Unlock the Power of Social Media: A Comprehensive Guide to Building a Strong Branding Strategy for Entrepreneurs
Dear entrepreneurs,
Are you ready to harness the true potential of social media to elevate your brand and achieve unparalleled success? Look no further! Share Media is here to guide you on how to build a robust social media branding, strategy, and implementation that will set you apart from the competition.
Imagine receiving an email from the corporate communications team at Sprint (today T-Mobile) recommending your company as the perfect candidate to participate in an RFP process. This is exactly what happened to us in April of 2019. Sprint’s team sought a marketing agency to assist in managing the social presence of their CEO, Marcelo Claure, who was spearheading SoftBank’s new LATAM Vision Fund.
Collaborating with such a prominent figure was a chance of a lifetime. We knew that proposing a winning strategy could open doors to securing SoftBank as a future client and solidifying our position in the industry. Marcelo Claure, an inspirational self-made Latin immigrant, made his mark by building his own company, Brightstar, which became the market’s leading distributor of mobile devices. With his trailblazing success story, we knew that crafting a social media marketing strategy for him would be a remarkable case study benefiting entrepreneurs like you.
Our team, comprising a creative director, two content writers, and two graphic designers, sprung into action immediately. Despite the one-week deadline, we were determined to deliver exceptional results. We listened attentively to the requirements of the corporate team, but we also understood the importance of seizing opportunities to their fullest extent. As forward thinkers, we provided strategy implementations even before the proposal stage.
Let’s delve into our social media marketing strategy proposal for Marcelo Claure, which serves as a reference point for this comprehensive guide:
Learn Your Client: Understanding the Client’s Needs and Our Solutions
The Corporate Team that would handle the daily day marketing management tasks for their boss’s social presence was looking for an end-to-end solution to completely manage his social presence, including overall strategy, daily content creation, publishing, and reporting. We are strongly interested in personal brand management as part of this, along with a corporate component.
In the face of a pending merger with T-Mobile, we needed to redefine the dynamics between Marcelo and T-Mobile’s CEO, John Legere, who had been both fierce competitors and, in a unique way, personal acquaintances. To facilitate this shift, we aimed to showcase Marcelo’s aspirations by drawing inspiration from business giants like Richard Branson, Elon Musk, and Tim Cook. We aimed to guide Marcelo toward embracing his Bolivian and South American heritage while focusing on his future endeavors at SoftBank’s Vision Fund.
We emphasized entrepreneurship-related articles and posts to effectuate a radical transformation in Marcelo’s social media presence. We could successfully project Marcelo as a visionary leader by highlighting his personal skills, experiences, and achievements. We also sought to feature successful and innovative entrepreneurs to foster a sense of inspiration and aspiration among his followers.
The Process of Building a Powerful Social Media Strategy
At Share Media, we adopted a comprehensive 360-degree approach to revamp Marcelo’s entire social media presence, ensuring that branding and marketing efforts were aligned with unified goals and purpose. Our execution strategy encompassed every aspect, from branding to marketing implementation, to create a cohesive and impactful social media strategy.
1. Conduct Extensive Research and Understand Your Client
Thorough research is the foundation of any successful social media strategy. We delved deep into Marcelo’s online presence, analyzing news articles, blogs, personal quotes, and published posts across all his social media accounts. To gain valuable insights into Marcelo’s social media reach and online reputation, we employed advanced analytics tools like Brand24. This allowed us to monitor brand mentions across the web and gauge the sentiment surrounding his personal brand.
2. Organize Information and Develop a Storyboard
With a wealth of information, we organized our findings into a cohesive and compelling storyboard. This allowed us to visualize the narrative we wanted to convey before handing it to our talented graphic design team. In today’s fast-paced world, visual communication is key, and our graphics were designed to effectively convey our message, making it easily understandable to anyone who encountered our proposal.
3. Establish a Strong Brand Identity
To truly make an impact, we understood the importance of creating a consistent and recognizable brand identity for Marcelo.
We carefully selected branding elements that resonated with his personality and aspirations, such as colors and design elements. By developing a strong and cohesive brand identity, we aimed to enhance Marcelo’s presence and differentiate him in the competitive digital landscape.
Learn from the Past, Embrace the Present, Brand the Future
We drew inspiration from past and present content to craft a remarkable social media strategy. We studied successful social media campaigns and analyzed the strategies employed by influential entrepreneurs. By learning from the past and understanding the digital landscape, we positioned Marcelo for a future where his personal brand would shine brightly.

Crafting Success: Unleashing the Potential of Social Media Strategy Implementation
When it comes to a successful social media content strategy, three key components are crucial: the type of content, the timing of your posts, and the frequency of your updates. Choosing the right type of content for each social network depends on its form and context.
To determine the best channels to focus on for implementing and distributing content, we thoroughly analyzed data from Marcelo’s current social media accounts. Social media analytics tools like SproutSocial and Hootsuite provided valuable insights, allowing us to track his social presence and generate detailed reports.
Tailoring the Content Strategy Distribution
We carefully curated content across various platforms to ensure maximum impact and engagement:
Twitter: 3-5 tweets per day, keeping followers updated on business-related issues, philanthropy, entrepreneurship, and personal quotes.
Instagram is a visually focused strategy featuring photography and videos that maintain a personal touch while highlighting innovative entrepreneurs. 7-10 posts per week.
Facebook: 10-15 posts per week, incorporating blogs, articles, photos, videos, and advertising campaigns.
YouTube: Marcelo’s YouTube channel showcases business news, updates, interviews, and entrepreneurship coaching videos. Additionally, his monthly or bi-weekly segment, “Marcelo Claure’s MVP,” features his most valuable player, accompanied by personal advice based on his experience.
LinkedIn: Business-related news and updates are shared on this platform.
Unveiling Insights: Harnessing the Power of Reporting and Analytics
Reporting is essential to showcase the results of your content strategy. Using PR tools like Mentions, which combines monitoring, listening, and reporting features, we monitor online brand mentions and reputation.
Unlocking Value: Unbeatable Pricing for Exceptional Results!
Our pricing is based on the total amount of the agency’s team working hours required to execute all social media services mentioned in the proposal.
