IDENTIFY AUDIENCE

YOU WANT TO KNOW MUCH MOREthan the demographics of the people already following your page. You’ll want to determine the makeup of your desired audience, in addition to the demographics of those who influence your desired audience. Understanding your consumer as a whole is vital to your success.

MARKET RESEARCH

EXPLORE MANY AVENUESwhen it comes to your target audience’s behavior. Of course, you want to know how they interact with your brand as well as other similar brands, but you also want to find out how they engage with other verticals, how they behave on social, basic shared values, and how they see themselves.

BRAINSTORM STORYLINES

08

LIKE WRITING A SCRIPT,brainstorm storylines those in your target audience might say or think in their everyday lives (i.e. “Today, he changed the world for one person.”) Those lines should then be divided and compiled into categories representing the identified archetypes.

CREATE DYNAMIC CONTENT

09

STORYLINES AND IMAGERYshould be married together to create powerful posts which speak directly to the values and desires of your target audience. Craft post copy with engaging questions, giving your audience an opportunity to respond to the message.

TEST & MEASURE

10

AT FIRST GLANCE,all archetypes tend to perform very well, regardless of themessage. What you may find interesting is the difference in how audiences interactwith each specific archetype. One archetype is likely togarner shares, while another will see a large number of comments. Do several months of A/B testing, andscrutinize the results with great precision.

DEVELOP CTA’S

11

BASED ON KPI’S use your discovered insights regarding how

people interact with specific archetypes to ascribe themost powerful CTA’S with each post. For example, onebrand has identified User Generated Content as a toppriority for 2017. Knowing that a Citizen Archetype wasmost likely to attract personal comments, they paired a

Citizen storyline with a picture describing what they wanted the audience to do (share pictures). The results speak

for themselves.
