Dissecting and Understanding Your Audience  

The bedrock of a powerful social media strategy is knowing your audience in and out. Create a detailed customer persona of who you want to reach and capture and analyse your current audience to identify any overlaps. To really dominate your space, consider creating a variety of social media content that will enrapture your target audience at different stages of the marketing funnel.

Find a sweet spot between educational posts, testimonials, detailed how-tos, and stunning imagery. But don’t just stop there, integrate your content with data and use analytics to optimise your content further and track the performance of your posts.  

Staying Ahead of the Curve  

A content calendar is the crux of every marketer’s strategy.
