- Content - with the convergence of information and communication, brands and companies need to have content to engage with social media users.
- The visual - businesses need to have a visual voice, strategy and content.
- Mobile - the more active a business becomes in the social media space, the more mobile-ready its website/digital assets must be.
- Process - a company's social media program has to be defined by process and always optimised.
- Advocacy - advocacy will allow an organisation to scale, gain access to, and generate brand awareness from networks and communities.
- Ownership - this involves ownership by the brand or business of the content, strategy and social media process employed.
- Education - focus more on social media education and raising the social media literacy of employees.
- Paid social - allocate resources towards paid social in order to amplify content, build brand awareness, bring users into the social media funnel and augment all social media efforts.
