Mixing it up on Twitter

B2B social media content marketing offers so many perspectives if just a little thought is invested. Our strategy for Twitter at Hoyne was to show a breadth of knowledge and interests. We researched industry news, actively instigated thought leadership conversations, demonstrated our ability to connect to communities, celebrated case-studies and acknowledged individual achievements. All this within the space of a week. All businesses can drive this with the right team, resources and tools. Be sure to remain mindful of messaging across your channel mix to keep things focused.
