Planning and Evaluating Your Social Media Strategy

About the Webcast

Social media analytics can be confusing and time-consuming. One look at the long list of metrics available is enough to overwhelm any seasoned social media manager. Combine that with the massive number of tools available to process the metrics faster and more efficiently may leave you unfocused, resulting in low engagement, low trust, and an ineffective social media account. Followers and social media passersby create actions that leave a trail of breadcrumbs. Used correctly, social media data can be a window into your target audience, allowing you to create your ideal social media strategy.
