Problem: Not enough time to engage fans

The National Hockey League’s New Jersey Devils drives fan engagement on social media during live games and engages their large Instagram audience with curated content. However...

  1. Spam bots inundate brand feed: Each time they posted, their brand feed was plagued with 300+ spam comments per game.

  2. Fans are exposed to scams: Fans were getting annoyed by crypto and porn scams each time the Devils posted.

  3. More moderation = less time with fans: Content managers spent time deleting spam, instead of posting and engaging with fans.


Solution: Autodelete crypto & porn scams

The Devils’ content team turned to Areto, the social media moderation management tool that automates tasks like finding and removing spam, hate speech and harassment in real-time and at scale. The team at Areto fine-tuned the feature for the Devils’ specific problem: crypto scams and porn bots.
