Tweet Naked: Using Social Media to Build Your Brand
Social media is one of the best marketing tools available when it comes to building and a brand. However, people and companies are missing an opportunity to connect with consumers by not utilizing it effectively.
Today’s #WorkTrends guest, Scott Levy, author of “Tweet Naked”, shared tips and tricks to help you get the most from your investment of both time and resources in social media marketing. Scott also touched on the brands that have mastered social media marketing and why we need to emulate what they do. Here are a few great takeaways shared by Scott:
- If you want to continue seeing great content on social media, reward people with likes and shares
- The brands that we should copy are the ones focusing on customer service and social listening
- Contribute – not for likes and followers – but because you genuinely want to help
The #WorkTrends conversation that ensued was insightful, especially Scott’s advice on personal branding and bringing value to a conversation online.
