame news drove saves, shares, and comments fast
Grow followers, not workload  WRNS picked up new TikTok followers within 48 hours. Beth spent minutes, not hours, on each video.

 

“I love being able to create content for the stations that is push-button yet modifiable. It’s a great filler tool for the constant stream of content we’re required to pump out in today’s fast-paced world. I look forward to using this program every day!” — Beth Garver, Social Media Coordinator, Dick Broadcasting Company

Why It Matters: Creators Focus on Strategy, AI Handles the Grind

Beth still decides what goes out, but now she doesn’t waste time editing, captioning, or scrambling to find a trending angle.

  • Never miss a moment: Predictive trend‑spotting means you post before the story peaks.
  • Hire, not fire: Instant Video adds productive hours without increasing payroll.
  • Brand‑safe by design: With just a few clicks, your fonts, colors, and logos lock in with no off‑brand surprises.

The solution allows human creators to concentrate on community interaction and strategic planning, while AI takes care of the time-consuming production tasks. This isn’t about replacing creativity; it’s about enhancing it.

The Competitive Edge: Always-On Content Strategy

Social media doesn’t stop. Neither does this. By eliminating the traditional trade-off between quality and quantity, TopicPulse Instant Video enables stations to maintain their unique brand voices while meeting the relentless demand for fresh, engaging short-form video content that social platforms require.
