Social media is a strong marketing tool, however just like other marketing campaigns, it needs to be used as part of an overall strategy and not just a tool for endless self-promotion. As part of your social media strategy, define what your goals and objectives are for social media and use this to guide your posts.
Below are some examples of social media goals and how these can guide your posts
- You want to educate your customers more about your company – instead of posting large chunks from your About Us section, post some old photos of the company, or start posts with I remember when……Educate your customers while still entertaining them.
- I want to add credibility to my business – social media isn’t just for B2C it’s also powerful for B2B and this is where thought leadership and building credibility is incredibly important using social. Comment on industry news, link to other articles and provide your comment or create a new post on something you are passionate about in the industry, challenge other thought leaders in your industry. The key to building credibility through social is to use your personality to spark debate and conversation
- I want to engage my customers – then post engaging content. Yep it’s that simple. In any business, there are key people who have very specific knowledge about your product or service - and it’s not always the MD. Find those people, have a conversation with them, find out what they know and create posts. You make think no one outside your office wants to know this information, but think again.
Still not sure about what content to post, below is a quick guide you can us

Media is complex. Much more than it used to be. Since the dawn of the internet and rise of social media, the number of media options has exploded. For a marketing manager, they are like pieces of a puzzle, interconnecting and working together. So, how does a marketing manager make the pieces form a nice, big, beautiful picture, to successfully stand out not only amongst the competition but above the vast array of media noise? American digital marketing expert, Gini Dietrich, identified four types of media: Paid, Earned, Shared and Owned. She called it the PESO model . Here we look at the four types of media. We describe and analyse each one and discuss how they all fit together.
When we launched in 2003, the trend in agencies was to provide a specialist service, like creative or media buying. But we saw the opportunity to offer full-service marketing to our clients, taking the pain away from managing multiple agencies with multiple processes. We’ve chosen to continue to base ourselves in the Macarthur region, moving to Campbelltown in our current office nearly six years ago. This has enabled us to build strong working relationships with many companies in our region including property developers, builders, manufacturers, local Councils, venues, and many more. We’ve also worked with loads of companies outside the region which is becoming so much easier with the aid of technology. We’re not just suppliers, but genuine business partners. I’d like to thank the many clients I’ve worked alongside in the past 20 years and look forward to continuing many of those relationships.
