Core beliefs
We believe social media is driven by
conversation about stories.
!
People invest in great storytelling and if
your brand can be the topic of
conversation, people will invest in you.
!
That creates a stronger, emotion driven
reach with an ampliﬁer with the size of the
internet. That is the true potential of social
media.

Email is the greatest social media ever!

Everyone is the media

Social Media Strategy
TODOS BEFORE THE FIRST UPDATE

Start by asking
What do we want to achieve with social media?
This is the no.1 most important thing

Examples of objectives
- Brand awareness
- Loyalty
- Afﬁnity
- Word of mouth
- Customer service
- Trafﬁc
- Conversions

OwnedPaid

Recommendations

Curious Focus
- We want people to talk about the brand
- We want people to like the brand
!
In marketing language:
- Build emotion driven reach
- Enhance brand afﬁnity
!
“Shareworthy stories (owned) boosted through paid media to
create positive WOM (earned) which builds brand afﬁnity”

Don’t buy the “10 tips to social media”
Despite what some consultants say, there
is no right or wrong way to do social
media.
!
There is only the way that meets the
objectives.

Goal hierarchy
Take ownership of
brand category
Convert customers
from existing
channels
Involve users and
enable sharing of
brand stories
Reward and
acknowledge user
contributions
Establish online brand universe
Reach out to costumers and
build brand ambassadors
WHY
HOW

Target group
- Who is the target audience?
- Primary and secondary
- Demographic
- Preferences and habits

Competitors
- Who are the main competitors?
- What are they doing on social media?
- Competitors are not just competing products

Tone of voice
- Aligned with brand manual
- Aligned with target group
- Personal, ofﬁcial, neutral?
- Straightforward, ironic?

Why like us on social media?
A sentence that sums up the brand’s value
proposition on social media.
“We enable you to share your interest for [cats] with
likeminded people”
!
“Liking us builds to your image as a design and brand
conscious, modern trendsetter - or at least your desire
to be one.”
This is the second most important thing

Like most marketing, social media can rarely
stand alone. It’s not the saviour but an important
part of the marketing toolbox.

Marketing law

Promotions may be administered on Pages or
within apps on Facebook. Personal Timelines must
not be used to administer promotions (ex: “share
on your Timeline to enter” or “share on your
friend's Timeline to get additional entries” is not
permitted).
!
You must not inaccurately tag content or
encourage users to inaccurately tag content (ex:
don’t encourage people to tag themselves in
photos if they aren’t in the photo).
