Case Study Session: Strategize Bold, Execute Smart
1:00 PM-2:00 PM EST
- We’re talking bold social media strategy today. What makes a strategy bold? Making a plan for something you’ve never done before, executing smart and getting the results you aimed for.
- At Filene, Holly Fearing, Social Media Advisor, was brought on to help credit unions implement social media strategies, better communicate messages and achieve desired outcomes. It only took a short time for Filene to realize they didn’t have a social media strategy that did that for themselves. In a “taking our own medicine” moment, we turned our efforts inward and built a social media strategy to get after our goals – and not surprisingly, we began to see the right results. It goes without saying that to capture the elusive social media ROI, one must first build a bold strategy to get there.
- A shining example of just that: Heartland Credit Union in Madison, WI. To say they went “all in” on social media would be an understatement. Robin Marohn, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development, will share Heartland’s story of how they built a bold strategy and the amazing success it has brought.
- We hope you’ll be inspired to be bold, not boring, with your strategies from here on out. Who says financial institutions aren’t sexy?
