Earlier this month we were running a social media campaign at our #InfluencerSpeaks Interview series. We wanted a certain amount of traction for that event and brainstormed on different ideas. We were getting new visits every day due to these engaging interviews conducted by us. We decided on sharing the human side of the hustle in a startup like ours. We were also including sketch notes of our best-performing articles from the past. Both these new social media content strategies worked great for us. They were received well by our audience. This helped us to be consistent in who we are as a team and how we work behind the scenes of each interview.
Having a content calendar helped us automate our marketing during the whole on-going campaign.

It was a win-win for both, Us and our customers. We got time to focus on the event and they got valuable information in form of sizable chunks.
