Over the last few years, I have not been active on social media or pay much attention to the use of my current platforms. But I am committed to learn how they can leverage my personal branding.

My five top strengths are restorative, developer, harmony, deliberate, & empathy. Based on these strengths, I identify myself as a problem solver, a team player and understating individual. And they inspired me to write this personal branding statement.

A great way to approach would be batching postings weekly and categorized them by content.

Story-sharing when events take place

Oversee the performance of the posts on a weekly basis to make adjustments.

In the Hoot Suite videos, I learned that the key to mastering social media is to write an effective and consistent bio including SEO-friendly keywords to reflect what your company or organization is about.  This would not only help your business to become more discoverable but also will get your targeted audience to click more through your profiles to find more what you are about.

Also, I learned the importance of mobile optimization for business pages.  Social media is often viewed and used via mobile. So, its important to have strong bios stating your mission and the benefits of buying your product or joining your cause. The Pictures above are the current mobile display of Global FC’s Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.  I would say that in all 3 platforms the organization is consistent with portraying its business logo and mission, but the Facebook page needs more polishing on its demographic information and organization description.

Facebook: Suggestion updates

te

For instance, the Facebook changes that I would implement:

• Add a more high-end cover headshot of kids with a soccer ball for the cover because that will create a direct eye connection and will encourage more interest to click into the page to find more information. Also, I have learned that you could use the cover to feature for to showcase products and events. This would be a great place for posting current soccer tournaments and events.
• Adding phone number, HQ location and hours of operation create a sense of credibility and trust to approach Global the organization.
• Adding more categories such as: charity organization, community service will increase it discoverability in search engines.
• Implementing more information about the programs that Global FC offer will communicate the benefits that the organization offer to underserved youth.
• Using the #hopeinplay hashtag in all the social platforms and encouraging followers to share their experience with the hashtag will help to create more engagement and traffic in the pages.

 

The Hootsuite Academy Videos describe the importance of social media marketing to increase brand awareness, create conversation and conversions, and build a community around your brand. I learned that social media cannot be only be used to share content of your personal interests in your social circles, but also businesses can use it as a tool to maximize their advertising value to reach their goals.

Since I am not familiar with Twitter or Pinterest, I learned that they both use tactics to increase brand exposure and build customer loyalty by engaging with customers effectively. Twitter allows businesses to have a two-way connection. One to interact within the different departments of the organization and the other to connect with customers, vendors, and partners. As for Pinterest, I learned that allows businesses to promote company culture through pins and boards of visuals that drives traffic to their website.

The client that I selected to dive into some of the social platforms as business to gain more awareness and engagement within their community is Global FC (Futbol Community).  The organization’s mission is: “use soccer as a vehicle for a transformative impact”. It supports refugee children through their relocation challenges trying to adapt into a new culture through soccer, education, and mentoring. Global FC’ current social media engagement platforms are Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Its follower numbers are as it follows:

Social Media	Followers
Facebook	1,333
Instagram	704
Twitter	230

 

Facebook and Instagram are linked together, and I can see that they have been making a post everyday this year. Twitter in engagement is lower. They only posted 5 times last month. On Facebook and Instagram, the interaction with viewers is relatively low. The have fewer likes and comments.  So, I would say that testing new ways to amplify their reach on the streams of these platforms would increase their connection with their community. For instance, I think that implementing story updates and condensing the written content on the visuals would be more appealing to viewers and the use hashtags, geotags, and mentions would specifically target the community of interest.
