We’re going to help you figure out:
The Social Media Landscape
The number of users of social media is growing year after year, with research showing that there were 3,196 billion social users in 2018. The social media landscape is continually evolving, with new trends emerging each year through a gradual process of building on past successes.
In 2018, there was a surge in user-generated content, where brands encouraged their audiences and consumers to use specific hashtags to make their photos searchable, with the possibility of that brand republishing their material. Other trends, such as the take-off of influencer marketing, increased reality being integrated into social media platforms, as well as small businesses, grow their social media presence. So we will explain what’s in store for the social media landscape in the next twelve months?
Here’s what we’ve already predicted:
- A view of the current marketplace
- Latest trends and developments
- Current challenges and issues
- Understanding the network economy
- Case studies – good and bad examples
Social Media Campaign Planning
A social media strategy defines how your company will use social media to achieve its communication objectives and the platform and tools it will apply to accomplish this. At the basic level, it is a simple statement of intent, outlining the goals and measurable objectives for the use of social media, and the target outcomes that you want to achieve. It does this in the context of the overall business plan and the comms plan so that social media is not in a silo but works in parallel with other channels. Without a clear strategy, how do you prioritise activities for a plan? Think of strategy first, plan second.
We will cover:
- Creating social media objectives and KPI’s
- Developing a social media ROI model
- Using the SWOT model for social media planning
- Planning with the SOSTAC framework
- Understanding the competitor landscape
- Monitoring social media success with baselines
- Converting strategy into tactics
Legal Guidelines
Staying within the law can be a real challenge for most businesses when using social media, mainly because legislation and the amount of it can be so overwhelming. Most legal issues, however, have often occurred on social media due to small and simple accidents.
Brands should establish a process of curing user-generated content and obtain the rights and legal permissions necessary for users to avoid infringement. The use of imagery by a brand has several associated legal ramifications and rights such as image and media ownership–we’ll look at the best practices around this to make your mind feel comfortable.
- Ethics – the laws behind Social Media
- Legal best practices
Audiences For Social Media
You need an audience to get social media marketing to work. Unfortunately, growing audiences are also one of the most challenging tasks for businesses. Not only are you competing with other brands for the attention of your audience, but you’re also up against the content of their friends and family.
However, don’t worry, there’s still hope. We’ve compiled a list of our top articles to help you grow your audience across all major social networks. It may not happen overnight, but with the help of this guide, you’re going to be well on your way to building an active and engaged audience.
The first step towards creating an audience on social media is to figure out whom you want to target and what that audience is for your business. Is your brand a target audience on Twitter, Pinterest, Facebook or Instagram? This session gives you a look at the demographics of the social media of each network.
- Understanding customer behaviours and drivers
- Techniques to learn about customer needs
- Audience profiling
- Conversations through Social Media – how to create a dialogue
- How to drive word of mouth
- Cultivating relationships and building trust through Social Media
Social Media Content
- The customer journey: integrating channels
- Developing an awareness ladder
- Creating a content plan and calendar
- Understanding popularity versus influence
- How and why content “goes viral”
Measurement And Monitoring
Measuring your social media activities will tell you which marketing elements are a roaring success, which aren’t, and which need some clear improvement. The problem is that it’s hard to establish the right metrics to follow. Follower growth and the number of likes are considered vanity metrics by many brands today.
Your management team won’t be impressed by the number of emoji comments or hearts under your latest Instagram post. Your SMT is more likely to be interested in ROI on social media and increased awareness of the brand as a whole.
Thankfully, there are ways to present cohesive and informative measurements of your social media activities, that will show the significance of running a social media campaign and clearly state a social media ROI. In this session, we will look at the following:
- Official and unofficial – what people are saying about your brand in the Social Media space
- Analysis techniques and tools
- Interpreting the results
- Benchmarking practices
