Social media marketing campaigns and programs are now expected to contribute and drive business performance through the medium of various social media platforms that are available today.

Maturity models of all kind are becoming common place in the digital world helping organizations through their digital transformation process, such as the Digital Business Maturity Model devised by Gartner.

The growth in social media users over the last few years has been huge, and many organizations have struggled to keep up in understanding how they can best utilize these platforms for business growth.

With success on social media requiring change and commitment across various parts of any organization it can be tricky to understand how to best apply the right approach across all departments.

Designed to help both newcomers and experienced social media marketing teams we provide not just a benchmark for existing maturity levels but also valuable recommendations to assist in helping companies to ascend and improve their current strategies and investments. 

To get started you follow a simple online assessment that will provide you with an overview of your current status with all areas pertaining to social media marketing that covers all relevant areas of your business organization.

In addition to this we will provide you with recommendations and tips that you can follow to improve upon and leverage to assist in driving your business growth using social media marketing. 

Our assessment has provided some customers with instant opportunities for improvement which can be implemented immediately, or simply clarifies a gap in their strategies that they had not realized before. 

Organizations not currently using social media can also use this as a starting point and get a head start in understanding the best approach to take when looking to use social media for the first time in driving business online.

So, we strongly advise that you do not look at the model as simply analyzing your current social media maturity but also look to work with us in developing your strategy and investment in the right way that specifically works for your business needs and where you are today.
