From One to a Million: Managing Social Media at Scale
13 likes•15,965 views
This document summarizes the challenges of managing social media at scale. It discusses moving from managing one account to millions, and outlines strategies for structure, community management, content, and measurement. Structure requires deciding on centralized vs decentralized control. Community management involves scaling one-on-one interactions while maintaining relationships. Content requires understanding objectives, channels, and executing rigorously. Measurement focuses on the right metrics and connecting them to objectives to generate insights. The key is having a full-program approach that ties measurement to objectives, plans, execution, and assessment.
