Strategy design
We design strategies for the complex social media issues that confront your business.
Our unique process is rooted in journalism as we consider you the expert and it is our job to help you uncover the most effective solutions. Here's how it works:
Discover. First our team will focus on understanding your company's unique value proposition, your current approach to social media and the challenges your team faces.
Analyze. Next, we will evaluate the brands in your competitive set as well as emerging trends in your industry to determine the best opportunities for your company within social media.
Decide. Armed with this information, we will lead your team through a series of strategy sessions in which we decide how your company moves forward.
Design. We will then create your social media strategy manual. In our final session together, we will finalize the manual and decide on your company's goals for social media.
Train. To ensure your success, we can teach you and your colleagues how to execute your new strategy through a seminar delivered on-site or virtually. For full details, please see our Training Programs.
Support. We can also provide ongoing consulting to your team on a retainer basis. Options include weekly team discussions, monthly analytical reports and quarterly training programs
Here are some of the topics we can tackle:

This cycle consists of brainstorming campaigns, creating content, scheduling posts, monitoring reaction, managing responses and analyzing metrics.
