Social Media Marketing
Your business exists in the 21st century. Which likely means it also exists on a few social media platforms. And THAT means—at a bare minimum—you’re responsible for how your company presents itself in those spaces…not to mention the infinite ways to potentially leverage social for your business.
Trouble is, “social media expert” isn’t anywhere in your job description.
Well, you can take:
- A load off
- A deep breath
- A look around for something else to worry about
Because you’ve got us and social media is most definitely in our job description.

Let’s Talk Strategy
Sure, posting something is probably better than posting nothing, but content for content’s sake is never going to move the needle.
(Unless you have a needle for “how many times did we post on the company’s Facebook page this week?” And that would be a weird needle to have, right?)
Without the right social media strategy, you’re just another brand speaking aimlessly into the void. At Element 47, everything we do starts with strategy, and social media content is no different. And your social strategy isn’t truly going to shine unless it’s part of your broader marketing approach.
