INTRODUCTION: Crafting a Social Media Strategy Masterclass Video

Creating a social media strategy sounds challenging, but we are here to break it down for you - step by step!

We now know that social media is a vital marketing channel for businesses of all sizes. The common question a few years ago, “why should our business use social media?”, has been replaced with, “how can our business grow with social media marketing?”.

A social media strategy should serve to answer what role the various social media platforms should play in marketing your brand or service. This means addressing:

What social media platforms are most appropriate for the brand
What role each platform will play
What success will look like for each platform
How to determine how successful your social media is

LET'S GET STARTED & STEP 1: What's this masterclass all about and how to conduct a social media audit

Assess your social media presence in comparison to that of your competitors and your industry, identify gaps and a top-line health score.

STEP 2: Develop a Social Media Strategy

We show you how to merge:

Your brand's best self
Your audience's mindset
Your cultural context

To help inform your social media strategy. And then develop a target persona to help you better understand, and create content for, your audience.
