Social media marketing
Drive results with a comprehensive social media marketing strategy
When used effectively, social media is one of the most cost-effective methods of reaching your target audience at scale.
If your customers are regular social users, it’s likely that you’ll already have considered it in your marketing mix. Perhaps you’ve tried and tested social media without achieving the results you expected? Many businesses find themselves with not enough resources, time or expertise, to really get it right. Social media advertising is a real skill. That’s where we come in.
Our approach begins with identifying how social media should feature in your integrated marketing strategy. From there, we don’t just apply a template. We take a customised approach to understanding your environment, strategising, building creative, and implementing and optimising your campaign. We’ll help you find the right people on the right social channels and use creative messaging to cut through the noise. We’ll align your social media plan with your existing integrated marketing strategy to ensure that your marketing messaging has a consistent brand voice tailored for the social channel and audience you’re targeting.
Our applied expertise, experience and intelligence can increase your audience reach, brand awareness, engagement, leads, clicks and sales – ultimately boosting your results and ROI from social media.

- brand awareness
- lead generation
- sales

- feedback loops
- or something else!

What social media platforms should I use?
The social media you decide to use should be guided by your audience:

- What kind of social content are they engaging with?
- How are they using social media?
From there, we’ll pinpoint which channels are most applicable to your audience and identify what kinds of content will resonate with them. For example, if you’re marketing a B2B training resource, LinkedIn will likely play a role in your social media strategy.
