Ben Stroud conducted a social media audit when he joined GMG Radio in 2010 and found they had too many inactive and inconsistent social media accounts. He restructured their accounts, implementing steering groups and a social forum to oversee content and measure engagement. This increased their social media reach significantly over two years, with over 1000% growth on Facebook, referral traffic increasing 31-66%, and engagement growing on all platforms. The changes professionalized and consolidated their social media presence.
