Social Media Strategy

The strategic study of how your brand should use social media.

The Social Media Strategy is the strategic study that determines how your brand should use social media to build awareness, credibility, community and commercial opportunities. It is not a posting calendar nor a template collection.

It answers questions like
  • • Which networks should the brand be on?
  • • What role will each network play?
  • • Which audience should it speak to on each channel?
  • • Which objectives should it pursue?
  • • What content types should it produce?
  • • Which topics should it own?
  • • How often should it publish?
  • • Which formats should it prioritize?
  • • How should it turn attention into action?
  • • How should results be measured?
