In the latest installment of our CMO Edition, Forefront Managing Partner Eric Soderberg sits down with Account Executive Victoria Sanseverino to discuss best practices for B2B fintech companies seeking to leverage social media as part of their overall marketing program.
In this episode, Victoria and Eric discuss the importance of aligning your firm’s social media content with its business goals, as well as remaining true to your brand’s values and key messages in managing your various channels. They review the most important categories of posts for B2B fintech firms, including culture highlights that drive hiring efforts, posts that address client pain points and news articles that show engagement with the industry.
They also discuss the benefits of using social planning and scheduling automation tools, such as HubSpot and Sprout Social, which provide advanced metrics that give marketers an in-depth look at how their posts are performing. From there, they can determine if their posts are resonating with their target audience and adjust accordingly.
In addition, for firms that maintain multiple social media platforms, Victoria stresses the importance of consistency – promoting a unified set of messages can successfully build your firm’s authority and optimize brand value. Overall, social media programs produce the most value when paired with content and media relations efforts, which can fuel your firm’s social posting schedule and feed into a robust overall marketing and communications program.
