Your brand is on multiple social media platforms and posting regularly, but when it comes to engaging your social community, are you giving your audience what they want ? Social media has a very different rhythm than other marketing channels. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but they likely don’t care about your brand’s marketing message. As marketers, we know how to tell a story, but oftentimes that falls short in our social content.

about what the difference is between “community manager&# and “social media manager?&# I know I am – and I am both a community manager and a social media manager!

The whole concept of online community is evolving.

I decided that first off, I needed to look at this campaign from our target market’s point of view. Even on our limited budget, deciding to use social listening and a few qualitative interviews gave me the chance to step inside the target market’s shoes. I learned how strong our target market was and at the same time learned to stay away from anything that even hinted at the idea of needing help because of failure. Guest Post by Christy Silverthone.
