off-pitch drama, plan for the
unexpected!

PERFORMANCE	
  
Use analytics to identify opportunities
and optimise engagement!
•  Which pieces of content are seeing
higher engagement rates? Why is this?!
•  Can we identify why viewers aren’t
watching our video all the way
through?!
•  Social listening is identifying
conversations growing around a
pigeon who’s on court #1 – do we
have content for this scenario? Can
we create something?!
•  We’re receiving lots of negative
commentary about our brand because
of _____ - how can we douse the
flames?!
Use paid to get your conversation
seen by more of your audience!
•  Fans may not be online at that very
moment you publish a piece of great
content!
•  On Facebook, your content will not
land in the news feed of all your
followers!
•  If content clearly connects well with
your audience consider putting paid
money behind that content to drive
incremental reach and engagement!
•  Work with the media planner to
discuss how best to promote!
Recap on key phases!
