Social Media Done Differently!

It's called Humanizing Your Brand Online

Have you ever heard the saying “Post on social and they will come”? Well, this is not the case. What you need to do is proactively engage with people to be seen and understood. You are at a networking event, you throw a stack of business cards in the air with great keywords on them. Does anyone come running to pick them up and discover you? Nope. Networking works better when you approach people and start a conversation. That’s what we use social media for; To be a human. 

What sets Creative Solutions apart from the others is our organic social media service (also called community management or engagement specialists). This is where we search for your target market on social media platforms, monitor your accounts daily, and send proactive direct messages to your potential customers.

 

The idea of this is to show that there are actually people behind the business. Community management is your proactive, online customer services and brand amplifier. We get more eyeballs on your accounts, build more organic awareness and humanize the brand!

Platforms that we manage: Facebook business pages, Instagram business pages, Google My Business page, Twitter, LinkedIn personal pages and LinkedIn Business pages.

IF THIS POSITION SEEMS RIGHT FOR YOU, PLEASE APPLY NOW!
