What we want to look at in this post is how AI fits into your Social Media Marketing Strategy.

Every organization is different of course. You might have a multiple hat marketer on board or even an AI Social Media Manager. So depending on your structure and resources, it might be different for you.

A couple of things that have always been true were:

• Creating social media posts took a lot of time;
• Engaging with your followers and audience was often overlooked;
• Content often was only been shared once on a social media platform.

Here are some known Social Media Marketing Challenges:

• Declining organic reach and engagement rates;
• Posting high-quality content consistently;
• Increasing ad costs;
• Falling engagement rates and fewer post interactions;
• Coming up with new and engaging content ideas;
• Creating authentic relationships;
• Telling great stories;
• Taking a stance and creating unique content;
• Finding creative freedom;
• Brand Consistency across all platforms;
• Creating high-quality visuals;
• Choosing the right channels;
• Getting people (colleagues included) to share;
• Speeding up approval processes;
• Standing out;
• Measuring ROI;
• Not seeing results fast enough and quitting.

So where does Artificial Intelligence fit into your Social Media Marketing Strategy?

AI can help boost creativity, help you come up with new content ideas faster, helps you speed up content creation, so you can engage more with your followers and audience.
