More than an underwear company.

A brand can mean something different to everyone.
Modern marketing empowers consumers by encouraging
two-way conversations instead of one-way promotions.
Social media provides a platform for companies to
inspire and cultivate these conversations.
The subsequent strategy is rooted deeply in the brand’s
five pillars and the “Show You’re Jockey” message.

Ideal Posting Times and Frequencies
Mid-week / mid-day is often the best time to post.
Paid post promotions are smart on Facebook (not yet on Instagram).
It’s possible, but uncommon, to geo-target posts.
Varying posting times will allow more engagement in the long-run.
Generally, a post per day is the maximum recommended on Facebook, Instagram, and Google+.

Brands have options when deciding who to manage social media.
Interns, contractors, or full-time employees can be responsible,
though a hybrid of the three is also common.
The responsibilities of a social media manager can be divided into
categories: creation, scheduling, listening, responding, and learning.
The following pages will outline what each activity entails, as well as,
assign to each an associated time cost value.
Keep in mind that time values may vary according to the skills and
expertise of the responsible individuals.

It is important to set SMART* goals before initiating any strategy.
As with any initiative, it is key to establish phases that are scaled to meet current and future resources.
The closer social media management is tied to e-commerce and SEO, the better a brand can ensure a positive return on investment.
Since social media’s primary benefits involve consumer loyalty, brand awareness, and ecommerce activity, results may not be immediate.
Though the online landscape will most certainly transform in the coming decade, a social media strategy will help a brand prepare for what is next.
*Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timely
