A holistic approach
Social media is the perfect tool for gaining a better understanding of your audience, and a clearer idea of what they want and expect from your business. Truly effective social media marketing cannot be completed in isolation from other digital channels. This is why we take a holistic approach to social media, integrating it with all aspects of marketing – something we can do completely in-house. We work with our Content Marketing teams to craft compelling content and storytelling narratives your audience will relate to. We pair this with brilliantly designed assets from our Creative team, who are experts in using the power of branding, visual design and videography to make connections in the social space.
We’ll also work closely with our SEO specialists to amplify your best content and drive relevant traffic to your website.
Our approach to social media
The world of social media moves quickly, so your social media activity needs to be agile, strategic and data-driven. With our approach, it all starts with a business objective – be it brand awareness, lead generation or online sales. Once we’ve determined this, our team of experts will create a bespoke social media strategy for your account. This means working with you to select the most effective platforms and activities to reach your audience and ultimately fulfil your objective.
Solid relationships with the major platforms
As a leading social media agency, we have established relationships and regular communications with all the major channels, including Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, TikTok and Pinterest. Our team of experts regularly visit HQs and work hard to nurture these relationships.
This direct link means that we get insider info into best practices and new innovations, as well as access to data that we can use to inform and optimise your campaigns.
Always bespoke to your audience
When you truly understand your audience, your influencing power skyrockets. We get to the core of your audience’s needs using industry tools to research the types of content they interact with and where they spend their time online. This allows us to build content into our campaigns that we know your audience wants. We’ll also use our findings to extend your reach beyond your normal audience and remarket to people who have interacted with your content in the past.
The key thing is that our activity is always bespoke to your audience – we’ll never use a one-size-fits-all approach or copy and paste templates like other agencies.
Fusing the creative and the experience
As industry experts, we know it’s not enough to simply have some good-looking assets and nice copy in your inventory. What’s just as important is understanding how and when people are exposed to your content. Our creative team design assets that will influence your customers’ decision making and drive action further down the funnel.
Ultimately, we build strategies that blend the creative with the experience by producing content that connects with your audience on an emotional level.

What metrics do you focus on and how do you measure ROI on social media?
It’s not enough to simply focus on follower growth or likes in order to measure your success or ROI. Instead, you’ll need to first determine your KPIs to decide how to measure success. For example, if you were looking to build awareness, we would look to improve the number of impressions and reach, while, for those looking to improve their revenue, sales or sign-ups would then be the ultimate goal.

Knowing what to post on social media channels comes down to truly understanding your audience – what they’re interested in, what types of content they interact with most and what conversations they’re having online. At Hallam, we spend time looking into the analytics of your social media accounts and testing a variety of content to determine what your audience engages with the most.
