Social Media Marketing

When it comes to social media marketing, it may come as no surprise that a successful social presence requires interaction, not only with your audience but your colleagues. In today’s thriving online market where a constant social presence is a vital key to success, being in tune with your team’s concepts and ideas can, in turn, lend itself to plenty of social opportunities.

 

Create a culture based around social media

If you haven’t already, it’s worth creating a subculture based around your company’s social media presence. Have your team keep an eye on the kinds of services your company provides and how these rank in general popularity online. This ensures that your team is not only involved but also equipped with the knowledge to effectively contribute a wider range of potential ideas.

 

Involve your team in content creation

Encourage your team to capture and share moments from their workday that showcase your company’s culture, values, or products. Whether it’s a photo of a team meeting, a short video about their role, or a blog post reflecting on their experience, these personal insights can make your brand more relatable and engaging.

 

Encourage debates

Although cooperation is key to a successful work environment, also equally important is debating; sometimes members of your team will butt heads! Instead of viewing this as driving a block between your team members, let it become a topic of discussion. Debate and cherry-pick certain ideas so that everyone can contribute.

 

Set team-specific goals

Involving your team in social provides another opportunity; to diversify what it is you post. Preparation is the key to success, and if you plan ahead of time posts regarding certain roles within your team, this will in turn keep content fresh and engaging.

 

When your team is engaged in your social media presence, it not only humanises your brand but also amplifies your message in a way that resonates more deeply with your audience. The great thing about your company’s social presence is that no one person is responsible for its output. Indeed, you may have a dedicated social marketer within your team, but it’s such a broad, widely accessible facet to your company that anyone can make a positive impact!
