3 Key Steps to Measure
Your Social ROI
1. Set the right goals
2. Validate and calculate
3. Check in and adjust on
the go
1. Set the right goals
Join the conversation using #hootNYK
“Our goal is to make
our social media
accounts feel more
global.”
“We want to create
memorable
moments that
attract, engage and
retain a community
of brand loyalists.”
“Our overall goal is
to increase
revenue, which
includes
monetizing our
social media
channels.”
“We have no
formal goals for
social media
support.”
What goals matter, and to who?

20% more leads, brand consistency and protection

CMO: Build & protect brand, drive total leads
to support revenue goal

creation and distribution

Strategic
It all starts with goals.
