Social & Owned Media Integration

Own your audience relationships, not the platforms. Use social as a discovery engine that feeds your owned channels, rather than a dependency that controls reach. Algorithm changes become inconveniences, not catastrophes.

The Challenge

Why This Matters

SparkToro research shows Facebook organic reach declined 74% between 2018 and 2023. LinkedIn fell 52%. The pattern repeats every platform cycle: you build audience, the platform monetizes your access to that audience, your organic reach declines, you pay to reach followers you already earned. Brands that spent years building 100,000 LinkedIn followers now reach 5,000 of them organically.

You cannot email your Instagram followers. You cannot export your TikTok audience. When the algorithm changes or the platform declines, rented audiences disappear. The brands that survive platform shifts convert social followers to email subscribers at 2-5% monthly. The brands that collapse treated platform metrics as business assets and discovered they were not.

The Process

How It Works

Social integration follows a four-phase transition from platform dependency to owned audience. Each phase has specific deliverables and progression criteria.

1

Platform Audit

Week 1-2

We analyze your current social presence, engagement patterns, and critically: conversion to owned channels.

Deliverables
platform performance analysis, conversion baseline, dependency risk assessment.
Checkpoint
current state documented before strategy design.
2

Integration Architecture

Week 3-5

We design the content origin strategy and conversion paths.

Deliverables
owned-first content calendar, platform adaptation guidelines, conversion funnel design.
Checkpoint
you approve content strategy before implementation.
3

Transition Implementation

Week 6-12

We shift content creation to owned-first model and implement conversion paths.

Deliverables
active conversion funnels, platform-adapted content, initial conversion data.
Checkpoint
conversion rate above 2% before full transition.
4

Optimization & Hedging

Ongoing

We optimize conversion rates and maintain platform diversification.

Deliverables
monthly conversion reports, quarterly platform rebalancing, ongoing content adaptation.
Checkpoint
platform allocation adjusted when any single platform exceeds 40% of reach.

Our Capabilities

Integration Program Components

Integration Program Components
  • Multi-Platform Distribution Architecture

    Design efficient distribution systems that adapt owned content for each platform's native format. One content piece, multiple platform-native adaptations. Reduce per-platform production time while maintaining platform-appropriate presentation.

  • Conversion Path Engineering

    Build systematic conversion from social follower to email subscriber to engaged community member. Includes lead magnet strategy, bio optimization, story/post CTA design, and landing page optimization. Target 3-5% monthly conversion of engaged followers.

  • Content Amplification Systems

    Use social for discovery and reach without building dependency. Content originates on owned channels; social amplifies distribution. When social algorithms change, owned content remains accessible; only amplification requires adaptation.

  • Integrated Analytics

    Track the full path from social engagement to owned audience to business outcome. Most analytics stop at platform metrics. We connect social activity to email signups, email engagement to sales pipeline, creating complete attribution.
