Social media
How much does social media matter in a B2B world? Do my customers look at Pinterest? And what is an RSS feed anyway?
If questions like this are keeping you awake at night, or even if you just want a second opinion, Arketi Group is here to help. We won’t claim to have every answer – this is the web, nobody knows everything – but we have a proven process for evaluating your company’s social media landscape so we can build and execute a plan that is right for you and the audience you’re targeting.
It starts with the Arketi Social Media MarkSM – an insightful competitive diagnostic that compares your versus your peer group’s share of online “voice” and use of social media tools and techniques.
With this in hand, we quickly move to building a social media plan that is anchored in activities most likely to produce business results, not just hype.
