 A social media campaign is an organized process implemented by marketers across social media networking websites to drive user interests and loyalty to a brand, product, service or even a certain entity. It is strategically planned to target a certain audience and has measurable results. Marketers use multiple social media channels, including Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter and LinkedIn, to launch their campaigns.

When you start planning your social media campaign, the first thing you need to figure out is the channel, which you are going to use to run your campaign. You can choose one platform or more, but make sure that you are not posting the same content across all networks. The content, which represents the biggest share of your campaign, differs from one channel to another. In other words, the length of captions, the formatting of images, the video posts, the vocabularies and the style of writing are not the same. Every channel has its own requirements for content, which add creativity and originality, and ensure that your audiences are not bored.

Let’s check the following fascinating insights into some social media networking websites.

  1. Facebook

When you design the social media campaign, use Facebook for storytelling and longer posts to promote brand awareness. It is much better to use videos and live feeds to drive engagement.

  1. Instagram

To use this channel, your content should be suitable for mobile users. You need to make sure that it does not require complicated steps for the targeted audience to check or engage with. Although the content mostly depends on video and image posts, it should be simple as much as possible for your followers.

  1. Twitter

Deliver your key message directly to your audience and come straight to the point. Social cards, GIFs, and static images work great for campaigns on Twitter. GIFs fit in with the way users communicate on Twitter, and social cards enable your brand to share important details in a visually appealing way.

  1. LinkedIn

You need to post very specific content LinkedIn users are there to develop their career, enhance their skills, and see continuous improvement in their industries. Accordingly, your campaign should address their needs.

Businesses that want to remain on the competition scene and promote their content successfully and efficiently should consider social media marketing campaigns. They are actually appealing to both companies and consumers because of the potential for significant reach, the opportunity to communicate directly with fans and customers, the ease of sharing the content with a huge number of people, and the cost-effective nature of the process.
