How a Social Media Marketing Agency Can Improve Your Productivity

At the discretion of our clients we don't shout out much about our social media marketing management and strategy services.

However, we have participated on social media long enough – as Thrive Marketing Limited and Au Fait – to know that some companies don’t have it right.

Some social media agencies themselves don’t have it right.

This blog post is not about scoring points or insulting another company, but we want to raise awareness about how social media marketing should be conducted and adopted, regardless of who is running it.

You should see your personal productivity levels improve and also have actual results from your social media marketing efforts.

Over the last year we have provided management, strategy, engagement and metrics for over 35 local social media accounts.

We know how to behave, what tone to use and how to ensure that the client and their customers get the best from our services.

If you want proof that we know what we’re talking about, we have a PDF document of over 200 regularly updated Twitter Hours for our clients, competitors and the general public to use.

We have blog posts on common Twitter queries, how to behave in a Twitter hour and new features in social media.

We aren’t just about Twitter, or Facebook, either.

Our Social Media Executives carefully produce content for a range of clients across varying sectors.

These clients have different business goals and audiences, so there messaging is conducted across LinkedIn, Instagram, Pinterest and Google+ too.

Regardless, of who your company is, what that “budget friendly” company suggests and how many articles they share from PR Daily, you need experts.

There is no point paying for a service that doesn’t produce results.

We have an efficient, paid-for platform that we use to schedule messaging, monitor conversations and then provide detailed metrics from your company’s time on social media.

If you feel like you don’t have the results you were looking for, then it’s up to you to turn to an agency that can provide the full scale service.

Also, we’ve seen many companies who have adopted social media, when in actual fact they’re more suited to an email marketing campaign approach, or otherwise.

Our Strategic Director, Rachel, holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Social Media and continues to carefully study the field of online marketing, alongside myself and our Social Media Executives.

Rachel can discuss marketing strategies with businesses when they first approach us for a no-obligation chat. She can actively suggest upcoming updates to social media and how varying platforms can suit varying sectors.

  • We never use a “one size fits all” approach.
  • Thrive always uses Twitter Hours for what they’re made for – conversation and engagement.
  • We will always share your preferred products / services / offers
  • Thrive takes great care in responding to and managing the customer service element of social media 

 

How the RIGHT approach to social media from an agency can boost YOUR productivity

  • Get regular updates and reports on the performance of your accounts
  • Use your social media content strategy to improve other elements of content / online marketing
  • Free up time to focus on emails, meetings or actual work!
  • Don’t worry about ‘abandoning’ your online presence as we manage every aspect for you
  • Get your profile looking and sounding spot on, with profile branding / designing also available from our creative team
