Social Media Marketing – Sterling Kilgore

HARNESS THE POWER OF SOCIAL MEDIA

We know that now–more than ever–it is important for companies to engage their customers in the online conversation and respond in real-time to their needs. Through social media, customers are looking for direct access to, and valuable information from, the companies with which they choose to do business.

Build your community

One of the most critical parts of a social media program is growing a following. However, a strong community does not necessarily mean a large community. It means finding the people whose goals and interests align with your company. How we do it:

Consistent posting | Influencer relations | Customer engagement | Identifying advocates | Live event coverage

Optimize your earned, owned and paid content

It’s important to analyze shared content on a weekly basis for engagement and to optimize accordingly based on popularity. From there, we are able to determine what types of content resonate and establish an engagement baseline. How we do it:

Amplify company news | Promote owned content | Curate and share third-party content | Social campaigns | Sponsored posts

Monitor your brand

Social media is not just about broadcasting your message, it’s also about listening. It is critical to keep tabs on what is being said about company reputation, products and services, the overall industry and competitors. How we do it:

Social listening tools | Platform monitoring | Customer service support | Industry analysis | Competitor audits

Measure your results

The great thing about social media is that your community tells you what works and what doesn’t. Therefore, analyzing results is essential to the ongoing success of your social media marketing program. How we do it:

Establish benchmarks | Determine KPIs | Analyze social data | Share of voice | Monthly/quarterly reporting

But don’t just take our word for it
