As a result, organizations are leaving thousands of dollars on the table.

Breaking Silos To Break Bank: Shattering The Divide Between Search And SocialNavah Hopkins
At Mozcon 2024 I shared this deck on bridging the divide between search and social. We began by acknowledging that search-first marketers are used to different rules of engagement than social marketers. We also looked at how both channels treat creative, audiences, bidding/budgeting, and AI. We finished by going through how they can win together including UTM audits, harvesting comments from both to inform creative, and allowing for non-login forums to be part of your marketing strategy.

You have to understand your people. If you want to have a successful, compelling event you have to speak their language and understand what their motivations are.
Surveys are best conducted in anticipation of an event but make sure it’s timely and relevant. You’ll know when the wrong time to survey is. You want to find out what your supporters are thinking which can help you coordinate for your event.
If you do survey them, ask the right questions at the right time and be careful what you ask.
Don’t be vague.
Don’t ask your supporters what you should already know. Don’t make them tell you what they gave.
