If feeds are not monitored – or handled incorrectly – it could trigger a public relations nightmare and do immense brand damage.

This allows the client, and the Digital Marketing First.co.uk team, to gauge which products or services have the best lead generating potential.
Being in the global media industry for years, and working within large media houses, we – as journalists – see what damage can be done by hiring the wrong agency or person to enhance your brand.
It leads to consumer frustration, mainly due to the lack of communication from the seller and also, in most cases, casts a shadow over the entire brand.
Social Media aims to change this, it places the power in your hands – publicly – for the world to see.
For this reason, we link social media marketing very closely with Public Relations and Content marketing campaigns.
