Background: For the Senior Class Project of the Marketing Major, data analysis: My group will be creating a social media strategy for a small business or nonprofit. We chose the United Way of Pierce County (UWPC) where I am currently interning at. To success in this project, we as a team, study UWPC, this includes knowing its mission: statement, organizational structure, and budget for social media.
The subject of our project will ideally be a business that we frequent and draw upon our experience for internal analysis.
Plan: In order to develop a well-thought out social media strategy, it makes sense to have some sort of basis or guideline for strategy development. For this project, we began by reviewing the framework in full, keeping an eye out for what information we need to write our strategy and what decisions we need to make.
VaynerMedia is one of the leading, and fastest-growing digital media marketing agencies. In this slideshow, I take a look closely at their social media numbers and create a plan to increase their exposure online.
Case Study: Content to Conversion: Is Your Content Driving the Right Path?
Content has become the catalyst for audience engagement, and the role of earned media in driving organizational success has been strengthened as a result. However, in this rush to content being "king", we have begun to lose sight on what we want that content created to achieve. At the outset of any campaign one must ask; what is the conversion metric we hope to attain to build awareness and spark action. Be it views, shares, sales; that metric is the key to any content marketing strategy. As your brand (whether B2C, B2B, or Non-profit) provides context around the conversation, we have to ask how your strong and compelling content is driving your desired outcomes.

Harnessing the Power of Predictive Models for Marketing Campaign Optimization...Daniel McKean
In the fast-paced world of digital marketing, making data-driven decisions is not just an advantage; it's a necessity. Among the plethora of tools and techniques at the disposal of marketers and data analysts, predictive models stand out for their ability to transform complex marketing challenges into opportunities for strategic optimization.
When most people in the industry talk about online or digital reputation management, what they're really saying is Google search and PPC. And it's usually reactive, left dealing with the aftermath of negative information published somewhere online. That's outdated. It leaves executives, organizations and other high-profile individuals at a high risk of a digital reputation attack that spans channels and tactics. But the tools needed to safeguard against an attack are more cybersecurity-oriented than most marketing and communications professionals can manage. Business leaders Leaders grasp the importance; 83% of executives place reputation in their top five areas of risk, yet only 23% are confident in their ability to address it. To succeed in 2024 and beyond, you need to turn online reputation on its axis and think like an attacker.
Key Takeaways:
- New framework for examining and safeguarding an online reputation
- Tools and techniques to keep you a step ahead
- Practical examples that demonstrate when to act, how to act and how to recover

Digital Commerce Lecture for Advanced Digital & Social Media Strategy at UCLA...Valters Lauzums
E-commerce in 2024 is characterized by a dynamic blend of opportunities and significant challenges. Supply chain disruptions and inventory shortages are critical issues, leading to increased shipping delays and rising costs, which impact timely delivery and squeeze profit margins. Efficient logistics management is essential, yet it is often hampered by these external factors. Payment processing, while needing to ensure security and user convenience, grapples with preventing fraud and integrating diverse payment methods, adding another layer of complexity. Furthermore, fulfillment operations require a streamlined approach to handle volume spikes and maintain accuracy in order picking, packing, and shipping, all while meeting customers' heightened expectations for faster delivery times.
Amid these operational challenges, customer data has emerged as an important strategy. By focusing on personalization and enhancing customer experience from historical behavior, businesses can deliver improved website and brand experienced, better product recommendations, optimal promotions, and content to meet individual preferences. Better data analytics can also help in effectively creating marketing campaigns, improving customer retention, and driving product development and inventory management.
Innovative formats such as social commerce and live shopping are beginning to impact the digital commerce landscape, offering new ways to engage with customers and drive sales, and may provide opportunity for brands that have been priced out or seen a downturn with post-pandemic shopping behavior. Social commerce integrates shopping experiences directly into social media platforms, tapping into the massive user bases of these networks to increase reach and engagement. Live shopping, on the other hand, combines entertainment and real-time interaction, providing a dynamic platform for showcasing products and encouraging immediate purchases. These innovations not only enhance customer engagement but also provide valuable data for businesses to refine their strategies and deliver superior shopping experiences.
The e-commerce sector is evolving rapidly, and businesses that effectively manage operational challenges and implement innovative strategies are best positioned for long-term success.

Monthly Social Media News Update May 2024Andy Lambert
TL;DR. These are the three themes that stood out to us over the course of last month.
1️⃣ Social media is becoming increasingly significant for brand discovery. Marketers are now understanding the impact of social and budgets are shifting accordingly.
2️⃣ Instagram’s new algorithm and latest guidance will help us maintain organic growth. Instagram continues to evolve, but Reels remains the most crucial tool for growth.
