3. 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Our Mission: VaynerMedia has prided itself on helping brands execute great
content. We are a full-service digital agency built for the now. We partner with
clients to drive their business outcomes with the best-in-class modern video
production, media planning & distribution, influencer marketing, Google & Alexa
voice services, and everything in between.
Our Goal: To match if not surpass the social media following, content, and
engagement our founder Gary Vaynerchuk has on his own social media
platforms. Our target market are companies and individuals looking to build and
maintain a successful online presence.
Two major strategies that will support this objective:
1) A plan to increase the amount of content we are publishing on our platforms.
2) Educate our audience through webinars and live video about what we do and
offer them tips.
4. SOCIAL MEDIA AUDIT
The following is an audit of Vaynermedia’s social
media presence to date. It includes an assessment
of all social networks, web traffic, audience
demographics and a competitor analysis as of
February 20, 2018.

Social Media Assessment:
At the present time, our social media account with the most interaction is
Instagram. Facebook is the platform with the lowest engagement, but one
with the highest potential. We need to allocate a good portion of our budget
towards creating content for Facebook and on sponsored ads.

Twitter 5,000 unique visits 20% 8%
Instagram NO DATA NO DATA NO DATA
YouTube 1,000 unique visits 5% 1%
Facebook 500 unique visits 1% 0%
Traffic Summary:
As you can see from the data above, Twitter is the platform that drives the most traffic to
our website. Although no direct traffic data is available from Instagram, given that we
have a high engagement rate on that platform, it is likely that it does drive traffic to our
website.

The vast majority of survey respondents are in the 21-30 age group. Instagram
and Twitter are their primary social networks to get more information about the
company. Our audiences primary need is for services that will help their brand or
business flourish in the social media space. Efforts need to be directed heavily
towards the Facebook page as it is a platform with massive potential.
8. COMPETITOR ASSESSMENT
Competitor Name Social Media Profile Strengths Weaknesses
WebpageFX FB: WebpageFX Content that engages the
employees around the
office. Helps make the
brand relatable.
They do not have an eye-
catching logo. The colors
they have chosen are the
same colors Facebook
uses, so hard to
distinguish.
MAXBURST Twitter: @MaxBurst Content they tweet out is
tangible advice that
anyone who is following
them can use in their own
brand or business.
They only push out
content. There is no
engagement with their
audience.
Lounge Lizard FB: Lounge Lizard Their branding and logo
really stand out from all
the other marketing
agencies. Also, their many
photographs of the
employees shows that the
team members are
friendly.
Their content gets no
engagement. They barely
have any likes or
comments on any of the
content they push out.
9. COMPETITOR ASSESSMENT (CONT.)
Competitor Assessment Summary:
• The analysis focused on three digital marketing agencies near VaynerMedia
and their social media presence.
• Content that showcases the inner workings of what it takes to work at a
fast-paced digital marketing agency resonates with their audience because
they love being behind-the-scenes.
• We could make an effort to film and shoot more of the behind-the-scenes
content to show our viewers what it is like on a day-to-day basis.
• The competition could do a better job promoting their content for higher
engagement rate and also make an effort to engage with their audience.
10. SOCIAL MEDIA OBJECTIVES
The primary objective will be to use our social media platforms to not only drive
traffic to our website, but to get those people on our website to contract us to
