Social Media for Government
Ready To Engage Your
Communities Like Never Before?
With Australians spending a collective 5.9 billion hours on social media every year, these platforms offer exciting opportunities to engage constituents in fresh, immediate ways. Used well, social media can help departments improve service delivery, increase transparency, and easily collect community feedback. Only 33% of Australian government employees say they have the support they need to execute digital strategies, and in today’s complicated digital landscape that’s understandable!
Australians are sophisticated social media consumers. Shaken by anti-trust revelations, they are still using social platforms, but have changed what they expect from the experience. Users are wary of misinformation and disingenuousness. In order to drive genuine community engagement and get a return on the significant resources invested into account management, it’s vital to understand the state of the market today. We provide a range of support options to help departments communicate with confidence and engage with their communities like never before.
Communicate with confidence
Social media presents a number of challenges at scale. Large workflow management and approval chains. Ever-changing market trends. The rise of increasingly sophisticated media consumers. Connecting with people is vital, but to do so often requires adjusting communication strategies. It can be stressful driving this process, especially when only 33% of Australian Government Employees report having sufficient support to execute digital strategies. We empower the public sector to plan, execute, and evaluate their reach on social media to drive deeper engagement with important initiatives.
