Episodic content marketing is content broken into bite-size pieces. The content is a story with a plot that reveals more to the viewer with each episode. It can be an effective way of storytelling that draws audiences members back for more.

Community Management.
Community management is the future of digital strategy. Why? It's the best way to connect with your audience. A community manager's job is to be the brand's tone, voice, and human element that holds it together – and carries it farther. It is also their job to project a brand's values and nurture their customers online. How is it done? Social listening. A CM will monitor industry-related keywords and hashtags that mentions your brand or industry.
Water over a rock.
Social media is all about quality of content, consistency, uniqueness, willingness to take chances, user-engagement, promotions, recognizable voice and frequency.
In that order.
This plan is affordable and can give Seco a unique stance in the category unlike anyone else. It will drive perceptions of leadership, product quality, category knowledge, perception of innovation and give your customers something to hang their hats on each week. When done correctly, you'll have people looking forward to your posts, ready to learn, laugh and share!
