Once you have identified key trends and topics combine them with key launches and communication to support the priorities for

Add the goals your organization is already focused on, then add the goals that are
specific to social media that align with those business objectives. Lastly, pair
metrics with these goals to understand if your organization has achieved them or not.
Business Goals Social Media Goals Corresponding Metrics
Thought Leadership Content Engagement Mentions by Influencers
Audience Development Follower Growth Total Followers
24. Think about the customers your
company serves.
How would you organize them into
different
segments to better understand their
unique needs and challenges?
With these customers in mind, choose
a name to describe each segment
that’s easy to remember and quickly
identifies them.
2. Define Your Audience Set
Before creating detailed customer personas to define who your customers are,
answer the following questions about the people you’re trying to reach:
25. Topic Category Brief Description
3. Crafting Engaging Messaging
Choose three to five categories of topics to direct what themes you’ll consistently
address on social media.
Each topic you’re focused on must be engaging, relevant, and complementary.
26. Social Network
Primary Purpose
Secondary Purpose
Content Types
Publishing Frequency
4. Invest in a Smart Mix Channel
Being active on a mix of marketing channels is important for reaching your customers
at different touchpoints and for investing in a range of opportunities to earn attention.
Identify which social networks your organization will invest in by defining the primary
and secondary purpose for being active there, list what content types you’ll share per
network, and estimate how often you’ll publish on each network.
27. 5. Building and Maintaining a Community
A community on social media is a group or account run by your organization where
people can connect over a common interest to share perspectives, discuss a topic,
and support each other.
The goal of fostering a community on social media is to encourage conversation,
build trust, and improve loyalty amongst your existing audience.
Define three ways your organization will encourage customers to participate on social
media, whether that’s starting a LinkedIn group, highlighting feedback from
community members, or another method.

Status by Association - How does it make people look to talk about a product or idea?
a sense of pride
Ice Bucket Challenge
the feeling of doing
something for a cause
71. Make people look good by:
- Find inner remarkability: desire for social approval; something
interesting/surprising; breaking a pattern
- Leverage game mechanics: performance in relation to others (i.e.
frequent flier program; flappy bird, temple run, mystery manila)
- Make people feel like insiders: used scarcity and exclusivity (i.e.
Twister Fries)
SOCIALCURRENCY
We share things that make us look good.
74. TRIGGERS
● Queues in the environment make people more likely to think and share.
● Top of mind means tip of tongue
● Consider the context
● Grow your habitat
Cheerios
Morning Breakfast
Beaches Corona beer Coffee Break KitKat
75.
76. Advocacy that sells its product Supported by Influencers Strengthens the Equity of the Brand
83. Social Currency is the frontman/woman,
Triggers could be the drummer/bassist
Social Currency gets people talking,
but Triggers keep them talking.
The more something is triggered,
the more it will be top of mind,
and the more successful it will become.
102. STORIES
Narratives are inherently more
engrossing than basic facts.
They have a beginning,
middle, and end. If people get
sucked in early, they’ll stay for
the conclusion. And so, all
stories are trojan horses
carrying information inside -

127. What makes it powerful?
Suspense
The “can’t miss” factor is
enhanced by the “anything
can happen” element,
making live-content
extremely compelling.
The suspense is a potent
motivator that makes even
the most ordinary content
become more interesting.
Instantaneousness
Psychology explains humans
are hardwired to “seek”
information and rewards. Live
videos follow this gratification
journey with instant sharing,
consuming, and interaction.
The possibility of connecting
and getting a prompt
feedback is very attractive.
Sense of Belonging
When people think they’re
missing something, they
act. Live content can either
offer a replacement when
they can’t experience in
person – or create this
belonging feeling that
motivates users to join
a broadcasting.
