It's important to keep your messaging and social media marketing consistent with your brand values and company goals. But how do you do this in a world where every employee, customer, client, and vendor is active on their own social media accounts? What social media policies should your organization have in place in 2021, when the lines between personal and professional are blurred more than ever? What strategies should you use to coordinate your communication across all channels? What are the essential steps in putting together a social media strategy to create content that will inform and engage your audience?
