Overview
Can you imagine living in a world without social media? Without the many platforms so deeply ingrained into our daily lives?
The continued evolution and growth of social media has given us numerous avenues to spread our messages in ways unimaginable in the recent past.
But this requires skills, tactics and an expertise on the many aspects and channels social marketing brings to the table – including:
- A solid familiarity with various platforms to know if they’re a good fit for your brand
- Coming up with content strategies that feel natural and authentic to those platforms
- Harnessing extra help in the form of influencers
- Leveraging brand ambassadors and user-generated content
- And being able to analyze how well it all is working and measure the right KPIs
In these pages, our experts—brand managers, agency practitioners, academics and more—will show you how to do just that, and more.
Also, in this 2019 edition of PRNEWS’ Social Media Guidebook, we’ve included articles about new innovations in social media, such as IGTV and programmatic advertising, and provided instruction on social marketing on some lesser-used platforms like Pinterest and Reddit. You’ll also find new articles about creating and advertising on podcasts. Order your copy today.
