Discovery phase: business objectives and brand identity</h3><a name="discovery"></a><p>For a successful social media strategy that drives long-term results, initial research is essential. Start by clearly understanding the brand identity and overall business objectives. </p><blockquote>The foundation of any successful social media strategy begins with thorough research. <br><br>This involves diving deep into understanding the brand, its audience, and the broader industry," says <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ivy-mullins-09a10716a/">Ivy Mullins</a>, Social Media Manager at <a href="https://bornsocial.com/">Born Social</a></blockquote><p>The discovery phase means gathering and analyzing critical data to create a comprehensive picture of where the brand stands and is headed. It helps you identify both strong areas and gaps that need mending. </p><blockquote>My typical social media strategy process begins with an analysis of the brand's current position, target audience, and overall business goals. - <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/coryawilliams/">Cory Williams</a>, Head of Social Media & Influencer Marketing at <a href="https://joinhandshake.com/">Handshake</a></blockquote><p>To go through this phase effectively, you should approach multiple stakeholders and departments within the company. </p><blockquote>This involves collaborating with various teams beyond just social e.g., analytics, CRM, search, creative, and influencer marketing, to gather as much existing data as possible. <br><br>I also identify and consult key stakeholders to understand brand performance across all digital channels. - <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/kinetakelsall/">Kineta Kelsall</a>, Founder & Director <a href="https://www.schoolofsocial.org.uk/">School of Social</a></blockquote><p>With this approach, you can get a holistic view of the brand's performance across digital channels and find opportunities for improvement.</p><p>Equally important in the discovery process is understanding the brand itself. Get your metaphorical teeth into its mission, values, and identity. Conduct interviews with key stakeholders, including founders or business owners, as they can best explain the core elements that define the brand. </p><blockquote>"90-minute interview with founder or business owner" is <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/moreinmedia/">Dorien Morin-van Dam</a>'s advice - Organic Social Media Strategist at <a href="https://www.moreinmedia.com/">More in Media</a> </blockquote><p>These first-hand accounts are important for creating a social media strategy outline that authentically represents the brand's voice and resonates with the target audience.</p><p>The ultimate goal of this phase is to ensure that your social media strategy is not only aligned with the business objectives but also reflects the brand's unique voice in an appealing way.</p><blockquote>When developing a social media strategy, I begin by understanding the brand's identity, mission, values, and target audience. <br><br>This involves analyzing existing social media content, brand guidelines, and conducting interviews with key stakeholders. - <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/essencesylviasmith/">Essence Smith</a>, Head of Social Media at <a href="https://ascendion.com/">Ascendion</a></blockquote><p>But don't stop at the brand's core identity and business goals. Analyze existing content, review engagement metrics, and benchmark performance against competitors. More on this in the following steps.</p><h3 id="-2-understand-your-target-audience">#2. Understand your target audience</h3><a name="audience"></a><p>Imagine organizing a birthday party, but instead of gathering family and friends, you pass around invitations to everyone you can find. You might get a lively crowd, but would it be enjoyable? Probably not.</p><p>The same goes for <a href="https://www.socialinsider.io/blog/social-media-marketing/">social media marketing for business</a>. Without knowing your <a href="https://www.socialinsider.io/blog/social-media-personas/">target audience</a>, your content might be great, but it won't resonate with the right people.</p><blockquote>When developing a social media strategy, I start by conducting in-depth research to understand the brand, its target audience, and competitors. <br><br>This ensures that the strategy is rooted in a deep understanding of the market and can effectively resonate with the intended audience. - <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/almapantaloukas/">Alma Pantaloukas</a>, Founder + Lead Strategist at <a href="https://www.ritualthrive.com/">Ritual Thrive</a></blockquote><p>Defining your target audience is crucial in creating a social media strategy because it will help you focus and attract people who care about your business.</p><blockquote>Social media strategy should be approached like any other type of strategy, and that starts with research. <br><br>Research needs to be centered around the target audience, understanding audience profiles, user behaviors, and drivers, and their affinities to uncover how your brand can be relatable for them - agrees <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/vivianlindsay/">Vivian Huang</a>, Strategy Director at <a href="https://www.monks.com/">Monks</a></blockquote><p>Here's what to research:</p><ul><li><strong>Job title</strong>: What sort of job titles does this persona have?</li><li><strong>Demographics</strong>: Age, gender, location, income, and education level.</li><li><strong>Interests</strong>: Hobbies, passions, preferred brands and products.</li><li><strong>Social media habits</strong>: Preferred platforms, topics they engage with, and frequency of use.</li><li><strong>Online communities</strong>: Forums and groups relevant to your audience.</li><li><strong>Brand affinities</strong>: Which brands do they already interact with or admire on social media?</li><li><strong>Budget for your product/service</strong>: What do you know about how much they are willing or able to spend in your category?</li><li><strong>Goals/aspirations:</strong> What do they aim for in life, and how does your brand support them?</li><li><strong>Pain points</strong>: Problems they face and challenges they need help addressing.</li><li><strong>How we help</strong>: How does your product/service solve their challenge?</li></ul><blockquote>I conduct a thorough audit of the brand, its audience, the market, and the cultural landscape relevant to the client's industry. <br><br>Only after this in-depth research and analysis do I develop a strategic plan. - <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/kinetakelsall/">Kineta Kelsall</a>, Founder & Director <a href="https://www.schoolofsocial.org.uk/">School of Social</a></blockquote><p>With this information, you can create a list of themes and topics, choose the right platforms and content formats, identify relevant conversations to join, decide on a posting schedule, and refine your tone of voice.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card kg-card-hascaption"><img src="https://www.socialinsider.io/blog/content/images/2024/04/socia-media-audience.webp" class="kg-image" alt="social media audience data for strategy" loading="lazy" width="2000" height="1125" srcset="https://www.socialinsider.io/blog/content/images/size/w600/2024/04/socia-media-audience.webp 600w, https://www.socialinsider.io/blog/content/images/size/w1000/2024/04/socia-media-audience.webp 1000w, https://www.socialinsider.io/blog/content/images/size/w1600/2024/04/socia-media-audience.webp 1600w, https://www.socialinsider.io/blog/content/images/size/w2400/2024/04/socia-media-audience.webp 2400w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"><figcaption>Social media audience</figcaption></figure><p>If you're not familiar with audience research, here are the sources that will help you fill in the blanks:</p><ul><li><strong>Existing customer insights</strong> can come from your own surveys or data available on social media analytics platforms.

Not setting clear goals</h3><p>One of the most common mistakes in social media strategy is jumping in without setting clear, measurable goals. </p><p>All too often, businesses want it all: increasing brand awareness, getting engagement, driving traffic to landing pages, and boosting sales. We see it in our client interactions, and we hear it from experts.</p><p>Not that having several objectives is a problem per se. But without specific objectives tied to the right KPIs and timeframes, it's hard to stay focused and measure success.</p><blockquote>For me, one of the biggest mistakes I see social media managers make is lacking clear goals, especially when it comes to distinguishing between short-term and long-term objectives. - <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/kamauerick/">Erick Kamau</a>, Digital Marketing Lead at <a href="https://cedarclink.com/">Cedarclink</a></blockquote><p>Don't get lost in the daily grind of posting without knowing if your efforts are actually making an impact.</p><p>Identify what you want to achieve and set SMART goals, as explained in step #5 of the guide above.</p><h3 id="oopsie-2-ignoring-the-audience-s-needs">Oopsie #2. Ignoring the audience's needs</h3><p>Social media isn't just about letting people know how cool you (or your products) are. It’s about finding meaningful ways to engage with your followers. </p><p>One big mistake is focusing solely on what you want to say without considering what your audience wants to hear. The result? You’re up on a pedestal preaching to an empty room (or one that scrolls on their phone, looking for something more interesting to pay attention to).</p><p>If your content doesn't resonate with your followers, you’ll struggle to achieve any of your objectives.</p><blockquote>Putting too much emphasis on personal opinions or preferences instead of keeping in mind what the audience wants to hear from the brand - is a mistake highlighted by Social Media Strategist <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/danielle-olavario/">Danielle Olavario</a>.</blockquote><p>In addition, some brands pay more attention to competitors than their audience. While competitor analysis has its merits, imitation without strategy won't get you far. </p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/trausneck/"><em>Dave Trausneck</em></a><em>, Communications & Marketing Executive, describes this common mistake: </em></p><blockquote>Trying to position the brand as something it's not. Some social media managers see the success of other "darling" brands and try to copy something or a trend, rather than focus on what their audience wants.</blockquote><p>To avoid this pitfall, take time to truly research and understand your audience's preferences and interests and use them as a basis for your social media strategy document. Jump to step #2 in the "9 steps to create an effective social media strategy" section above to get actionable tips on how to do this.</p><h3 id="oopsie-3-neglecting-the-importance-of-posting-frequency">Oopsie #3. Neglecting the importance of posting frequency</h3><p>Consistency in social media posting helps you stay top of mind with your audience. Brands that post irregularly risk getting lost in the noise. </p><p>On the other hand, posting too much, too often, can create too much noise and lead to unfollows.</p><blockquote>Many social media managers can fall into the trap of inconsistent posting or overposting, ignoring audience insights and analytics, and failing to adapt to platform algorithm changes. - <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/essencesylviasmith/">Essence Smith</a>, Head of Social Media at <a href="https://ascendion.com/">Ascendion</a></blockquote><p>To find the right balance, establish a content calendar that allows you to post regularly and create value. </p><p>Pay attention to your social media analytics and industry benchmarks to understand when your audience is most active and plan your posts accordingly.</p><h3 id="oopsie-4-lacking-an-in-depth-understanding-of-competitors">Oopsie #4. Lacking an in-depth understanding of competitors</h3><p>Simply Googling two or three competitors and quickly glancing over their social media pages does not provide sufficient insights to inform a social media strategy. </p><p>Unfortunately, that's what many brands call a competitor analysis. It's a frequent mistake and a missed opportunity. </p><blockquote>Some of the most common mistakes I see many people make with social media strategy is incorrectly identifying our competitors. <br><br>Your competitors are not just within your industry. <br><br>Social Media is the battle of attention and inspiration can come from top performing brands that do not sell or service the same people but garner a lot of engagement on social media. - <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/denise-reid/">Denise Reid</a>, Social Media and Creative Consultant</blockquote><p>Businesses that fail to analyze the competitor landscape thoroughly risk falling behind or, worse, replicating tactics that don't work.</p><p>Conducting an in-depth competitor analysis is crucial, and you can learn how to go about it by clicking on step #4 in the sample social media plan above.</p><h3 id="oopsie-5-not-optimizing-content-for-different-platforms">Oopsie #5. Not optimizing content for different platforms</h3><p>Although experts keep advising businesses to tailor content considering different formats and audience preferences, many brands continue to copy and paste the same posts everywhere. </p><blockquote>A significant misstep is assuming content can be uniformly applied across platforms, such as expecting what works on Insta to perform equally well on TikTok. <br><br>Each platform has a different strategic purpose, audience behaviours, and content preferences that must be considered. - <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/kinetakelsall/">Kineta Kelsall</a>, Founder & Director <a href="https://www.schoolofsocial.org.uk/">School of Social</a></blockquote><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/adriana-castillo-29-49031122a/"><em>Adriana Castillo</em></a><em> agrees: </em></p><blockquote>One common mistake is not fully understanding or engaging with the audience or treating all social media platforms the same.</blockquote><p>The reasons behind this mistake are plenty: lack of time, budget, or expertise for adaptation and personalization. </p><p>However, a one-size-fits-all approach to content simply doesn't get you optimal results.</p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/mariam-sow-9b71b1ab/">Mariam Sow</a> draws a great analogy between treating all platforms the same and posting identical content across the board with fashion:<em> </em></p><blockquote>That’s like wearing a tuxedo to the beach—wrong vibe, wrong place. Each platform has its own culture and audience, so content should be customized accordingly.</blockquote><p>To avoid this pitfall, plan your resources to allow for content optimization. Publish less if you must, but ensure that your social media posts resonate with your audience and with the platform vibe.</p><h3 id="oopsie-6-lack-of-actionable-plans">Oopsie #6. Lack of actionable plans</h3><p>Many brands do great in the initial phases, doing research, setting goals, and brainstorming content ideas — but then fail to take proper action. </p><blockquote>You need to take the information you learn in your data collection and competitor analysis to create actionable ways to improve the social media presence. - <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexandrahaider/">Alex Haider</a>, Social Media Specialist at Second Harvest Heartland</blockquote><p>A good strategy should include a concrete plan for daily, weekly, or monthly tasks that are manageable and trackable. Translate research and ideas into a social media content calendar with roles and deadlines. </p><p>Also, great strategies are not set in stone. Track KPIs to draw insights and create actionable plans for continuous improvement.</p><h3 id="oopsie-7-ignoring-trends">Oopsie #7. Ignoring trends</h3><p>To paraphrase Heidi Klum's catchphrase on the Project Runway reality show, in social media, one day you're in, and the next, you're out. </p><p>Brands that ignore trends can quickly become outdated, irrelevant, or boring. </p><p>No one says you should jump on every fashionable bandwagon, but you should keep an eye on trends and leverage the ones that align with your brand.</p><blockquote>Social media is dynamic, so it's vital to leave flexibility in your content schedule to respond to trends or viral moments as they arise. - <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ivy-mullins-09a10716a/">Ivy Mullins</a>, Social Media Manager at <a href="https://bornsocial.com/">Born Social</a></blockquote><p>To avoid falling behind, analyze trending hashtags, popular topics, and viral content. Focus on content creators in your niche, but don't ignore other industries, as trends easily migrate. </p><p>Who knows, you might get your next big, creative idea simply by paying attention and having an open mind.</p><h3 id="oopsie-8-not-using-data-to-optimize-social-media-strategies">Oopsie #8. Not using data to optimize social media strategies</h3><p>Would you drive a car blindfolded? Of course not. </p><p>Posting on social media without paying attention to analytics is a bit like driving without visibility. You have no idea where you're headed, if you need to course correct, or if you're even on the road (to achieving your goals). The eventual crash may be just virtual, but it can still hurt your business. </p><p>Paying attention to analytics is like turning the headlights on. Taking the blinds off. And finally seeing the map on your dashboard. </p><blockquote>Monitoring performance through analytics is essential to understanding what's working and what needs adjustment, allowing for continuous optimization to keep the strategy aligned with the brand’s goals and drive impactful results. - <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/almapantaloukas/">Alma Pantaloukas</a>, Founder + Lead Strategist, Ritual Thrive </blockquote><p>Make it a habit to regularly review your analytics and adjust your strategy based on what the data tells you. </p><blockquote>A common mistake is assuming that once something works in your strategy, it will always work. - <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/carmenshirkeycollins/">Carmen Collins</a>, Creative Social Media Marketing Executive </blockquote><p>Experiment with different types of content, posting times, and messaging, and let the numbers guide your social media journey. Head over to step #9 in the example of a social media marketing plan above for more instructions.</p><h3 id="oopsie-9-confusing-strategy-with-tactics">Oopsie #9. Confusing strategy with tactics</h3><p>Strategy and tactics are often mixed up. They are complementary but not the same. A strategy is your overall plan for achieving your goals, while tactics are the specific actions that help you get there. </p><blockquote>The thing I see most often is confusing strategy with tactics. Using influencers isn't a strategy. Neither is trend-based content. <br><br>Those are tactics, that when used well can help achieve the goals you've outlined, but they're not your social media strategy. - <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/cthomas789/">Courtney Thomas</a>, Director of Social Media at <a href="https://abccreative.com/">Aloysius Butler & Clark</a></blockquote><p>Before diving into tactics like posting schedules or ad campaigns, make sure you have a well-defined digital marketing strategy in place. </p><blockquote>It's easy to say you're going to be doing this form of creatives or testing out new platforms, but you need to illustrate how these tactics are part of your strategy. - <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/alvingunputh/">Alvin Gulputh</a>, Social Media Lead at <a href="https://www.thredd.com/">Thredd</a></blockquote><p>Your strategy should outline your goals, target audience, and content plan. All your tactics should stem from there to ensure coherence and efficiency. </p><p>Focus on tactics without strategy, and your efforts will be disjointed, often failing to produce consistent results or align with the business needs.</p><h2 id="who-s-responsible-for-creating-a-social-media-strategy-plan">Who’s responsible for creating a social media strategy plan?</h2><a name="who_can_create"></a><p>Creating a successful social media strategy is team effort, without a doubt. </p><p>As <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicholas-sylvia/">Nick Sylvia</a> points out:</p><blockquote>Developing a social strategy should fall on a combination of brand management, creative, data/insights, and social media management roles.</blockquote><p>Each of these roles brings a unique perspective: brand management ensures that the strategy aligns with overall business goals, creative teams provide the content direction, and data experts ensure that decisions are based on analytics.</p><p>This collaborative effort should exist even on small teams. </p><blockquote>If the team is small and there's only one social media manager in the company, they should develop the strategy in collaboration with the CMO. The person responsible for strategy development should have substantial experience in various areas and proven case studies with results over time. - <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/karinaoksa/">Karina Oksa</a>, Social Media Lead at <a href="https://sumsub.com/">Sumsub</a> </blockquote><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/calvin-walker/">Calvin Walker</a> adds that if an organization doesn't have a dedicated social media team, the responsibility should fall under the marketing department. </p><blockquote>In an ideal scenario, the social team is able to have conversations with other teams (ie: ecomm, product, etc.) to see what, if anything, feels relevant to the shaping of their strategy. Those other teams will also know the decision maker on what gets included and implemented comes down to the social team. - Calvin Walker, Social Media Consultant</blockquote><p>On the other hand, specialization is also important for creating successful strategies. </p><blockquote>Ideally you have either a dedicated person in your organization or you hire an agency. The most important if you have a dedicated person is for them to concentrate on just social media. - <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ianbmason/">Ian Mason</a>, Founder of <a href="https://glimmermarketing.com/">Glimmer Marketing</a></blockquote><p>As <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/cthomas789/">Courtney Thomas</a> points out:</p><blockquote> You often see a 'social media manager' or 'social media strategist' job title that's doing strategy while running channels, creating content, doing reporting and sometimes doing paid social. Those are, ideally, different jobs.</blockquote><p>A specialized approach allows each team member to focus on what they do best, ensuring you optimize your social strategy’s creation and execution.</p><p>However, specialization doesn't change the fact that, in order to deliver great outcomes, social media managers must wear many hats. </p><blockquote>Anyone in the social media management space or Digital Marketing should be in a position to deliver a good social media strategy. <br><br>Other than understanding the different social media platforms, they need to understand various aspects of content development and marketing, analytics, and how other activities in a business affect a brand, such as paid media, community management, customer service, etc. <br><br>They also need to conduct thorough research, understand their target audience, and stay updated with the latest social media trends and the usual platform updates. - <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/kamauerick/">Eric Kamau</a>, Social Media Marketing Lead</blockquote><p>To relieve some of the burden, social media managers should collaborate and coordinate with other roles on the team to ensure timely execution and quality output.</p><blockquote>A social media strategist is responsible for creating the social media strategy while working along side the content creator specialist to execute the strategy. - <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/maria-egunjobi-9b857411b/">Maria Olawumi</a>, Senior Marketing Specilist</blockquote><h2 id="how-often-you-should-update-your-social-media-strategy">How often you should update your social media strategy</h2><a name="how_often"></a><p>You should update your social media strategy periodically, based on concrete insights. The period depends on business needs and changes in the market. </p><p>We conducted a survey and the data shows that 55.6% of respondents update their strategy based on specific events or triggers, which could include changes in business goals, product launches, or trends. </p><p>For these businesses, flexibility is clearly important. This less structured approach can also be an indication of lack of consistent actionable insights and less planning around optimization. </p><p>However, many respondents follow a more structured approach, with 15.6% updating monthly, 15.6% quarterly, and 11.1% annually. These intervals allow for regular adjustments based on performance metrics, avoiding a stagnant state of social media affairs.</p><p>We recommend a combination of periodic reviews and event-based updates based on social media data, competitor analysis, and audience research to ensure that your strategy remains relevant and your business agile.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://www.socialinsider.io/blog/content/images/2024/09/social-media-reach.png" class="kg-image" alt="how often you should update your social media strategy - survey" loading="lazy" width="1320" height="1600" srcset="https://www.socialinsider.io/blog/content/images/size/w600/2024/09/social-media-reach.png 600w, https://www.socialinsider.io/blog/content/images/size/w1000/2024/09/social-media-reach.png 1000w, https://www.socialinsider.io/blog/content/images/2024/09/social-media-reach.png 1320w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><hr><h2 id="faqs-about-social-media-strategy">FAQs about social media strategy</h2><a name="faqs"></a><h3 id="do-i-need-a-social-media-marketing-strategy">Do I need a social media marketing strategy?</h3><p>Definitely.
