5. Let Analytics Drive Your Content

Learning and understanding the content that’s working and not working for your brand plays an important role if you’re looking to build awareness.

6. Diversify Your Content Strategy

As a renowned  Digital Marketing Agency in Abu Dhabi, we are often asked by our Clients what platforms are ‘in trend’ and where they should be promoting their content.
Our answer is simple. It doesn’t matter what platform is trending, what really matters is what platform your brand’s target audience is using.
If you’re selling an anti-aging product, chances for your content to reach a larger audience are more through Facebook than TikTok which is buzzing with Millennials.
Hence, at the start,  it’s important to diversify your content strategy through videos, blogs, podcasts, social media platforms and more. Once you’ve established where your audience is engaging the most with your content, you can stick to that platform and use it to raise brand awareness. 

7. Own Branded and Non Branded Conversations

Are you only pushing out promotional posts?

How long do you think your audience is going to entertain those?

It’s always better to mix it up and provide you audience with value and promotions on the side. 

The goal here is to showcase your brand’s true values and personalities to have a better chance of connecting with your audience by building brand awareness.

8. Follow-up, don’t spam

There’s a thin line between following up and spamming your audience with too many emails or promotional content on social media. 

Send out follow-ups, but don’t over do it. 

A thorough content marketing strategy engaged the consumer more than just once, thus building brand awareness. Hence, send out follow ups but know where to stop.
