What are social media?
Social media are digital spaces for creating and sharing information, ideas, and interests, often with the purposes of self-expression, communication, and commerce.
—adapted from Wikipedia
As a service, social media management is the strategic facilitation of branded communications to promote ideas, products, and services.
Aspirations and expectations
Social media is powerful. We are what we share.
Our innate desire for expression, acceptance, and influence fuels our social interactions. It is natural to be curious about followers and likes; it’s a reflection of how we regard social status. While followers and likes are easy to see, they aren’t the true measure of success, value, or meaning.
Scenario One
For example, a small business might only have 30 social media followers. However, it could have 5 regular clients who bring in steady income, supporting 3 employees. Having more followers and likes may not tangibly impact their bottom line. Growth in social media may not be the top priority, but it can build credibility and expertise in professional relationships. What might be the best use of time and resources for a small business? Staying connected with clients on social media and understanding their needs.
Scenario Two
A statewide nonprofit may need to grow its followers into the tens or hundreds of thousands. Social capital propels volunteer-driven efforts. To achieve goals like gathering petition signatures, rallying support, and securing donations, strong online visibility and engagement are essential. Seeing someone they know take action on social media can inspire others to get involved. Here, the intended outcomes are more meaningful, such as conserving freshwater, decreasing the use of fossil fuels, or protecting prairies.
That’s why setting SMART goals for social media is so important. SMART goals are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. Careful planning increases the likelihood of satisfaction with your social media strategy and its outcomes. Along the way, we can help you focus on what matters most for the vitality of your endeavor.

If you are on social media, and you are not learning, not laughing, not being inspired or not networking, then you are using it wrong. —Germany Kent
