5 apps you need as a social media manager

Are you new to digital marketing or switching up positions to a social media manager? Well, here is a list of apps you should download for a successful start. Slack – Initially, Slack was listed last, but nothing is more crucial than communication with your team which is why we bumped it to the top spot. Slack allows for easy communication within your agency or department. You can also create sub-categories for anything on slack. Making sure there is fluent communication makes everything run smoother. Google apps – While many of the Google apps play an important role in digital management, for the sake of time I won’t go over every single one of them. The key Google apps we use are Google drive, Google photos, and Google My Business. These assist with organization and headache prevention, and as a social media manager, you’ll appreciate this. Snapseed – …or any photo editing app you feel works best for your market. We use a mix of Snapseed and RhonnaCollage to edit and watermark photos with our clients’ logos. If you’re on the go and can’t get back to the office to edit a photo before publishing it’s always good to double check the

3 New Social Ad Models in 2016

Marketers spent $10.10 billion on social network advertising in 2015 and they will spend even more in 2016. By 2017, digital advertising budgets are predicted to surpass television budgets. Why? Because it’s the best way to know who your consumers really are AND the best avenue to get your message in front of them in a format that they are accustomed to digesting. If you’re not already considering social advertising for 2016, you should be. Facebook Lead Ads Facebook lead ads were rolled out in mid-2015 as a quick alternative to website click campaigns that direct to lead generation landing pages. Instead of directing users to an external site to fill out a form, Facebook has offered a way to capture leads within its platform. Since Facebook already has all of your contact info, the fields of the form can be pre-populated with your info, taking not one, but two steps out of the standard lead gen process. 2016 brought two new features to this recently developed ad model – it’s now available in carousel format and offers an option to add a context card with a brief summary of what the user would be opting-in for. We expect to
