Comprehensive plan for using social media to achieve marketing objectives.

Definition

Social media marketing strategy is the comprehensive plan for using social media to achieve marketing objectives. Founders reach for it when a vague conversation needs a shared, specific meaning. Name it clearly, then let the next decision — a hire, a price, a test, or a pass — follow from that meaning.
