Core Analysis – channel, target group and competitor analysis with subsequent consultation and goal setting. Broadly speaking, it’s about making a basic analysis (as-is/target). Where are your social media activities in their current state and what should an optimal target state for your brand and products look like? We bring these findings simply and clearly for you, for managers and employees, into a customized roadmap for implementation.
Roadmap: Strategic / operational guide
Guide – Social media goals and production strategy development, personal and on-site. The roadmap includes concrete action steps, depending on the scope of the consultation, clearly or already elaborated in detail, with strategy, community, ads, etc. On the basis of these checklists, you can expand your performance in social networks. Always with a view to the level of knowledge of employees and / or managers. Simply put: Are we still talking about the “social media marketing mix” (individual social networks) or are we already talking about “dark posts” for social media ads (advertisements) in the consultation?
Strategy: Plan and achieve objectives
Objective – social media concept, production and editorial plan from a single source. From this social media roadmap, you can derive concrete concepts, methods and a social media strategy for your brand or your individual product or product range.
A strategy then includes the following aspects, for example:
Set goals
Select platform
Define target group
Metrics for verification (KPI)
Formulate guidelines
Guidelines for employees and agencies
Formulating guidelines means generally applicable rules for all employees and also external agencies (advertising, PR, other consultants, etc.). Guidelines give your social media marketing the right framing for content and community.
Strategy is not only about creatives (creative content), above all it is about planning and implementation. That’s why all goals are always structured according to the well-known Smart Principle. You may already know this from marketing.
Smart means:
S = Specific
M = Measurable
A = Attainable (realizable)
R = Relevant
T = Time based (terminated)
Community: management and brand fans
Community – Community management ensures organic reach and creates brand fans. Reading tip: Community Management.
Interaction: content and reactions
Interaction – Within your own community, it’s all about one thing, regular interaction to drive engagement. Simply put, this means regular postings (publications) and subsequent reactions from your community and third parties. Always be mindful of personality and authenticity, because as a brand, it’s not about advertising! Also, reactions from your community should not go unanswered, so value feedback and interact with it, it shows appreciation towards your active community.
Partnerships: Authentic, Reaching New Circles
Partnerships – In order to promote one’s own reach, and thus one’s own attention and interaction at the same time, it is profitable to think about partnerships. For example, through nearby people, such as employees (positive mentions from company parties to recruiting), but also external, for example influencers or cross-industry, e.g. travel companies and insurance companies.
Tools: Software for monitoring
Tools – The use of social media software allows you to measure and review the previously established metrics. In the process, you should not only receive positive feedback, but also negative reactions. Accordingly, preventive, crisis management is also developed – as needed (negative comments to shitstorm).
Content: added value and attention
Content – If you’ve already read our guides on content marketing, you know how important one thing is to us: Giving users added value! As with appreciating responses, all content in content marketing should always be planned to give your community the most value possible. This will make your content relevant and interesting!
Regularity: Constant social media activities
Regular activities – In the last aspect, we will still emphasize that all these findings give up in a regular, consistent work. Because only through, regular, consistent interaction, increases your reach.
Best Practice – For beginners and newcomers who are doing social media marketing for the first time, it is also worth taking a look at best practice projects, content that is already successful. E.g. the most successful YouTube videos or TikTok videos.

Social Media Ads: Building Reach
Advertising – campaign switching, paid reach for content, dark posts and evaluation. Read Tip: Facebook Ads.
Advantages of Social Ads
Organic reach is good, paid reach is better! Why? Social networks derive their revenue and profits mainly from selling advertising content. Accordingly, reach doesn’t come “for free.” But don’t worry, social media ads can be used extremely effectively to increase your reach! Especially through targeting and re-targeting.
Create attention: Aida model
But before you can go into the depths of the matter, it’s about one thing above all: generating attention. Did you know that every single user swipes and scrolls several hundred meters through his smartphone every day? Accordingly, you only have a fraction of a second to generate attention from the user. Explained simply and quickly, we use the Aida model for knowledge transfer and implementation in your social media roadmap.
The most important thing is attention. How? An understandable scheme:
A = Attention
I = Interest
D = Desire (need)
A = Action
Still quickly, explained in advance what targeting and re-targeting mean.
Targeting – A simple definition would be, targeting people based on data. Targeting is the excellent social media marketing tool.
Surely you’ve heard that social networks are big “data octopuses”. That’s exactly how it is. Social networks know about users’ interests, know your contacts, places of residence and whereabouts, made and also just started search queries (wishes / interests). Facebook alone has an average of over 2,400 parameters per user. You can use this to your advantage!
Example – For example, imagine that you want to reach women between 30 and 34 who travel frequently (change location), are currently interested in travel destinations, and are single. Their ad would be extremely targeted and accurate! This single campaign would then have, for example, media content (texts, photos, videos) that would convey the ideal idea of this target group when it comes to recreation. Very different from men, at the same age. Just as a simple example. Or couples, or families with child, with baby….
Re-targeting – Re-targeting deals with the people who have already visited your social media channel, website or online store.
Example – A very simple example would be, a certain user was interested in a trip to Mallorca. However, the purchase was not completed, but was canceled in the shopping cart. Through the targeted tracking (via pixel), this user and his desire can be precisely identified and informed by renewed address (ad), again. This significantly increases the conversion rate (sale), since all persons are addressed again who previously made a sales cancellation. For example, simply due to time constraints.
Instead of switching to a competitor, these users are made aware of your offer again. Whether on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube or also through Google Ads and Native Apps, for example on Google (search results) or also on major magazines and online portals.
Reporting: content, community and campaigns
Evaluation – content, community and campaign analysis with subsequent monitoring and report. Reading tip: Monitoring. Don’t miss any successes or failures! By defining metrics, or key performance indicators, as early as the initial social media strategy, you can measure success. From very simple parameters, such as the number of your fans and followers, to more complex reporting and monitoring, for example for e-commerce.
Again a very big advantage, you can relate individual campaigns, directly to individual sales!
Let’s stay in the travel example, here too you can very well understand the relationship between a single campaign and a single sale. Accordingly, key figures can be calculated, which in turn contribute to optimization. This all happens in regular meetings, with your social media agency or with your internal expert.

Influencer: referral marketing
Multiplier – Brand advocates and referral marketing are a key tool in social marketing. Reading tip: Influencer Marketing.
Increasing awareness is not only possible through good content, for example content marketing, or through advertisements, i.e. paid reach, but also through brand advocates, influencers. Influencers stand especially for their personality and authenticity. Accordingly, they enjoy the trust of their community and you can use this profitably for your brand or your products.
Events: POS, trade fair & other offline actions
