STORYTELLING:
CONTENT
 The kinds of information you choose to highlight will
go a long way in furthering your brand.
 Move past likes and followers to engagement. It is
more meaningful.
 Think about the channel before you post the content.
 Be authentic.
 Invest in promoting content when and where it
makes sense.
 Aim for measureable results.
 Make a greater investment where you see results.

LinkedIn in some way.

improvement.
 Career page views increased 5x.
 Our reach grew with over 3,000 new followers per
