Carrie Kerpen: CEO, Likeable Media
In this episode recorded on location at Social Fresh East 2014, I interviewed Carrie Kerpen. Carrie is the CEO of Likeable Media, a full service social media and word-of-mouth agency helping brands craft messages and spread those messages across the internet.
Having a Data-Driven Marketing Mindset
As Carrie shares in her interview, having a data-driven marketing mindset is near and dear to her heart. She discusses how it’s very difficult for brands to deal with data in a rapidly changing social media landscape. However, it’s important that brands understand how they can get proper data insights and ROI by navigating through this rapidly changing landscape. Brands have to be willing to adapt to changes when spreading their message across social channels. Carrie shares some big trends she is seeing and ways for brands to create content that is fluid and flexible through social media marketing.
Business Decisions, Goals and Results
When it comes to business decisions, brands should focus on a social strategy that drives measurable results. Carrie reveals what kinds of business results she is seeing and provides several great examples from brands such as Fruit of the Loom and Liberty Mutual. It’s about taking control of your content by bringing engagement back to your website. When companies invest in engaging content, people find a reason to go back to the brand’s website. There is both a social and sales benefit.
