Blog posts and videos!
What about social media posts?
Absolutely! Remember, we can create different forms of content, which should resonate with our audience. One mnemonic to remember this is 'C.A.V.E.' - Content should be relevant, Authentic, Valuable, and Entertaining.

It helps our website show up on search engines!
Great observation! SEO helps improve visibility. But what are some tactics we can use for effective SEO?
Using the right keywords!
We could also optimize our site’s structure, right?
Exactly! Remember, SEO involves both on-page and off-page tactics. To encapsulate, think of the acronym 'K.O.S.E.' - Keywords, Optimization, Structure, Engagement, which highlights our focus in SEO.
That’s helpful! I’ll remember K.O.S.E for our projects.
In summary, effective SEO drives organic traffic by optimizing our content and website structure.
Let’s talk about social media now. How do you think it adds value to our marketing strategy?
It allows us to directly interact with our audience.
Exactly! It’s about building relationships. How can we use social media to amplify our content?
We can share blog posts, videos, or even live stream events!
Right! An easy mnemonic to remember these tasks is 'S.I.M.P.L.E.' - Share, Interact, Monitor, Promote, Listen, Engage. Can anyone give an example of how this could work in practice?
We could promote a new blog post on Facebook and then interact with comments.
Exactly! In summary, social media not only promotes content but also facilitates dialogue and connection with our audience.
Attracts and engages audiences through valuable information.
Increases visibility through optimization for search engines.
Engages directly with audiences for community building.
Provides personalized communication to segmented audiences.
Expands reach through targeted ads.
Content is key, SEO is the light, Social media connects, Email keeps it tight!
Imagine a traveler seeking information (content) who stumbles upon a sign (SEO) that guides them to a friendly innkeeper (social media) who often sends them invites (email) and occasionally places ads in a local guide (paid), leading all back to a fantastic journey.
Remember 'C.S.S.E.P.' - Content, SEO, Social, Email, Paid for our strategy steps!
Use 'C.A.S.E.' for understanding channels - Content, Ads, Social, Email!
