Community Management: In my role as Executive Director at Vine and Branches Stories, I led the management of social media communities across platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, engaging with followers. My approach focused on fostering meaningful interactions, building relationships, and addressing feedback promptly.
​
I implemented a proactive strategy for responding to comments, messages, and inquiries, ensuring timely and personalized responses to maintain a positive brand image. During crises or negative feedback situations (which have not been frequent), I leveraged a transparent and empathetic communication style, acknowledging concerns, addressing issues, and providing solutions publicly when appropriate and via direct messages for more sensitive matters.
​
Analytics and Insights
I am proficient in using social media analytics tools such as Facebook Insights, Twitter Analytics, Instagram Insights, and Google Analytics to track performance, analyze data, and derive actionable insights. For instance, I utilized Facebook Insights to identify peak engagement times and content preferences among our audience, optimizing posting schedules and content strategies accordingly. This led to a 25% increase in engagement and a 15% growth in follower base within three months.
​
Paid Advertising
I have experience managing social media advertising campaigns, including paid promotions, sponsored posts, boosted content, ad targeting, budget management, and ROI analysis. One successful campaign involved promoting a series of new stories that had recently been posted to the app and website. By leveraging detailed audience targeting and A/B testing ad creatives, we achieved a 40% increase in app downloads and website traffic.
Influencer Collaborations
As part of our marketing strategy, I collaborated with influencers in our industry to reach a wider audience and drive engagement. For example, partnering with other story ministries led to a collaborative cohort forming, and we have all begun to share and endorse one another’s content on our social media pages.
