Guiding Principles for Social Media Leaders
Build a strategy that is social by design.
• Facebook should be integrated into your marketing efforts
on the front end, not an afterthought.
Create an authentic brand voice – be straightforward.
Make it interactive – have 2-way conversations about what
you do. Seek feedback.
Nurture your relationships -- this is a long-term investment.
Keep learning – utilize analytics.
