Content strategy
Creativity Inspiration High quality
The capacity of creating something new and valuable or an unique idea. As artists or art lovers, most of the community will require this sentiment coming from artworkme
Related to the previous content, your community will look forward to some inspiration, a sudden creative burst that could let them show up their artistic genius
Both, Creativity and Inspiration will be improved with a high quality feel to be spread through the campaign. artworkme is high quality itself
Before entering social media, it‟s important to define what the voice of your Small Business will be and what content and messaging we want to relay to the audience. All this can be simplified in 3 key themes or content pillars (these are just an example)
Social activation
Social Networks
A. Your community
Once we‟ve defined the content to communicate, we have to determine how to communicate it and where, according to our previous research. The campaign will be focused on two different pillars
B. Amplification
Influencer Blogs & Advocates
They will help us out to spread the word, so their role and value for us is crucial. As opposed to Your Community, there will be no brand control over the post‟s content though
Spread the word Your SMB just joined Social Media!
Promotions
Every time a campaign is launched, it can be cross promoted through all channels (old and new)

Influencer Blogs
•For biggest campaigns
we‟ll try to agree 2 or 3
paid guest posts on the
most influencer blogs and
also work with advocates.
Blog post released for every campaign we launch
Button / link to that campaign, to allow readers to easilyparticipate
Restricted use. Newsletters are needed and we‟ll use them but we can‟t let fans think it is spam. Only 2-3 newsletters in 6 months.
Cross social promotions among platforms is essential.
What happens on Facebook will be tweeted and pictures shared on Instagram.
Perfect way to advertise your fan page and website
You‟ll only pay for every potential fan and customer actually clicking on the advert.

Influential blogger strategy
Amplification
All bloggers, either professionals or amateurs, often write about brands. Their opinion is heard by quite a lot. Their increasing online influence makes a good relationship with them decisive for brand marketers. Blog outreach currently is really important for brand exposure.
• Once a month, a KI blogger will review an
artworkme product. Post will be also launched
on Facebook and TwitterReviews
• An offline event with KI bloggers will
ostensibly increase the possibility to succeed
• One event with 10 bloggers by the end of the
current social media campaign

Measuring progressHaving metrics to guide you and measure progress against is very important for success. Measuring how many people are visiting your site is the most common way to know if your social media campaign is working, but that‟s only one portion of the metrics pie

Bearin mind
Social Media is not unidirectional. It‟s not
advertising
Social Media works, but it‟s not for free. Your SMB
will have to be ready for the time of your CM, social
ads, promotions, vouchers or contest prizes
Social Media must be coherent with website and
brand. Coordination between your SMB and your
online marketing consultant
Social Media is a matter of TIME. Time to keep
everything updated and time to wait for results
If you follow the rules, you‟ll see satisfying results coming from your social media activity
