Social Media Marketing (SMM)

Social media marketing (SMM), is defined as “the use of social media, such as Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and TikTok, as a promotional channel to build brand awareness, create engagement, and drive business growth through both organic and paid content.”

Social media marketing, or SMM, is considered to be one of the most direct ways a brand can connect with its customers. In fact, there are more than 5.17 billion people who use social media around the world, and the average time spent on social media per individual is nearly 2.5 hours a day. In all of our experiences working with social media for a number of different industries, the key to success is consistency and content specific to your audience, not going for a “viral” approach.

How Does Social Media Marketing Work?

A successful SMM strategy incorporates both organic content strategy and paid social advertising. For instance, each platform such as Meta (Facebook & Instagram), LinkedIn, TikTok, and YouTube has its own algorithms, audience demographics, and content formats. According to industry standards, organizations that post content consistently and engage with their audience can expect up to 6 times higher engagement rates compared to those that do not post content consistently.
