Social Media Marketing
is dead

The new discipline is social media campaigning. It helps companies build their own organic reach, turn social media into a strategic business asset and become social media houses in their own right. Here’s how it works.

The party personalities
in your social media feed

Ten party personalities in a circle: the trend chaser, awareness day poster, brand guy, ad poster, entertainer, static poster, copycat, buyer, repurposer and post booster
The trend chaser

The trend chaser

She never misses a trend. She’ll jump on the bandwagon even when it’s already disappeared over the horizon. Duolingo today, Ryanair tomorrow, something involving a cucumber the day after. As long as it’s working for someone, somewhere.

“Companies today need to find new waysto reach people in a crowded feed.”

The system behind
Social Media Campaigning

Most brands struggle to get noticed in the feed. If all you do is post content, you’re interchangeable. Win people’s hearts and minds, and yours becomes the brand they talk about. The difference comes down to one discipline: social media campaigning.

Any brand can buy reach

Independent organic reach belongs to your brand. It connects you directly with the people who matter and forms the basis of social media campaigning. You can use it to build communities, gather market feedback, earn publicity, support sales and reach talent.

Social media has become
Interest Media

Platforms no longer show content primarily to followers. They show it to people who are interested in it. What matters is whether your content is relevant enough to earn their attention, rather than how many people follow your brand.

The satellite system

Today a brand needs more than one social media channel

In interest media, one channel can’t reach everyone with every topic. Each satellite speaks to a specific interest, and they all support the same brand.

Social media becomes a strategic business asset

What is the
business impact of social media?

Independent organic reach gives you a direct connection to the people who matter to your business. That leads to better market decisions, new sales opportunities, media coverage and easier recruiting. Social media shows its value when reach delivers results for the business.

Free market research – Jonboy
Free publicity – Radatz
Recruiting platform – Sepp Schellhorn

Free market research

Jonboy gets direct feedback from its community through its WhatsApp channel. The brand can ask people what interests them, what they want and what they would buy, then use the answers to make better decisions.

Free publicity

Radatz approached World Käsekrainer Day as a social-first idea. It attracted attention beyond the brand’s own channels and earned free publicity.

Recruiting platform

“Sepp, was machst du?” used organic reach to build a strong connection with its community. That attention goes beyond the content itself and makes the business attractive to potential employees too.

Sales channel

Feuerberg’s giveaway generated reach and interaction and led people straight into the booking process. A social media activity became a measurable source of bookings.

The secret behind a successful social campaign:

Social Media Campaigning
is a way of life!

  1. Social media needs to be
    a leadership priority

    If social media is going to make a difference, it deserves a place at the top of the agenda.

  2. Trust the Process:
    A marathon, not a sprint

    Building a social media house is a marathon. It doesn’t happen overnight, but you can take the first step today.

  3. The campaign needs
    everyone’s wholehearted support

    When everyone from the board to the intern embraces the campaign, inside and outside the company, it creates an energy people can feel.

Self-Check

Where do you really stand?

Four questions show you where you stand: still in social media marketing, or already moving towards social media campaigning? You’ll get your result straight away.

What is the focus of your social media content?

Think about what you usually do, rather than the exceptions.
