social media

Social Media is top of mind for most companies in the current Web 2.0 economy however many executives and marketing managers are unsure of its value, much less how to go about implementing it successfully.

Twitter started out as a group of narcissists wanting to inform the world of their every move. This has evolved into a platform where companies and individuals can now publicly be thought leaders providing updates, news and opinions on topics of expertise, to their audience of interested followers. Most importantly, social media allows companies to "engage" and build closer relationships with their stakeholders. Herein holds the key to extricating its true worth.

How we help our clients develop "mindshare" and gain a competitive advantage online using social media is by: 1. assessing primary objectives (eg. build community, greater visibility, brand management, higher web visits, etc), 2. conducting necessary research to locate a target audience online, 3. assembling the plan of action to attract, retain and engage with those that matter most and 4. measure all programs for maximum efficiency and effectiveness.

Each social media step is conducted with client education throughout so you are informed and can easily measure the results of your online campaign. Measurement tools are available and will be set up to assess the program from month to month. As in the offline world, it requires time to build trust and relationships - social media is no different. Expect a campaign to last anywhere from six months to a year for best results.

Services can be broken down into phases and rolled out one phase at a time in order that the client can gain a greater comfort level with their online communications.
