Content

All social channels require content: It is the type of content and its tone that is the differentiator.

Content can make people: cry / laugh / trust you / hate you / buy from you / buy from someone else / report you…

There are no concrete rules. Content is subjective.

Think about Rihanna’s bum!

Content draws emotion – as a social media & content marketing agency, our aim is to shape that emotion.

The ‘what you YOU want’ theory

@SimonJenkins09@RedRocketMedia

Incredibly engaged fan base across Twitter > Facebook > Google+

However, people are very opinionated about their dogs and thus the content

Some content was receiving negative engagement (pictures > how to > tips)

To overcome the issue, we turned our content strategy on its head
