Graham Oleson Social Media Proposal
Social media is an important tool for marketing but requires a strategic, team-based approach rather than being the responsibility of a single person. Content is key and should be shared regularly across different social networks in short, engaging formats. Both organic and paid social media require ongoing management of customer reviews and responses to protect a brand's online reputation. Regular reporting allows optimization of future social media strategies based on user engagement metrics.
