00:05:41.290 --> 00:05:44.350
data sources like social media insights, website

00:05:44.350 --> 00:05:48.110

your marketing efforts direction and purpose,

00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:37.360
while objectives provide specific, measurable

00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:40.610

This framework ensures that your goals are clear

00:06:52.589 --> 00:06:56.089
and attainable. For example, instead of setting

00:06:56.089 --> 00:06:59.889
a vague goal like increase website traffic, a

00:06:59.889 --> 00:07:02.910
SMART goal would be increase website traffic

00:07:02.910 --> 00:07:09.649
by 25 % in the next six months. Next, Align your

00:07:09.649 --> 00:07:12.790

your business. Use data and insights from your

00:08:02.740 --> 00:08:05.660

target audience is active on social media, your

00:09:45.909 --> 00:09:47.970

00:14:43.210 --> 00:14:46.309
platform for a mix of content types, including

00:14:46.309 --> 00:14:50.049
articles, videos, and live streams. Evaluate

00:14:50.049 --> 00:14:52.309
