That's a lot of users sitting around, waiting to see your content. So, how can you reach all of those users and create opportunities for them to engage with your brand?

While social media has technically been around for about 40 years, it wasn’t until after Facebook launched a little over a decade ago that companies began paying attention it as a powerful tool for marketing. It used to be that branding would be focused on print media, broadcast ads and newsletters (email and flyers). The addition of social media meant that companies now had another way to connect with their consumers.

Live tweeting an event keeps your followers engaged and informed of events they want to attend in person but, for whatever reason, may not be able to. Think of it as a news report of an event. As the “reporter,” you hold the power to convey all the information your followers want to hear. And when you do so at an event that’s relevant to them, you’ll see them engage more with you.

What comes to mind when you think of SEO? "Permalink" probably isn't the first or second thing, maybe not even the tenth thing. The truth is, though, permalinks and SEO have a lot more in common than you may think, and — when done correctly — can only benefit your website in the long run. Luckily, permalinks are fairly simple to master, which is good, and vital to SEO value.

The biggest challenge marketers face right now is reaching their target audience, and I mean really reaching them. Not just publishing an advertisement or piece of content that an audience might see or read; but reaching them with a message that piques their interest and starts a conversation. This is where account-based marketing (ABM) comes in—and, it’s no wonder that ABM was deemed the second most popular marketing strategy for 2020, according to Sagefrog’s 2020 B2B Marketing Mix Report

When it comes to social media, thinking globally means thinking beyond the English language. The usual suspects—Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, or Twitter—may not be relevant to the people you’re trying to reach around the world. Finding your target market is important to creating a solid social media strategy. If some or all of your target market speaks a language other than English or resides in a non-English majority speaking country, they might be active on a non-English social network.
