How to elevate social media strategy by integrating organic and paid efforts
Abstract
In an ever-evolving global business landscape, companies need a way not only to drive brand and expert awareness but also to connect directly with the marketplace. Social media channels have become a key part of the go-to-market strategy, generating demand through the provision of daily education and engagement. Unfortunately, however, the main elements of this engine are often separated into silos. This paper shows that by keeping organic and paid social media content in alignment, companies can build larger audiences, boost engagement and awareness, and maximise return on advertising spend.
