About me:

TEXT

SPEAKEASY
TEXT
Social media marketing is…
Using social media channels to market a
brand (retail, auto, b2b, even a newspaper).

Multichannel.

SEO-enhancing.

Hybrid of sales and 

service.

Measurable.

Just another (BIG) channel where the rules still
apply – The message matters.

TEXT
Social media marketing is NOT…
Free.

One-size fits all.

SEO.

Conversion mechanism 

(often).

Just Facebook, Twitter and

whatever new launches 

this week.

About “likes” and “follows” – or even
“engagement.”

Measurable*

*Yes, I realize the contradiction

The next frontier

TEXT
What we’ve learned
Longer sales cycle than expected
Higher AVO than expected
Every deal is custom
Content really is king– about 1/3 of business
is more content than social

Work is frontloaded
Most successful with all three pillars
Subjectivity is a tough pill

Need ramp-up time
Best promos are multi-channel
Must supplement with paid (or owned) media

Not every client is a fit
