Executive summary
- The Khloe Social Team will strive to increase the popularity of her mobile
app and grow her presence on social platforms.
Our main strategies to achieve this objective will include:
1. A plan to increase amount of subscribers on the Khloe app.
2. Opportunities on her Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat accounts to
interact with Khloe firsthand.

an assessment of all social networks, web traffic, and audience demographics.

Social media objectives
In 2016, our objective is to raise awareness about Khloe’s app and to bring in
more subscribers. To do this, we will revamp her Twitter and Instagram to
display more of the exclusive content from the app. We will also be extending
the trial period of the app to one month, as opposed to the 7-day trial that is
currently in use.
Specific objectives include:
1. Increase subscriptions to app by 25% in six months via:
a. Increasing app’s trial period to engage users for a longer time,
that way they become accustomed to the app when the trial is
ending, encouraging further subscription
b. Promoting an interactive twitter chat for Khloe’s followers to
tweet at her about what they want to see on the app
2. Grow twitter audience to 25 million in 12 months via:
a. Promoting a Twitter Q&A session where Khloe will answer
questions every week on her new show, “Kocktails with Khloe”
b. Designating a member of the social media team to interact with
Khloe’s fans by favoriting, retweeting, or responding to their
tweets

Social media policy
8. KHLOE SOCIAL MEDIA STRATEGY 8
Social media is what brings millions of people together. It brings everyday
people into the same circles as famous actresses, musicians, and celebrities like
the Kardashians. As a member of Khloe’s social media team, we are all held to
the highest standard of class, professionalism, and support for Khloe.
- Some guidelines as a team member:
- Don’t speak about any details of Khloe’s life to any media outlets
- Be extra careful with any of Khloe’s personal data—her account
passwords, etc.
- Always remember when using her accounts that you are not using
your own voice, but rather the voice Khloe has created for herself.
- The tabloids and paparazzi are always out looking for information
and updates on the Kardashians — do not ever engage with them.
