Content
All social channels require content: It is the type of content and its tone that is the differentiator.
Content can make people: cry / laugh / trust you / hate you / buy from you / buy from someone else / report you…
There are no concrete rules. Content is subjective.
Think about Rihanna’s bum!
Content draws emotion – as a social media & content marketing agency, our aim is to shape that emotion.

What do our fans / followers want?
The ‘what you YOU want’ theory
@SimonJenkins09@RedRocketMedia
Incredibly engaged fan base across Twitter > Facebook > Google+
However, people are very opinionated about their dogs and thus the content
Some content was receiving negative engagement (pictures > how to > tips)
To overcome the issue, we turned our content strategy on its head
