3. executive summary
My main priorities for the 2016/2017 calendar year will be growing my personal brand and online
following.
Two major social strategies will support this objective:
1. Plan to increase the volume of my content on my social media profiles.
2. Encourage conversation about my content, and increase following.
4. social media audit
The following is an audit of my brands, Taylor Roy, social media presence to date. It includes an assessment of
all social networks, web traffic, audience demographics, and a competitor analysis.

Social Media Assessment:
At the present time, the highest number of interactions comes from Instagram, which I assume is because of the
amount of followers I have. Little to no engagement happens on twitter because I have just begun using this
social media channel.

Social media is a major part in our daily lives. You, as well as I use it to spread messages, interact with
individuals, and to share our own personal lives. As my own personal spokesperson and representative of
myself, I am dedicated to demonstrating the best etiquette in my use of social media by following these
guidelines:
• Above all, be respectful

• Be polite, even when someone is not being respectful
• Be a solution, not the problem
• Do not bad mouth the competition
• Be excited about the brand, and spread the word
• Ask before you post, if you’re unsure…elcit a second opinion
I am committed to being a positive influence on all of my social media channels. Your personal brand is
your most important attribute, and you must treat it that way. I am dedicated to bringing positivity to
every one of my followers, not engaging in controversial conversations, and always being respectful.
