Consistent Branding
SYNERGY- All of your profiles should feel similar. Focus on promoting content
tailored to each network instead of using the same copy across all profiles.
MESSAGING- While you want the
content to vary you want the voice to
sound similar. Determine how you want
to come across and stay consistent.
VISUAL- Use the same branding across all
networks. Use your logo as your profile
picture and a consistent cover photo that
mimics your web design.
