No matter whether you work agency or client-side, each day or week brings new challenges in how you engage with customers, clients, supporters, members and volunteers.
In the past, social media was used as just another channel for publishing content that would engage with each of these audiences. But today, doing that alone just isn’t enough. To maximise the success of social marketing you need to become adept at integrating social media into your existing marketing programmes and strategies. In fact, you have to do more than social media. You have to do social marketing!
This FREE Vocus White Paper explores how to add social to every marketing activity in order to amplify marketing impact, drive customer, client and audience engagement as well as increasing incremental sales whilst staying within the new rules of social engagement in accordance with UK and EU laws.
The Vocus White Paper is written by Ardi Kolah, best-selling author of Essential Law for Marketers; Mark Warby QC; Jonathan Coad and Felicity McMahon who are all leading practitioners in this area and help you take the guess work out of your social marketing efforts.
This Vocus White Paper provides invaluable actionable advice including how to:
- avoid legal traps in the use of social marketing;
- ensure you and your team comply with the relevant UK and EU laws for the safe use of social marketing;
- ensure you can make statements about the competition without creating legal problems; and
- see what the future holds in the use of social media in marketing.
