Monthly Content Creation
Editorial content calendars are created by channel, by day, highlighting key content themes. Building content to support the
overarching strategy is important, however we are nimble in adjusting schedules to layer in last-minute posts when necessary.
Blog
The blog for the brand will act as a hub for
content, helping to drive discoverability and
SEO, as well as convert social fans to
customers. Blog tactics include:
●
Ensuring all articles are optimized for
maximum search exposure
●
Integrating keywords to effectively boost
organic search results
●
Ongoing traffic to website
The Speakeasy

fun, engaging environment at Grub Burger Bar
and its fresh, homemade food
●
Utilizing custom hashtags for enhanced
traction with your audience
Social Photography

capture visually stimulating
images for use in social posting
and promotions
●
A site visit typically generates a
minimum of 50 edited photos
Social Promotions
Strategic social promotions can help the client drive
action such as community growth, engagement and
securing user-generated content.
Tactics include:
●
Structuring each promotion with a specific measurable
goal
●
Creating custom images and hashtags to be used
throughout each promotion
●
Generating content to magnify reach and visibility of
the promotion
●
Cross-promoting and advertising the content to
increase awareness and exposure

Community + Reputation Management
As engagement is the key to social success, we will:
●
Respond to comments and tweets from fans and followers
to build a dialogue on the brand’s corporate page:
○
Respond promptly to positive reviews and comments
○
Respond promptly to negative reviews and move the
conversation offline and into a private message or
email
●
Interact, re-gram and retweet persons, groups and
businesses relevant to the brand
●
Repost (with permission) inspirational stories to build a
community and find rich user-generated content
●
Monitor the brand’s reputation across relevant review
websites and alert Grub Burger Bar about activity; specific
websites to track will be determined during onboarding
Reporting
Ongoing analysis of digital key performance
metrics helps us to optimize our efforts based
on real-time data.
We will deliver the following to ensure the goals
from your strategic roadmap are being met:
●
Monthly metrics reporting and discussion to
measure the success of each social channel
●
90-day strategy check-in to ensure the
program is on course with your vision and to
analyze if the current strategy is the correct
solution for all objectives
Video Marketing
Video is a proven way to engage visitors. It can be one of the most
effective ways to tell a story that will hold a customer’s interest
along all phases of the buyer’s journey.
Additionally, YouTube is the second-largest search engine, so it’s
more important now than ever to include video in your content
marketing strategy.
