Having a solid roadmap for the sharing and creation of regular and engaging social media content is the most effective way to build relationships with potential and existing customers as well as other target audiences. A social media strategy and plan will help create an approach that targets and engages the right audience effectively and uses content strategically to increase awareness of key messages, important news and products or services.

A sound strategy and a well thought-out plan in place is a critical first step in managing your brand’s perceptions and growth in an ever-changing space, as it will help you convey the right messages to the right audiences at the right time, all being done in a consistent manner. I’ve had experience gaining awareness and generating growth for brands like Insight Enterprises, Nike, the University of Arizona, Finlandia Vodka, Ruiz Foods, Taylor Morrison Homes, HonorHealth, Cox Media, Best Western, Wise Foods and Cedars-Sinai.

Explore several different options for a social media strategy for your company below — all at a discounted rate until the end of the year — as well as a couple of case studies of my past work.

 

 

Case Studies

I've helped dozens of companies foster relationships online with targeted audiences on both global and local scales. From millions of interactions to acquiring droves of new customers, this is just a sample of some of the work I've done and the immediate and long-lasting impact it's had.

the University of Arizona

Nike’s reuse-a-shoe

With a strategic plan in place, the University of Arizona was able to garner impressive results across its many presences on social networks. The efforts aligned with this plan garnered over 560 million impressions (that’s 13.5 times the amount of pageviews the University’s website accumulated) and generated an earned value of $3 million. Through thoughtful outreach and collaboration, influencers like Deepak Chopra, Lockheed Martin, Savannah Guthrie, Hoodie Allen and NBC’s Community engaged with the university's accounts. Among peer institutions (including UCLA, Michigan State and Ohio State), the UA often had the highest growth and engagement rates.

Nike's 20-year-old Reuse-A-Shoe program needed new life, and it could only come from building new communities of advocates. To realize that, I helped devise a strategy that not only helped emphasize the program, but also the brand the audience loves. In truly emphasizing both the brand they love and the good the company does, brand advocacy and awareness took a major leap forward. The brand’s social media presences grew by 1,669 percent, engagement jumped by 880 percent and impressions soared by 1,022 percent. One social media contest that was executed generated thousands of more followers, increased engagement, and a blogger with millions of readers also covered the contest.
