The Increasing Importance of Social Media:

•. Plan social content in advance
The Increasing Importance of Social Media:
•. Leverage analytics to optimize content
– Use social analytics to understand what content drives the highest engagement with audiences
•. Leverage the tactic to extend reach of special events
– Use event hashtags and participate in live conversation
– Share pictures to engage audiences that cannot be present
Making it work for you
• Develop a mix that will fit your business model and strategy.
• Focus on what you can realistically manage with your available resources.
• Realize there may not be a hard ROI on some of your efforts, finding the right metrics for measurement is a challenge.
• Address and reach today’s stakeholders and decision makers with more traditional tactics.
• Realize the next generation of decision makers is likely more digitally engaged in social media. This is an evolution.
• Not B2B or B2C but B2P, “Business to People” marketing - touch your stakeholders where they are.
