7/28/2019 50 Tried and True Social Insights From Marketers
2/10
In 2012, Marketo embarked on our Social Marketing Rockstar Tour
where we visited 15 cities across the nation to talk about implementing,
executing, and measuring social strategy. We met marketing interns all
the way up the ladder to CEOs, spoke to marketers rom every industry,
and networked with both large companies o 10,000+ employees and
small companies o 10. The common denominator? An intense interest
in social media and a desire to learn how to use it more holistically in
every marketing campaign.
Every organization uses social in a dierent way. At each stop on the
tour we collected insights rom over 2000 customer attendees on how
they are using social in their marketing today, plus any tips and lessons
that they have learned along the way. We have gone through each entry
and have compiled the best o the best!

More is not necessarily better.Post things that are relevant,useul, and thoughtul ratherthan just lots o posts.
When someone posts on asocial channel, you need to tryand immediately respond. Dont
all victim to poor listening.
Lessons learned: not linking oursocial platorms together and beingtoo sel-ocused. Also, you needto provide relevant content totarget audiences.
