Social media is the collective term for a host of platforms which facilitate the sharing of ideas and information with fellow users, and has been used to build virtual networks and communities of like-minded people across the globe. Social media has become so influential that it has replaced news organisations as the primary source of news for a significant section of the global population, and is often the first place that consumers will look to for reviews, to make complaints about or give compliments to a brand.

Your social media audience can vary quite significantly from the image you may have of it. Before diving into different strategies and solutions to your social media activities, you need to understand who your actual social audience is. Are they young or old, do they have a variety of interests, what kinds of topics are they talking about and why? With real data about your audience in hand, we develop a strategy that takes into account the various areas of your social media which may require development, determining what your main social strategy areas should be. By planning thoroughly, developing social content calendars, and clearly executing a strategy, you give yourself the best chance to succeed in the world of social media.

Upon choosing us as your social media agency, we conduct research and create a set of clear, concise and strategic social guidelines for your business in line with your existing brand guidelines. These can be used to develop a consistent, market-relevant social media voice and presence.

We begin by developing a thorough understanding of where your company is situated socially, the challenges and opportunities, and how we can deliver the best social engagement strategy or consultancy service to meet your needs.

Not only is it the first place some consumers will look for you – before the website in many cases – it is key to building and maintaining relationships with consumers and can be a huge driver of share of voice and brand recognition. You need look no further than the war of the chocolate swiss rolls to see how social media shapes the landscape in the 21st Century.
