SOCIAL MEDIA

Building social ecosystems that connect brands and people through shared interactions.

OUR POV

The ability to reach consumers at every stage of their journeys has helped social media marketing become the most powerful factor in their purchasing decisions. Social has accelerated the speed of culture, and your brand’s ability to keep pace in this environment is central to its long-term success. That’s why we use data and insights to drive the quality of the content we create and the efficacy of the messages we craft. With this as our basis, we are able to forge memorable emotional connections that amplify results across earned, owned and paid channels.

INSIGHTS & DISCOVERY: EXAMINING BRAND CULTURE

What are consumers saying? What resonates with them? Who do they admire in this space? Our process begins with an investigation into your brand’s historical conversation trends and an analysis of content performance to date. Armed with this data, we are able to form category insights and an understanding of your brand’s consumer culture. We examine these findings in relation to influential voices in the surrounding culture, along with studying search intent and consumer behavior.

Based on all of these findings, we generate an assignment brief that outlines the purpose, direction, and business challenges to be solved. This brief will drive the development of social media marketing strategy, channel specific plans, and paid media support.

OUR PROCESS

STRATEGIC PLANNING: DEVELOPING THE BIG IDEA

The insights and discovery guide us as we craft The Big Idea – a single unifying theme that will be the foundation for all programs and campaigns across owned, earned and paid channels. This primary theme allows us to develop your brand’s character and tone of voice, while outlining how to best activate it on each social platform. We will also map out your brand’s media amplification plan, determining whose influence it will seek to leverage, which consumers can be enlisted as advocates, and which audiences are ripe for targeting through paid media.

OUR PROCESS

CREATIVE DEVELOPMENT: BRINGING THE CAMPAIGN TO LIFE

With The Big Idea firmly established, we now look to stretch across all possible touch points to maximize its impact. Campaign plans and strategy will provide an overview for editorial communications, and a defined content production schedule for generating compelling communications on a day-to-day basis will be outlined, along with launch timing and dependencies.

ONGOING IMPLEMENTATION: ACTIVATION AND BEYOND

Next, we begin implementing the agenda laid out in our plan –producing and reviewing content, shooting video, reaching out to influencers, establishing community management, and pursuing paid social amplification. Our creative team begins to develop content for specific audiences, based upon specific behaviors and trends, for specific social platforms.

As our pipeline fills, we begin to build and train a social organization and launch content distribution. The result is a holistic social presence that maximizes your brand’s relationship with its consumers and fans.
