3. Social media audit
Our major social media priorities for 2016 will be growing our online
following and community. Storytelling is more powerful than selling. Our
brand must resonate beyond what the company does. People much
prefer to talk about entertainment than anything else
Two social strategies will support this objective:
1. A plan to increase the volume of content we publish to our social
profiles.
2. Encourage conversations and discoverability of content.
