Did you know that 99% of smart phone users check their phones within the first 5 minutes of waking up? Did you also know that 100% of that statement is made up? Data - I have said it before but deciphering and interpreting data is about 50% of what a marketer does in their day to day role. At least that's what it feels like! Throwing content at the wall and seeing if it sticks isn't going to work forever - if at all. Data is how we make decisions about the content our audience wants to see. A lot of it IS done through trial and error, but studying the data and trends helps us make sure that the content we are sharing resonates with our communities. Now taking the data and making it connect with your audience, that's a skill set better known as "Data Storytelling" and I like to use this in a lot of my content. Data storytelling has seen a remarkable 233% growth. Stories are 22 times more memorable than facts alone. 73.67% of individuals use data storytelling to communicate sales data. (and to be clear, THESE stats aren't made up this time 😝) Are you leveraging data storytelling in your marketing campaigns?

If someone mentions they're a lawyer, it's common to follow up with, "What type of law do you practice?" Similarly, when I say I work in marketing, a frequent response is, "Oh, you're a marketer? What type of marketing services do you provide?" Indeed, those of us in the field understand that marketing involves wearing many hats, but we also have our specialties and preferences for the types of projects we like to tackle. For example, I run my own marketing company with a focus on Search Engine Optimization, Web Design, and Personal Branding. While I do offer support in social media and data analysis (by the way, about half of a marketer’s job involves deciphering and managing data), I have specific areas where I excel. It’s crucial to identify not only what you enjoy doing but also what you do best. From there, the question becomes: Who needs these services?

I've got some good news and some bad news for you today... Starting off with the not-so-great news: The reason you're not witnessing the growth you've been hoping for on social media is directly tied to how you're approaching content pillars. If you're aiming to make a splash this year, rethinking this should be our first thing we focus on fixing. But, here's where it gets sticky... When you hit up Google in search of what content pillars are all about, you end up wading through endless definitions centered around "categories," "themes," or "topics that resonate with your audience." Notice anything missing? That's right, not a whisper about actual, measurable growth. We just can't afford to waste time on that! So, let's bid farewell to the traditional notion of content pillars. Now, think about your interactions with the brands you love on social media: There's content that grabs your attention, making you want to dive deeper into their profile. That's different from the content that convinces you to make a purchase. And then there's the content that makes you want to tell the world about this brand... The reality is, up-and-coming brands don't have the luxury of merely filling their social feeds with vague "categories" or "themes." What we need is a strategy that propels: ...demand generation (think awareness, visibility), ...sales (yep, that means revenue), ...and loyalty (securing repeat customers and sparking digital word-of-mouth). This approach not only ensures a cycle of consistent growth but also allows us to track and measure our marketing efforts down to the last detail. Now, ready for some good news? Hidden Gem has proven success in helping to generate more leads and sales for their clients through social media audits and campaign rollouts, contact us today to start strategizing your business's online growth!
