Excerpt from Chapter 2
“Research. Strategize. Build. Implement. Analyze.
These are the basic steps that you, your team, your marketing department and/or your intern (actually, please don’t terrify your interns by giving them this insanely important set of tasks) will need to execute prior to re-launching your super-amazing, actionable social media presence.
Yes, I’m sorry, you will actually need to do some work and look under the hood of your current digital marketing/social media efforts to create a presence online that not just one customer or client but multiple customers or clients want to interact with.
But this isn’t the real goal. Interaction with your core audience on social media should be a given or, better put, an innate goal on social media. What you really want, and yes, I’m willing to say this with some conviction, is a large and engaged group of brand loyalists who will love you no matter what, defend you to your haters (every brand has a few) and share, share, share your content!”
Let’s face it -
