Social media as part of B2B communications

Social media is one of the building blocks of integrated corporate communications. With our experience as a B2B agency for technology companies as well as deep familiarity with your target groups, topics, and markets, we help you set up the right social media strategy. We select the platforms that are right for your company and handle daily social media operations, community management, and refining your strategy. Of course we also create a steady stream of content — precisely tailored for the individual platform and coordinated with your specified messaging and overarching communications and business objectives.

So your company and brand will always make the right impression across every channel.

What's special about social media communications for B2B?

Social media is a very broad and rapidly changing space with lots of different platforms, apps, and tools. That's why it's essentially important for companies to first and continuously define where they should communicate and what the appropriate tools are: Which platform should be used to reach my target groups with which messages? Where will technical knowledge make a good impression? How can I influence demand and engagement? Where can I be the most effective for my brand?

Whether you are on LinkedIn, Facebook, twitter, tick-tock, Instagram, or your corporate blog or podcast — B2B social media is all about two-way conversations and openness. Companies can communicate directly with their target groups here without gatekeepers getting in the way. That's important because companies need to do more than just produce content on a regular basis, they also need to be willing to participate in conversations.

Businesses that master these channels do more than simply present their brands and products. They also have a knack for getting their target groups to engage with their brands. That’s why social media plays such a crucial role in the journey from prospect to paying and loyal customer. Straightforward messages delivered in an authentic way have the power to tip the scales towards a conversion.

B2B social media is constantly changing. Platforms that today are completely irrelevant for corporate communications can find themselves in the spotlight tomorrow. Take for instance SixDegrees.com, a now-defunct social media platform with 3.5 million users at its height. After the dotcom bubble burst, its social media patents were acquired and became the foundation of LinkedIn. That’s why companies need to continuously audit their social media strategies, analyze platforms and user behavior, and ensure they’re making the best use of their budgets.

And B2B social media is more than just external platforms. Corporate blogs and company podcasts also belong to this category.

Why is social media part of the B2B communications mix?

Platforms like LinkedIn, Twitter, and Instagram play an important role in the decision-making process of B2B customers. In addition to media relations and content marketing, companies should therefore also serve this space with professional communications so to reach the right people with the right messages. And don’t forget that social media is an important component of employer branding, employer engagement, and recruiting. It’s a place for all kinds of topics and a great way to give an authentic impression of your company to new talent.
