Our creative and digital team leverages digital communication strategies across multiple paid and organic channels by creating interactive experiences for a targeted audience, whether that be consumer or franchise development related. For this month’s agency seminar, five members of the APPR Creative and Digital team shared the importance of organic social media and broke down how each platform can be effectively integrated into our client’s social strategy.

Creative and Digital Account Lead Marin McCall kicked off with Facebook, where users spend an average of 34 minutes per day on the platform and nearly 80% access on a mobile device. Video consistently outperforms images and text, with engagement nearly doubling that of text posts. As our clients look to grow their audience on Facebook, it’s important to consider how content appears on mobile and other content mediums to generate greater success.

Next, we heard from Creative and Digital Associate Dylan Pashke about the impact Instagram has on business accounts. With one-third of the most viewed Instagram stories coming from businesses, there is a strong opportunity for growth for our clients. In a recent update, influencers can now tag up to two brands in a sponsored post, a game-changing tactic for our influencer marketing tactics.

With much of our clients’ organic and paid social work focused on LinkedIn, Senior Creative and Digital Account Lead Spencer Abbott shared that people-centric content outperforms the rest. Content posted from personal profiles see 1.5 to 2 times the reach of the same posts from company pages. The greatest takeaway: posting more often from personal profiles and encouraging franchisees to share company blogs, photos and their experiences.

As the latest and continuously evolving social platform, TikTok is a break-out star, with 689 million active users worldwide. Creative and Digital Account Lead Jonathan Bazar shared how TikTok is shaking up social media with its worldwide presence and ability to connect with its audience on a more personal, relatable level.

Katie Lynn Rada, Digital Marketing Lead, jumped in with Google, which generates 93% of all web traffic. On the first page alone, the first five organic results account for 67% of all the clicks, proving that SEO and applicable website content are key to get stronger rankings and traffic.

As an agency, we take a proactive role in promoting social media engagement. Throughout the week, each employee engages with a client’s social account outside of their organic social media calendar, with links to secured press, content marketing pieces or national holiday spotlights.
