Zagging: Building Advocacy Through Digital and Social Media serves as a resource manual guidebook for students, professionals, and organizational advocacy leaders looking to develop their ability to effectively manage various digital and social media communication tools during and beyond the COVID-19 Pandemic. Social media consumption and engagement experienced a meteoric increase as over 4 billion globally now use social media since the Pandemic began in March 2020.
Most of us understand that in traditional marketing, we are usually competing against organizations that sell or promote the same things you do. On social media today, we are competing against the crowded news feed, which lets everyone know what else is going on globally and in real-time. Getting noticed or grabbing attention on social media today is at a premium considering there are over 60 billion posts made every 24-hours in addition to the 4,000 to 10,000 paid ads depending on which DMA (designated market area) you reside. Taking a ‘Zagging’ approach within this guidebook will help you navigate this crowded space and become the signal within the noise.
The first step for any organization is to start by determining and answering the question, why do you need to use social media at all? What value are you looking to gain from using it? The key is to focus on what your organization is trying to achieve and determine how digital and social media strategies align by supporting your goals and outcomes.
Authors Guy Danhoff and Lauren Krebs fill the need for a central resource that includes social media marketing industry reports, practical examples with peer-reviewed academic research, and best practices serving as the foundation for strategic digital and social media planning. Zagging: Building Advocacy Through Digital and Social Media incorporates strategies and tactics of growing influence, engagement, and impact through digital and social media using data analytics and key performance indicators to support its applied approach.
