“I’m like, okay, you wanna upsize your footprint, then you gotta get different shoes.” They’re like, “We love that – you’re hired.”
Siobhan Sharp, on joining the BBC (W1A)
More likes, more followers, make it viral, upsize your footprint . . . really?
We love social media and believe it is where your potential customers and influencers are hanging out; we also think social conversation and building community is a brilliant way to communicate your brand. But it’s not about likes, followers and footprints, it’s about engagement and delight.
Many of our clients have a general understanding of social media, some have it in their job description or as part of their wider marketing portfolio. Most are overwhelmed by the time that social media takes and struggle to understand how social media can help them to connect with their customer base.
We cut through the double talk to make social media marketing more manageable. We train clients on best practice techniques, blog about what works, and keep people up-to-date with our newsletter. We primarily socialise on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn and Google+ but are constantly testing out new social platforms and measures to see what works. We’d like to think we practice what we preach.
Some businesses put their social media in our hands. Why? Generally it’s because they don’t have an in-house marketing team but do want their websites to perform better on social media. And because we are doing social all day every day, we know what’s new, what’s best practice and what’s effective – which can save companies money in the long term. It’s not for all businesses, but it might be right for yours?
