Social Media Marketing

 

Social media remains a conundrum for many marketing departments. That’s because it’s not always easy to translate engagement and followers in social into actual customers. And outside of retail or e-commerce businesses, where purchases can be more impulsive, social is not often a lower-funnel mechanism for many companies. So how do you do it right?

Your social strategy will most certainly depend on the type of organization you work at, your budgets, and your resources. And with each platform being a little different, it’s important for marketing departments to focus on the right opportunities in the right platforms for both organic and paid. At Marketing Nice Guys, we understand the challenges companies face in social every day. Our training includes coverage of key areas such as:

• Data on social trends and typical marketing resource allocations
• Platform-specific organic strategies and tactics (for Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, Pinterest, Snapchat), including scheduling, frequency, and content approach
• Platform-specific paid strategies and tactics (including remarketing, boosting, lookalikes)
