[CLIENT] social platforms are maintaining consistent results. However, there are a
couple areas of improvement.

To address these concerns, Dodge proposes the following to increase followers,
drive engagement and further content reach.
o Development of proactive and timely posts
o Creation of customized social media images to increase engagement
o Continuous cadence of paid content
20. Results
With the proposed changes, Dodge is expecting an increase in engagement, followers and
reach. Dodge will measure this based on previous performance measurements. By the end of
Q2, the below posts should show the following results:
o Proactive Posts:
o 5% increase of organic reach and engagement on overall 2016 Q2 performance
compared to previous quarters.
o Image Cards:
o With all images combined, see an increased average post reach by 20% and average
engagement by 30% compared to other posts.
o Paid Facebook Content:
o Reach 300 likes on Facebook.
o Increase overall engagement by 15% and reach by 20% in 2016 Q2.
o Overall Growth:
o All “growth since last report” in every category affected by this campaign should
maintain at least 8% growth each month.
21. Hours reallocation
With the proposed changes, it will require a slight shift in hours to the account. The charts
below reveal where the hours would shift and how it will impact the overall retainer. The
chart on the left shows the current retainer breakdown and the chart to the right expands on
the hours needed to achieve this pivot. This does not include the additional $100 buy in for
paid promoted posts.
