A strong social media presence goes beyond marketing. It’s an opportunity to connect and engage with your audience. In other words, you can’t have a conversation with a billboard. At Captivate, we’ll help hone your voice, and provide the resources and expertise for social media community management across platforms.
These days, there’s not much difference between real life and online. What that means is your brand’s social media should be a safe and comfortable environment, one that reflects the same vibes as walking into your store. Captivate fosters that social presence, creating an opportunity to connect with your audiences, building trust and understanding of your services.
Stories are what make us human. Our team understands how to apply that concept to social media marketing by making meaningful content. We will work with you to understand your goals and then take a strategic approach, developing social content that tells your story and connects with your audience.
Social media is an excellent tool for listening to your audience. As part of management, our team tunes into shares, comments, and likes on each platform in order to understand which content performs best. This is not only a great opportunity to show your followers that you’re a real person, but it’s a form of crowd sourcing their wants and desires. Smart community management can lead to innovative business decisions.
Like all parts of a holistic social media strategy, platform specific decisions yield the most successful results. Community management is most effective when it’s targeted. Our team understands that what works for Facebook doesn’t guarantee success on Instagram. However, these platforms also benefit each other, and can prove to be testing grounds for innovative ideas. We know how to stay ahead of your competitors.

Social channel selection depends on the nature of your brand and its target audiences. Once we understand your brand and its goals, we develop specific social media channel strategies and community management workflow for your brand. We guide these plans with measurable KPIs and targeted conversion goals, across platforms including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, and LinkedIn.
While certain channels offer larger audiences and greater reach, there are often more nuanced advantages and disadvantages to each platform. We help your team weigh these decisions with tangible research and data-supported findings.

Our social media marketing and community management services are almost always team efforts.
