General target audiences
The main target audiences for {client} are:• Our industry peers in digital marketing• Senior marketers• Potential employeesIn most cases, we would be speaking on an advanced marketing level. There are some cases, and some platforms, in which we may be speaking in a more introductory level. We would also speak differently on different platforms in general, which will be discussed below in the platform-specific section.
What we do NOT do
Words to avoid:• Guru• Expert• NinjaWe do, however, have expertise.• DO NOT “go negative” or get snarky. We don’t complain about
what we don’t like. We keep it positive.• ANYTIME we are referring to an incident in which people have
been hurt or killed, we will always do so with great respect for the feelings of people.
• We do not speak on political issues, unless it has been cleared within the organization.
Different Platforms• Facebook – will be used to speak to all of our audiences – but as it is
meant to show potential employees the nature of our organization, we would have more fun in this space, as appropriate.
• Twitter – we share industry knowledge, and engage in light banter. We should never appear to be “beginners.” Our Twitter account will also celebrate our employees, clients, and other people in the industry. When speaking of employees or internal events, and when space permits, we use the #usDragons hashtag.
• LinkedIn – should be more professional in nature than all of the other platforms.
• Pinterest – we should use images that help to reflect a story of a smart approach to digital marketing.
• Blog – our blog should be intelligent and thoughtful.
