The Social Amplification Engine (SAE)
The Social Amplification Engine follows a proven process to increase your visibility, grow your awareness, supercharge engagement, drive leads, and end-conversion goals. Go beyond just a single channel to take advantage of cross-channel marketing.
Following the six stages, Plumbing, Goals, Content, Targeting, Amplification, and Optimization, you can amplify what’s already working for your business.
Social media advertising is less about advertising and more about paid word-of-mouth. It relies upon the Content Marketing Engine to generate and collect authority. Relevancy is the intersection of Content and Targeting, whether Google Quality Score or Facebook Relevance Score.
The chaining of messaging is called Sequencing, also known as Marketing Automation in the email space, and People-Based Marketing by Facebook. Social strategy is the unique intersection of Goals, Content, and Targeting. They are channel and tool independent. Conversely, social media tactics change constantly can be delegated, and are repeatable. They are channel and tool-dependent, driven by checklists.
