WHAT THE CLIENT HAS TO SAY

Business Need

INCREASE THE SOCIAL MEDIA FOLLOWER GROWTH & ENGAGEMENT

Social Media engagement was flat. The page’s growth was stagnant, with zero reach and no visibility on social media.

STRATEGIC & CONTINUOUS TRACKING OF ALL GROWTH METRICS

The tracking of what content was doing well, the best time of the day to post, and what day of the week was the best to post was poor.

OPTIMISATION OF ALL SOCIAL MEDIA PAGES

The correct website link, category, and about us on the Facebook page were absent. It needed a setup of automated responses and chatbots for queries.

Solution

Organic Social Media

Strategic Content Plan

We devised the monthly calendar with the detailed planning of each post idea in alignment with brand voice and creative design. The posts consist of social media stories, polls, weekly tips, and quotes from an Ivanism library of 300+ quotes. Use humor and user-generated content as a tactic to improve your shares, comments, or likes.

We created and monitored branded hashtags added to measure searchability. We set up Analytics on Google and created Social Media reports weekly.

Hosting Ask Ivan Facebook live session

The event was marketed effectively through the right channels to ensure it got proper visibility and attendees. The channels include social media, newsletters, and external publications, where he contributes regularly.

Design Elements

As part of a refresh of Dr. Ivan Misner’s social media presence, the visual strategy shifted away from generic stock imagery to a more authentic, personality-led approach.

The new creative direction prioritized real images from Global Convention (GC) events, speaking engagements, and day-to-day moments from Dr. Misner’s work, creating a stronger connection between the audience and the person behind the thought leadership. By using original photos and relatable moments, the content now reflects the energy of the BNI community and reinforces Dr. Misner’s role as a mentor and networking authority.

Frequency of post

The post frequency was 3 posts/ day amounting to 90 posts in a month, and it is posted at a particular time in a day after analyzing the data.

It followed the 80/20 principle —where 80% of the social media posts either educate, entertain, or help followers solve a problem, while the remaining 20% directly promotes your business.
