Approach social network
referral strategy

First understand. Then activate.

Every organisation, region or partnership has key target audiences, social structures and motivations. We always research two target audiences, followed by a social network referral strategy.

1. The target audience you want to reach
 

For example:

  • employees;

  • students;

  • volunteers;

  • career switchers;

  • technical specialists.

 

We research behaviour, motivation, media use, social dynamics and network structures.
 

2. The target audience you need to activate
 

For example:

  • employees;

  • ambassadors;

  • alumni;

  • residents;

  • mentors;

  • regional partners;

  • volunteers;

  • communities.

 

Because ambassadorship only works when people recognise themselves in the story and can share it easily.
 

3. Social network referral strategy
 

We translate research insights into a concrete social network strategy.


In it we determine:

  • which target audiences need to be reached;

  • through which people and networks this runs;

  • which social dynamics have influence;

  • which stories people actually share;

  • which content and channels fit;

  • how target audiences are moved to action;

  • which forms of appreciation work;

  • how activation is structurally organised.

 

This creates an approach that fits the behaviour, culture and social networks of the target audience."
