Meet Smidge
Social media marketing is difficult to master, but if you use the right tools, technology and management, you can create huge opportunities for your campaign and election.
We work with large brands and small business and 3 common themes arise:
• Too much technology to build and too little time to market it
• I use social media but I can't seem to grow my pages
• I can't micro-manage every social networking site, I need consistency
Everyday we manage, monitor, track, converse, network, interact, build relationships, connect and engage your audience - so you don’t have to!
We do the social of social media!

Social Media Productivity3 Pieces to the Puzzle
Social Engagement
Social Awareness
Social Measurement
Social media is reinventing marketing, communications, and the dissemination of information. While businesses now have access to these rich channels, the true promise of social media lies in the social engagement, awareness, and measurement.

Social Engagement
To grow your network and provide value to your fans/ followers, you need to engage. That means publishing great content; and publishing often, interacting and finding ways to activate your network, but you can’t always make time for it and often don’t know what to say.

• responding to the community - build your network• be fun and simple

Monitoring (or perhaps the more appropriate definition is “listening”) is the process of continuous and immediate discovery of conversations with the purpose of learning, engaging, helping and collaborating.
Why it’s important: It’s the “largest cocktail party in the world” - room filled with people driven by one desire to communicate, share, digest and relate.
• use tools • respond • echo positive comments

You need to know how your social media is going, but you can’t always look through all of the numbers. Measurement is at the center of any good R.O.I. but gathering metrics is complex and time consuming.
Why it’s important: You will probably want to see and understand some metrics that justify time spent on social media websites.
• constant benchmarking• course-correct
