Frequently Asked Questions
Should we be on every major social platform?
Our platform selection framework helps you identify which platforms align with your audience, objectives, and resources rather than pursuing an 'everywhere' strategy that typically dilutes effectiveness and creates unsustainable workloads.
How different should our content be across platforms?
Our adaptation approach recommends maintaining consistent core messaging and value while varying format, tone, and technical elements by 30-50% across platforms to respect their different cultures and user expectations.
Should we post the same content across all platforms?
Our content strategy typically recommends against identical cross-posting, instead using a 'content transformation' approach where core ideas are adapted to each platform's native formats and cultural context rather than duplicated exactly.
How do we measure which platforms are most effective for us?
Our measurement framework focuses on platform-specific objectives rather than direct metric comparisons, recognizing that each platform serves different purposes in your overall strategy rather than competing directly with each other.
