Below is an example of Executive Summary slides to present social media key metrics.
Campaign / Events
This section typically includes a list of events held during the reporting period, such as product launches, promotions, or live events. As you can see from the timeline infographics below, it should include a brief description of the event’s objective and outcome.
Content Overview
Content overview typically contains a table with the number of pieces of content posted in each social media channel, broken down by the content pillars.
The 5 content pillars typically refer to the different types of content that are posted on social media, such as promotional content, educational content, motivational content, user-generated content, and industry news. This information provides a clear overview of the types of content that were posted on each social media channel.
Audience Insights
Businesses are always concerned if they are attracting the right audience to ensure their marketing efforts are successful. This section provides valuable insights into the audience on social media platforms, including information such as country demographics, gender, age distribution, and device usage.
By including audience demographic information in the social media report, businesses can monitor changes in the audience population over time as the content strategy evolves. This is critical to ensure that the business is reaching the right audience.
Best Performing Posts
This section showcases the top-performing posts during the reporting period. You may include a screenshot of the posts, that includes key metrics like likes, comments and shares. By collecting the best posts in a single slide, we can clearly see what types of content resonate best with the audience and replicate these in future content pieces.
Social Media Strategy Plan
Suggestions for future actions or improvements based on the data and insights gathered. The recommendations should be based on data-driven insights and analysis of the results, and should include an action plan that outlines specific steps that the client can take to improve their social media strategy and make the campaign a success!
Upcoming Events
A list of the events and campaigns that are scheduled to take place in the future. By including a detailed schedule of the upcoming initiatives, it helps make sure all the team members are aligned on the marketing plan and are aware of all the upcoming initiatives.
