What is a Social Media Campaign?
A social media campaign is a planned marketing effort that uses one or more social media channels to obtain a business goal. What separates a successful social media campaign from everyday social media activity is the enhanced focus, specific targeting, and measurability that accompanies these campaigns.
Think of it like a political campaign. Candidates will establish their campaign goals and then carefully and expertly create a multistep process that will enable them to (hopefully) achieve those goals. A social media campaign is essentially the same thing.
It is when a business establishes a certain goal, such as increasing brand awareness, obtaining new followers, or boosting sales, and then puts together a solid plan to achieve that goal.
Other common social media campaign objectives may be to:
- Obtain feedback from consumers
- Increase website traffic
- Increase phone calls/leads
- Improve brand engagement
- Outperform competitors
- Convert impressions to active engagement
How To Plan a Social Media Campaign
Before you begin implementing your social media campaign, you’ll need to plan it out first. The first place you should start is by identifying a clear, measurable goal for your business. The means, message, and target audience all influence the interpretation of these goals. Different demographics have different platform and content preferences, so choose the ones that best suit your target audience.
Once you establish your goal(s), you’ll want to acquire a baseline measurement of your desired metric so you can track changes and performance throughout the campaign’s duration. Identify both where you’re at now and where you want to be by the end of the campaign. For example, if you want to increase your website traffic and are starting at an 0.7% conversion rate from your social media posts to website visits, you may establish your targeted metric (aka campaign objective) as being a 5% conversion rate.
In the planning phase of your campaign strategy, you’ll also want to be sure you have all the necessary tools in place to help track these metrics. Without a way to measure the successes or failures of your campaigns, you won’t have a clear picture of your progress. There are several social media analytics tools out there that can help you with this, but we recommend you utilize Kiopi’s built-in analytics tool.

How To Create a Social Media Campaign
Once you have a clearer picture of your goals, target demographics, and how you will go about tracking your campaign’s success, now is the time to plan a definitive content schedule. It is important that you establish strict start and end dates in order to keep track of costs and compare pre and post-campaign performance.
With a campaign duration set, you are ready to move on to the brainstorming phase. This is where you will come up with a campaign theme that adopts creative deliverables that you feel will best help accomplish your goals. The key to good brainstorming is to adopt the mentality that inspiration may come from anywhere and in any number of forms.

With this in mind, you’ll want to implement a strategy that is proven to work but is still unique to your brand—something that is new and exciting for your audience but will also resonate with them.
There are a number of different strategies you can implement when creating your social media campaign. Some examples may be promoting offers and discounts through social media advertising, organizing follower giveaways, conducting polls, or creating branded hashtags.
Another successful tactic is to share user-generated content. Encourage your consumers to send in pictures or videos of themselves using your product or service for a chance to be featured on your platform.
This can help in obtaining unique deliverables while also increasing consumer engagement.
How To Run a Social Media Campaign
Now that you have a solid idea of what you’d like your campaign to incorporate, you should either 1) create the content and deliverables and schedule them ahead of time or 2) establish dates for content creation that ensure you meet your deadlines. Whichever route you choose to take, having a social media content calendar in place can be of utmost importance.
By implementing a calendar, you can plan your content from the start of your campaign to the finish. This can help guarantee you don’t miss any key steps in your campaign while also allowing you to be more efficient with your time.
