Optimising social media investment
Before we assessed the impact of social, we found it hard to make a solid business case – to the company or our franchisees – about how we were performing and what we should do as a result. By understanding what topics, issues, and types of content drive conversation and engagement, we’ve been able to fine-tune our content and engagement strategies.
