This document discusses how to build an effective multi-channel social media strategy. It emphasizes setting SMART objectives that are specific, measurable, assignable, relevant and timed. The strategy should include assessing goals and capacity, selecting appropriate channels, and generating authentic content that tells an organization's story and impact. Regularly reviewing performance and being nimble are also important for success.
