How to combine both a strategic and practical approach to social media?
Any social media strategy is an integral part of all communication strategy and therefore needs to be embedded in any global strategy of development.
Each organisation needs to set social media goals that support its broader objectives as an organisation. They also need to consider how they represent their brand in social channels and demonstrates their brand purpose.
To align your social media strategy with your overarching organisational development strategy, you need to answer some crucial questions:
- Who your core audience is?
- where they engage in social media?
- how and what they use it for?
- and how social media is integrated into their working journey as well as how you might fit into it as a brand?
With social media, you can ensure that your brand has a presence precisely where your audience spends a part of their time.
Social media enables a brand to get closer to its audience by providing unique and essential insights into their behaviour, their views, and how they feel about you.
By using sophisticated and accurate targeting techniques, you can ensure that your brand is seen by its stakeholders.
When acting on a Social Media campaign, you connect with your viewers through a follow, comment, or like but, also on a deeper level through posting key-facts that familiarise your readers about the reasoning behind your messages.
By consistently sharing the same messages across your campaign without being redundant, your followers will assimilate what you stand for.
