OUR EXPERIENCES
• W. Brett Wilson – motivational quotes were well-
received and saw huge spikes in engagement and
new followers. Developed a second set.
• Market Mall Carnimal – promoted Facebook posts
with images were shared a lot. Will always have
great visuals for paid ads in the future.
• ZGM – posts that showcase our own culture and/or
work have more engagement, so we highlight this as
much as possible.

Real life example. We worked with Brett & his team to launch his new book. ((Overall Marketing)) Lots of ways this was promoted – website, public relations, print ads, social media.
Shared these, and his audience loved them – shared and liked. For social media – we reviewed: > Brett’s demographics,What was currently popular online,What would work with the rest of the book’s and Brett’s brand?Developed social media quotes from key points in his book – available as desktop images, cover photos, sharable images. All available on a special page on his website (so we could also track downloads and analytics).

Here’s where you actually implement your plan and start your campaign!
First off, we understand you’re busy with your day-to-day job. As many of you probably know, social tools save a lot of time (in addition to providing awesome analytics).Can range from very cheap/free and limited, to more expensive but very powerful (especially for stats). Review, research and find the best one for your business.
Another thing to keep in mind, even though it’s “social media” you want your brand to look and sound polished.Big difference between good and bad writing and design.

From your content plan, you can use your tool to schedule in posts (and make your life easier).
Just because you’ve scheduled your posts doesn’t mean you can walk away.As a social media manager, you know what it’s like to be connected 24/7. Monitor what your customers are saying – respond back & engage. Monitor effectiveness as you go – using a tool you can see a snapshot of engagement on specific posts.Social media must be fluid!
Social media must be fluid. Conversations happen each minute and you should be a part of them. Things change fast and it’s true benefit is it’s immediacy.
Real life example. I manage ZGM social media in addition to by normal day-to-day work. Example of my day:8 to 8:30 – review Reader (soon to be Feed.ly)8:30 to 9 – schedule in postsDO other work!Throughout the day, Sprout is always open – checking messages and responses and engaging back3 to 3:30 – review more blogs to stay in the know, review stats for the day4 – post photos of staff event on-the-flyIn the evening, I’m still logged in, checking clients and ZGM in-between things

When your campaign is complete – it’s important to have a post-mortem to review how everything stacked up against your original objectives and goals.
Use your social media tool to pull reports – engagement, new followers, etc – across your campaign dates. Notice any trends?Anything correlate to other marketing efforts during that time period?Compare against your original goals.
What would do different next time? New technologies? New platforms? Expand on something? Pull resources out of something?Beauty of online and social is you can modify and improve – online stats help us measure our effectiveness (unlike most traditional marketing).Not sure what we said we could use as an example on this one? Our notes aren’t making sense to me on this one hahaha.
We’ve covered a lot of info and examples.
But remember the four steps to a social media campaign (or even a plan). FIRST is to SCAN What’s being said about your brand? What’s being done in the industry? What’s trending?SECOND is to PLAN What do you want to achieve?Who are you talking to?How does this relate to your overall marketing plan/strategy?How will your message be communicated across all touch points?THIRD is to EXECUTEWrite and schedule posts on various social media channels. Continue to monitor and engage on an ongoing basis.Look at stats on a regular basis in case there is a great opportunity.LAST is to REVIEW, REVISE & REPEATReview stats and compare against your objectives. Learn from it – what worked well? What could be better?Do it all over again – use this knowledge to always improve.
