The Power of Small: A Systematic Social Media Strategy for Limited Teams
Monday, Oct 14 11:30 - 12:15
Presented by Shannon NicholsonThis session was developed to emphasize the “small but mighty” mentality. Brands/Institutions have to be “on” 24/7. When you work on a small team, planning, scheduling, and optimization of organic social media can take a lot of time and resources, not allowing you to dive into other strategic initiatives. Approaching, content development, distribution, and data collection in a defined, systematic way will reduce the amount of time spent on organic social media and provide you the opportunity to get to all those “back-burner” initiatives. Session attendees will leave with an outline to further develop a guide for establishing resources for content development, a routine for social media distribution, and ideas for management.
