FAQs

To find a social media strategist who understands your brand voice, look at their past work. Check their portfolio for projects that align with your brand's style. You could also ask if they have experience in your industry or with similar audiences.
When creating a project brief, be clear about your goals and what you want the strategist to achieve. Mention any key messages or themes you want in your content. Also, include details about timelines and expected deliverables like content calendars or reports.
Ask the strategist to describe how they approach understanding an audience. See if they ask you about your current audience or use analytics to learn more. A good strategist should tailor their methods to reach and engage your target audience.
The right platforms depend on where your audience spends their time. Discuss with the strategist which platforms align best with your goals. They should know the strengths of each platform and suggest the ones that can drive the most engagement.
Results can vary, but it's important to set realistic expectations. The strategist should mainly focus on improving engagement, growing followers, or whatever your specific goals are. Agree on clear metrics for success, like engagement rates or conversions.
Frequent communication helps ensure everyone is on the same page. Set up a regular schedule for updates, like weekly meetings or reports. Good communication will help you track progress and make necessary adjustments promptly.
Flexibility is important in any project. Discuss with the strategist how changes might affect timelines and deliverables. Clear communication will ensure that updates are managed smoothly, benefiting your overall project goals.
Review their previous campaigns to see if their style matches what you're looking for. Consider asking for a small sample of their work tailored to your brand. This can help assess their compatibility before making a full commitment.
Yes, providing background information can be helpful. Share any brand guidelines, previous social media content, or audience demographics. This will give the strategist a solid foundation to create content that aligns with your brand.
Set clear goals from the outset and ensure the freelancer understands them. Regular check-ins can help you monitor their progress and keep them aligned with your objectives. This ongoing alignment can lead to the successful execution of your social media strategy.
