Social Media Marketing

In today’s always-plugged-in world, including social media in your marketing strategy is a must.

Understanding where current customers, and ones you’d like to attract, are spending their time can help you make more meaningful connections by offering solutions to the challenges they seek to solve. We’ll work with you to build a comprehensive approach to social media based on your goals and where you want to be.

Knowing the right platforms to appear on is an important part of a social media marketing strategy. Creating content that will resonate with the audience on that platform is another piece. We can help you create a plan that combines the two to boost both awareness and sales of your products and services.

Social media is also where customers go for social proof. Each review, comment, and company post helps them to form an opinion of your brand. This opinion influences your audiences’ choice when making purchasing decisions. Whether it’s their first touchpoint with your company or they are a follower of your social channels, we can help you manage the perception of your brand through a strong social presence and positive conversations.

Before we begin building a social media strategy, we take the time to understand our clients’ specific needs and goals in order to create a tailored approach. Through discovery sessions, audits, competitive review, and industry research, our experts create a strategy to make sure your most important messages are being communicated to the right audiences on the right channels.

After a social media strategy is up and running, it’s important to keep an eye not only on how it’s performing but also the conversations going on around what you’re posting. Together, we can develop a game plan for flagging and responding to comments that’s based on best practices and what you’re trying to accomplish.
