A Social Media Strategy does not have to be fancy. In fact, our social media strategy is very consistent with our culture and values – be cost effective, keep it authentic, use the tools properly and don’t be afraid to do it yourself.
When it comes to your Social Media Strategy, we believe in authentic passion over promotion. By focusing on the passion for your audience first, and not the strict promotion of your products, your passion in effect becomes your promotion. This will drive engagement and results.
What is Social Media?
Social Media is a platform-driven, “content” (text, video, audio, images) oriented method of driving word-of-mouth and dynamic relationships at scale. The sharing of content enables deeper connections and bridges geographical constraints. It basically makes people and companies more approachable and accessible.
Why is Social Media important?
Social Media has changed the way people and companies interact with one another. Social Media sites like Facebook enable relationship development at scale by making connections through the sharing of “content.”
Facebook (an $18bn company) also has changed the way people use the Internet. When is the last time you heard someone say, “surf the web?” You probably haven’t. Facebook and its peer-set are now the on-ramp to Internet. With the addition of mobile technology, we’re “ALWAYS ON.”
