Identifying the best social platforms for your business 
Where to start 
• Identify the needs of your users by platform 
• Understand what action you want your users to take by channel 
• Develop a mobile first strategy 
• Create consistency across each platforms (background images/style/content/etc.) 
• Develop persona for each platform (audience, needs, expectations, etc.) 
• Become a student of new social platforms, but….understand because “we” have a new 
social platform – doesn’t mean “you” need to be there 
• And realize we are all drowning in information

Overview 
When 
to 
Use 
Expected 
Metrics 
Content 
Marke5ng 
Content 
markeXng 
involves 
the 
distribuXon 
of 
relevant, 
consistent 
content 
to 
a 
clearly 
defined 
audience. 
It 
gives 
brands 
the 
opportunity 
to 
share 
stories 
and 
solve 
customer 
problems. 
Content 
markeXng 
can 
take 
on 
many 
forms 
including: 
interacXve 
tools, 
web 
applicaXons, 
long 
form 
arXcles, 
blog 
posts, 
infographics, 
research, 
reviews 
or 
videos. 
TargeXng 
involves 
a 
deep 
understanding 
of 
the 
customer 
combined 
with 
keyword 
research. 
Content 
markeXng 
is 
ouen 
the 
vehicle 
brands 
use 
to 
influence 
organic 
search 
results, 
capture 
website 
traffic 
and 
become 
an 
authority. 
First, 
gather 
demographic, 
psychographic 
and 
behavioral 
data 
on 
the 
customer 
and 
understand 
where 
and 
how 
they 
interact 
with 
your 
product 
or 
service 
online. 
Next, 
idenXfy 
a 
problem 
that 
is 
unsolved 
or 
solved 
poorly 
via 
current 
content. 
OpXmize 
the 
soluXon 
for 
the 
customer 
and 
get 
it 
visible 
adopXng 
social 
media 
markeXng 
and 
other 
paid 
and 
organic 
channels 
to 
drive 
awareness. 
Content 
markeXng 
should 
be 
used 
to 
build 
a 
community, 
increase 
brand 
awareness 
and 
long 
term 
conversion. 
It 
is 
ouen 
integrated 
with 
other 
plasorms 
for 
maximum 
reach 
and 
market 
penetraXon 
including 
press 
releases, 
email 
markeXng 
and 
social 
media 
adverXsing. 
Content 
markeXng 
is 
more 
difficult 
to 
hold 
to 
an 
ROI 
standard, 
yet 
web 
analyXcs 
can 
track 
conversions, 
traffic 
and 
shares. 
Display 
Adver5sing 
Display 
adverXsing 
is 
a 
graphical 
adverXsement 
that 
can 
appear 
in 
a 
variety 
of 
sizes 
and 
animaXons, 
placed 
next 
to 
content 
on 
a 
vast 
network 
of 
websites 
opted 
in 
to 
display 
banner 
ads. 
Display 
or 
banner 
adverXsing 
allows 
for 
broad 
and 
narrow 
targeXng 
opXons 
including: 
website 
domains, 
customer 
demographics, 
contextual 
or 
content 
based 
keyword 
targeXng 
and 
topic 
targeXng. 
Ad 
images 
and 
copy 
can 
be 
modified 
to 
target 
customers 
at 
any 
stage 
of 
the 
buying 
cycle. 
A 
majority 
of 
display 
ads 
are 
used 
to 
drive 
brand 
awareness 
using 
“click 
bait” 
imagery 
paired 
with 
calls 
to 
acXon 
that 
provoke 
a 
landing 
page 
conversion. 
Display 
adverXsing 
is 
most 
effecXve 
when 
targeXng 
abandon 
carts 
through 
remarkeXng 
(specific 
ads 
shown 
to 
site 
visitors 
who 
completed 
or 
didn’t 
complete 
an 
acXon 
on 
the 
site, 
such 
as 
a 
conversion). 
Display 
adverXsing 
is 
one 
of 
the 
oldest 
forms 
of 
online 
adverXsing 
and 
is 
therefore 
frequently 
ignored. 
Expect 
lower 
conversion 
rates 
from 
standalone 
banner 
ads. 
Conversions 
are 
much 
higher 
when 
display 
ads 
are 
paired 
with 
remarkeXng 
campaigns. 
Cost 
per 
thousand 
impression 
(CPM) 
is 
the 
most 
common 
bidding 
model 
for 
display. 
Email 
Marke5ng 
Email 
markeXng 
occurs 
when 
a 
business 
sends 
a 
promoXonal 
message 
to 
a 
list 
of 
subscribers. 
Email 
markeXng 
helps 
businesses 
stay 
connected 
with 
customers 
while 
further 
promoXng 
products 
and 
the 
business. 
TargeXng 
opXons 
are 
possible 
through 
segmentaXon 
of 
lists 
that 
can 
include 
demographic 
filters, 
psychographic 
filters, 
observed 
and 
predicted 
behavioral 
acXons. 
Email 
markeXng 
should 
be 
adopted 
by 
all 
brands 
in 
the 
conversion 
and 
engagement 
shopping 
cycles. 
IntegraXon 
of 
email 
markeXng 
into 
larger 
web 
markeXng 
and 
content 
markeXng 
strategies 
is 
criXcal. 
SegmentaXon 
of 
subscribers 
helps 
deliver 
targeted 
messaging 
that 
increases 
click 
through 
rates. 
Campaigns 
should 
focus 
on 
the 
shopping/buyer 
cycle 
from 
brand 
awareness 
to 
conversion 
to 
engagement 
to 
advocacy. 
Email 
markeXng 
is 
most 
effecXve 
when 
subscribers 
have 
opted-­‐in 
to 
lists. 
Otherwise 
spam 
can 
be 
triggered, 
prevenXng 
future

from

searched 
an 
ad 
can 
appear

Keywords 
allow 
paid 
search 
to 
be 
targeted 
with 
extreme 
precision

any 
type 
of 
demographic 
or

all 
stages

(PLA’s) 
are 
image

for 
each 
phase 
of 
the 
buying 
cycle 
with 
opXmized 
keywords, 
copy 
and

Cost 
per 
acquisiXon 
(CPA), 
cost 
per

and 
cost 
per 
thousand

(CPM). 
Depending 
on 
the 
bidding 
model

Pinterest 
pins

Promoted

Pinterest

Overview 
When 
to 
Use 
Expected 
Metrics 
Press 
Release 
A 
press 
release 
is 
an 
official 
statement 
or 
arXcle 
that 
can 
be 
uXlized 
as 
a 
tool 
to 
reach 
both 
news 
outlets 
and 
consumers. 
TargeXng 
is 
more 
broad 
then 
other 
forms 
of 
online 
adverXsing 
and 
primarily 
depends 
on 
the 
channel 
or 
news 
outlet. 
Audiences 
can 
be 
targeted 
by 
demographics 
and 
psychographics, 
based 
on 
the 
readership 
of 
the 
outlet. 
Implement 
press 
announcements 
into 
a 
content 
markeXng 
strategy. 
Bring 
acenXon 
to 
announcements 
that 
are 
newsworthy 
and 
Xmely 
such 
as 
industry 
awards, 
expansion, 
new 
products 
and 
services, 
acquisiXon, 
and 
more. 
Press 
releases 
can 
be 
measured 
through 
the 
a 
submission 
plasorm 
(e.g. 
PR 
Web) 
which 
offers 
impressions, 
reads 
and 
clicks 
to 
any 
links. 
Press 
releases 
primarily 
drive 
brand 
awareness. 
PR 
can 
be 
further 
measured 
by 
online 
pickup, 
journalist 
inquiries 
and 
more. 
Snapchat 
Snapchat 
is 
a 
photo 
messaging 
service 
that 
allows 
users 
to 
send 
pictures, 
video, 
text 
and 
drawings 
to 
other 
users. 
Auer 
the 
“snap” 
is 
viewed, 
the 
picture 
is 
then 
deleted 
from 
the 
viewer’s 
phone. 
Snapchat 
is 
in 
an 
early 
phase 
of 
adverXsing. 
Businesses 
and 
brands 
do 
not 
have 
many 
targeXng 
opXons, 
unless 
they 
connect 
with 
regular 
Snapchat 
users. 
Select 
brands 
are 
tesXng 
Snapchat 
stories, 
image 
slideshows 
and 
videos 
available 
for 
24 
hours 
to 
a 
brand’s 
followers. 
SnapChat 
is 
a 
new 
and 
unique 
adverXsing 
plasorm 
which 
can 
increase 
brand 
awareness 
and 
engagement 
through 
organic 
followers. 
Example 
cases 
to 
use 
Snapchat 
include 
during 
contests, 
sneak 
peeks, 
coupon 
offers, 
and 
behind 
the 
scenes 
exclusives. 
Snapchat 
has 
fewer 
metrics 
then 
many 
other 
paid 
media 
plasorms. 
Brands 
that 
share 
Snapchat 
stories 
can 
measure 
views 
and 
offline 
engagement. 
TwiUer 
Twicer 
is 
a 
microblogging 
plasorm 
that 
allows 
anyone 
to 
begin 
and 
lead 
conversaXons, 
as 
well 
as 
directly 
interact 
with 
other 
users, 
companies 
and 
brands. 
Audiences 
can 
be 
targeted 
on 
Twicer 
based 
on 
interests, 
geography, 
gender, 
device, 
or 
users 
similar 
to 
exisXng 
followers. 
Companies 
can 
adverXse 
on 
Twicer 
in 
only 
two 
ways, 
through 
promoted 
accounts 
and 
tweets. 
Twicer 
can 
be 
used 
by 
brands 
to 
increase 
awareness 
and 
is 
ideal 
for 
content 
marketers. 
Twicer 
is 
a 
long 
term 
conversion, 
and 
can 
be 
effecXve 
when 
integrated 
with 
content 
markeXng, 
broadcast 
media 
and 
print 
campaigns. 
Implement 
Twicer 
adverXsing 
only 
if 
acXve 
on 
the 
plasorm 
with 
a 
significant 
number 
of 
followers 
and 
tweets. 
Twicer 
allows 
for 
brands 
to 
get 
messages 
and 
accounts 
in 
front 
of 
users 
that 
aren’t 
followers, 
building 
a 
community 
and 
word 
of 
mouth. 
AdverXsing 
formats 
primarily 
drive 
traffic 
and 
engagement 
within 
the 
Twicer 
ecosystem, 
making 
offline 
conversions 
difficult 
to 
generate. 
Payment 
is 
delivered 
only 
when 
users 
follow 
an 
account 
or 
retweet, 
favorite, 
reply, 
or 
click 
on 
a 
promoted 
tweet.

  • 22. Digital Space Consul5ng | Media Matrix Plasorm Overview When to Use Expected Metrics Content Marke5ng Content markeXng involves the distribuXon of relevant, consistent content to a clearly defined audience. It gives brands the opportunity to share stories and solve customer problems. Content markeXng can take on many forms including: interacXve tools, web applicaXons, long form arXcles, blog posts, infographics, research, reviews or videos. TargeXng involves a deep understanding of the customer combined with keyword research. Content markeXng is ouen the vehicle brands use to influence organic search results, capture website traffic and become an authority. First, gather demographic, psychographic and behavioral data on the customer and understand where and how they interact with your product or service online. Next, idenXfy a problem that is unsolved or solved poorly via current content. OpXmize the soluXon for the customer and get it visible adopXng social media markeXng and other paid and organic channels to drive awareness. Content markeXng should be used to build a community, increase brand awareness and long term conversion. It is ouen integrated with other plasorms for maximum reach and market penetraXon including press releases, email markeXng and social media adverXsing. Content markeXng is more difficult to hold to an ROI standard, yet web analyXcs can track conversions, traffic and shares. Display Adver5sing Display adverXsing is a graphical adverXsement that can appear in a variety of sizes and animaXons, placed next to content on a vast network of websites opted in to display banner ads. Display or banner adverXsing allows for broad and narrow targeXng opXons including: website domains, customer demographics, contextual or content based keyword targeXng and topic targeXng. Ad images and copy can be modified to target customers at any stage of the buying cycle. A majority of display ads are used to drive brand awareness using “click bait” imagery paired with calls to acXon that provoke a landing page conversion. Display adverXsing is most effecXve when targeXng abandon carts through remarkeXng (specific ads shown to site visitors who completed or didn’t complete an acXon on the site, such as a conversion). Display adverXsing is one of the oldest forms of online adverXsing and is therefore frequently ignored. Expect lower conversion rates from standalone banner ads. Conversions are much higher when display ads are paired with remarkeXng campaigns. Cost per thousand impression (CPM) is the most common bidding model for display. Email Marke5ng Email markeXng occurs when a business sends a promoXonal message to a list of subscribers. Email markeXng helps businesses stay connected with customers while further promoXng products and the business. TargeXng opXons are possible through segmentaXon of lists that can include demographic filters, psychographic filters, observed and predicted behavioral acXons. Email markeXng should be adopted by all brands in the conversion and engagement shopping cycles. IntegraXon of email markeXng into larger web markeXng and content markeXng strategies is criXcal. SegmentaXon of subscribers helps deliver targeted messaging that increases click through rates. Campaigns should focus on the shopping/buyer cycle from brand awareness to conversion to engagement to advocacy. Email markeXng is most effecXve when subscribers have opted-­‐in to lists. Otherwise spam can be triggered, prevenXng future campaigns from ever being delivered. Email campaigns can be used to generate new leads, build customer loyalty or contribute to brand recogniXon and site click-­‐through-­‐rates
  • 23. Digital Space Consul5ng | Media Matrix Plasorm Overview When to Use Expected Metrics Facebook Facebook is the most popular social networking site used by approximately 1 billion people. AdverXsements are available in a variety of formats and sizes and appear on the side of a user’s page and directly within news feeds. With Facebook ads, businesses can target audiences more deeply then other ad plasorms including: gender, locaXon, age, likes and interests, workplace, educaXon, even relaXonship status. Facebook ads are primarily used to increase awareness for B2C brands, although all stages of the shopping cycle are possible to target. Integrate Facebook into larger campaigns and content markeXng strategies that accomplish one of the following objecXves: Brand pages can be promoted on Facebook in news feeds to increase likes, brand awareness and engagement. Adroll remarkeXng can be used to effecXvely target abandoned cart or missed conversions through news feed and sidebar ads on Facebook. Ad formats that allow for product purchases without ever leaving the site are also possible on Facebook. Facebook is considered one of the most expensive social adverXsing plasorm, which is acributed to its ability to deliver hyper targeted ads combined with advanced social metrics. Facebook allows for cost-­‐per-­‐thousand impressions (CPM), cost-­‐per-­‐click (CPC), cost-­‐per-­‐acXon (CPA) and cost-­‐per-­‐like (CPL) bidding applied to a growing number of ad formats. Cost-­‐per-­‐like is unique to Facebook which can occur on ads, promoted posts and pages. Typical outcomes of Facebook adverXsing include increased likes and a variety of offsite acXons at every stage of the shopping cycle. Instagram Instagram is a photo and video sharing social network. From a paid media stand point -­‐ Instagram only offers sponsored posts to select brands and is in a slow rollout phase to the general market. Instagram is ideal for B2C brands targeXng teens and young adults as the plasorm skews young. It is also an effecXve plasorm to share brand stories and personality. Instagram offers CPM (cost-­‐per-­‐thousand) bidding models to select brands to drive awareness and profile engagement. LinkedIn LinkedIn is a plasorm for professionals from all around the world to connect, network and share content with others in their industry. Individuals and businesses can target audiences based on job Xtle, funcXon, school, industry, company size, seniority, age range, gender, LinkedIn Groups and more. LinkedIn is effecXve at generaXng leads for B2B brands and for recruiXng. Ad formats include text based ads, image ads, video ads, sponsored InMail and sponsored updates. Sponsored updates are one of the more effecXve paid adverXsing opportuniXes on LinkedIn. Updates on company brand pages are promoted to a targeted audience, driving visits, downloads, followers and social metrics. LinkedIn ads offer cost per click (CPC) and cost per thousand impression (CPM) adverXsing models. Image, text and video ads ouen receive low CTR and are ignored by a majority of site users. Sponsored updates receive more engagement and appear directly on the LinkedIn home screen. Increase brand awareness, whitepaper downloads and long-­‐term engagement through this form of LinkedIn adverXsing.
  • 24. Digital Space Consul5ng | Media Matrix Plasorm Overview When to Use Expected Metrics Paid Search If a targeted keyword is searched an ad can appear next to or above search engine results. Keywords allow paid search to be targeted with extreme precision to any type of demographic or customer. Some targeXng opXons include: keywords, locaXons, specific days of the week, hours in a day, or different placements or devices. Google and Bing receive 87% of all search traffic in the U.S. (with Google Adwords being the most popular paid search plasorm). Paid Search is effecXve at all stages of the customer buying cycle, but especially research and conversion. Long tail keywords save budget and target the research phase. Product LisXng Ads (PLA’s) are image and product descripXon ads that appear for keywords aligned with the buying cycle. Deploy separate ad campaigns for each phase of the buying cycle with opXmized keywords, copy and landing pages. Google Adwords allows for several bidding models: Cost per acquisiXon (CPA), cost per click (CPC) and cost per thousand impressions (CPM). Depending on the bidding model and buying cycle targeted, AdWords can drive targeted website traffic, convert new customers and increase brand awareness cost effecXvely. Pandora Pandora Internet Radio is a streaming music service that lets users pick a song or arXst, with the service building a playlist with similar music. Types of adverXsements range from video, audio, banners, to an animated overlay. Audiences are targeted and segmented by age, gender, locaXon, music preferences, interests and psychographics. Best suited for B2C brands targeXng customers in the research and engagement stage. Users are on the plasorm for entertainment. Brands that can align products/services to the listening experience fare best. TargeXng on Pandora is advanced with bidding models based on impressions and clicks. Expect higher in-­‐store traffic, a liu in site visits for a campaign and increased engagement. Pinterest Pinterest allows users to have a visual bookmark of stuff they find on the web. Only recently introduced, Pinterest allows for adverXsers to promote pins. With promoted pins, brands can set a target audience, easily track analyXcs and pay only when users click through to a site. Ideal adverXsing plasorm for retail and online retailers. The plasorm is heavily skewed towards women allowing for certain brands to reach niche, targeted audiences. Image driven, effecXve Pinterest pins can include recipes, high quality product images and infographics. Promoted pins work best for established Pinterest businesses with complete profiles, boards and acXve engagement. TesXng images and messaging organically is cost effecXve before rolling out to promoted pins. Pinterest promoted pins target users on the plasorm, but through a cost-­‐ per-­‐click model, adverXsers pay only when users click through to the website. AdverXsing on Pinterest can lead to increased brand awareness, higher in-­‐store traffic, increased followers, website traffic and even conversion.
  • 25. Digital Space Consul5ng | Media Matrix Plasorm Overview When to Use Expected Metrics Press Release A press release is an official statement or arXcle that can be uXlized as a tool to reach both news outlets and consumers. TargeXng is more broad then other forms of online adverXsing and primarily depends on the channel or news outlet. Audiences can be targeted by demographics and psychographics, based on the readership of the outlet. Implement press announcements into a content markeXng strategy. Bring acenXon to announcements that are newsworthy and Xmely such as industry awards, expansion, new products and services, acquisiXon, and more. Press releases can be measured through the a submission plasorm (e.g. PR Web) which offers impressions, reads and clicks to any links. Press releases primarily drive brand awareness. PR can be further measured by online pickup, journalist inquiries and more. Snapchat Snapchat is a photo messaging service that allows users to send pictures, video, text and drawings to other users. Auer the “snap” is viewed, the picture is then deleted from the viewer’s phone. Snapchat is in an early phase of adverXsing. Businesses and brands do not have many targeXng opXons, unless they connect with regular Snapchat users. Select brands are tesXng Snapchat stories, image slideshows and videos available for 24 hours to a brand’s followers. SnapChat is a new and unique adverXsing plasorm which can increase brand awareness and engagement through organic followers. Example cases to use Snapchat include during contests, sneak peeks, coupon offers, and behind the scenes exclusives. Snapchat has fewer metrics then many other paid media plasorms. Brands that share Snapchat stories can measure views and offline engagement. TwiUer Twicer is a microblogging plasorm that allows anyone to begin and lead conversaXons, as well as directly interact with other users, companies and brands. Audiences can be targeted on Twicer based on interests, geography, gender, device, or users similar to exisXng followers. Companies can adverXse on Twicer in only two ways, through promoted accounts and tweets. Twicer can be used by brands to increase awareness and is ideal for content marketers. Twicer is a long term conversion, and can be effecXve when integrated with content markeXng, broadcast media and print campaigns. Implement Twicer adverXsing only if acXve on the plasorm with a significant number of followers and tweets. Twicer allows for brands to get messages and accounts in front of users that aren’t followers, building a community and word of mouth. AdverXsing formats primarily drive traffic and engagement within the Twicer ecosystem, making offline conversions difficult to generate. Payment is delivered only when users follow an account or retweet, favorite, reply, or click on a promoted tweet.
  • 26. Digital Space Consul5ng | Media Matrix Plasorm Overview When to Use Expected Metrics YouTube YouTube is the most popular video sharing plasorm. AdverXsing on YouTube is accomplished through Google Adwords and ouen includes video adverXsements before videos, during videos and auer videos. In search video ads and banner ads also target users. TargeXng opXons are similar to paid search and include by topic, demographics and keywords. YouTube is the second largest search engine on the Internet. Video ads are most effecXve for B2C brands targeXng customers in the research stage. Users can be broadly or directly targeted through specific placements on other videos or channels and through keywords. Percentage of video watched is an important metric in YouTube video adverXsing. Cost per View (CPV) occurs auer 30 seconds or if the end of an ad is reached. Studies have confirmed, adverXsers gain brand awareness even before a CPV payment is ouen triggered.
