A Common Sense Social Media Management Strategy Template

Incorporating good governance in business, government, civics, and marketing, along with a common sense approach and technical and marketing experience, I have crafted a platform template to serve as the foundation for all social media accounts I manage. This strategy focuses on growing the bottom line without compromising on the principles of supporting ethical and moral growth. Throughout the platform, I refer to these good governance principles from my ethical and moral business and civics positions relating to the marketing strategy. This approach leverages common sense, efficiency, and American ingenuity to create a thriving online presence.

While this template provides a strong starting point, I always ensure it aligns with my clients' business goals and processes. By intersecting these philosophies with each client's specific objectives, I create effective and efficient social media and SEO marketing strategies that drive success.

To harness the power of common sense and strategic thinking to elevate client social media campaigns, I focus on efficiency, transparency, and ingenuity to create a robust and thriving online presence for my clients.
