Social media strategy

Goal

What do we want achieve with social media?

  • reach
  • visibility
  • credibility
  • community building and culture/identity
  • channel for feedback
  • customer service / interaction
  • increase traffic to web site

Accounts

Who is our target audience? Which platforms our customers and leads are using?

Based on these questions, I have selected three different medias; Twitter, Facebook and Medium.com.

Twitter

  • APInf_Suomi
  • Outreach in Twitter is more like marketing the other channels or linking articles/hackpad/etc.
  • Hashtags #API

Facebook

  • Laura is admin, all the others are editors. Rights are basically the same, Laura just is able to change the "roles"
  • Relaxed, human touched feeling in posts, not so serious or fact-based updates required every time.
  • Posts about twice a week

Medium

Content strategy

Ratio between non-promotional and promotional content should be around 80/20.

More information sharing, data, articles, "office life" and less selling and pure marketing.

Mission statement of the profile? Business strategy?
