Linkedin is great for sparking professional dialog and sharing technically specific information about what your company does to reach companies in search of your expertise.

Instagram excels in the ability to interact, where with the help of our B2B social media marketing agency, companies can share clients' stories as a way of promoting their brand and the partnership they share, and vice versa.
As a network-oriented website, Facebook is great for building a community through shareable content, brand pages, groups and profiles. An attractive function is that the site lets its 2.5 billion active users share your content with their network, a large number of potential buyers of your website.
Facebook grants opportunities to reach existing and potential buyers through posts and sponsored ads that are constantly re-targeted along with the users behaviour on the platform. Further, Facebook allows for geotargeting, which is defined as sharing content to specific locations exclusively.
Marketing on TikTok is a new experience that uses media features to create playful content. For instance, you can use banner ads and hashtags to bring people to your website to buy from your webshop.

This is done by setting up in-feed challenges with features helping the users land on your page.
Youtube is a valuable marketing tool because the content submitted can be shared on other channels the company is using.

Next, who are you targeting in order to reach your goals? While you have a general audience, the trick is to look beyond that and establish a clear-cut frame for the audience you want to reach. To succeed with SoMe marketing, know specifically who your ideal client is. This lets you better understand the target audience’s interests, needs, social media consumption patterns and preferred information tactics.
Getting back to the ‘how’, what kind of SoMe content is fitting for your brand? Try to stay open towards less traditional strategies as it could highlight your uniqueness. We help you determine which platforms serve your business best so that you stay where you need to be based on where your audience is. We also help determine the mood of your marketing from hard-hitting, informative content to stimulating content with playful undertones in order to humanize your brand. This step is about defining the voice you adapt when speaking to your audience.
With years of experience as a B2B digital marketing agency in the Danish and International markets, we work with documenting and structuring SoMe content based on how often you want to post. To keep track of social media consistency, we help create a content calendar that contains planned content across all channels, tracking of existing posts and let’s you locate older content in the calendar archive. The structuring includes information streams on each channel based on whether they interact across all platforms or if all platforms contain the same information, possibly shared in different ways (text, images, videos, live streams or infographics). We also look into posting times to find when you establish the most reach.
Getting the full experience of what you can obtain using SoMe marketing tools does mean spending some money on business accounts, media ads and promotions as well as business premiums and subscriptions. In preparation for implementing social media to your marketing strategy, a vital step is to establish the digital marketing budget. If we focus on cost-per-click, the cost for SoMe marketing looks on average like this:
A useful way to correspond your social media accounts with current marketing is sharing existing ads and commercial content directly onto your social media platforms.
This means that you do not necessarily have to start out with completely new material, as existing material from former marketing initiatives may very well appeal to your social media audience as well. This idea works throughout your path of marketing on digital platforms. You can always share new content simultaneously with other ad campaigns.
SoMe marketing also works well for playing with other types of content methods whilst still sharing the same message. While ad campaigns may show pictures and written paragraphs, a playful way to correspond your digital media content to these campaigns could be to share short videos and infographics.
As a ppc management agency, one of the most important ways to create a seamless customer experience is through social media. By using ad campaigns for information and social media for stimulating interaction around that information, you can engage with your target audience and create a truly seamless customer experience. Additionally, by posing questions that spark interest among your target groups, you can maximize the potential of your paid ads and create a truly engaging online presence.
