Wildfire goes social all summer long

Summer offers some awesome opportunities to connect and have fun with your social community. But with vacations, holidays and the swimming pool calling your name, it can be tough to find the time. Never fear. We put together a Summer Social Calendar that makes it quick and easy for you to stay on track.

 

Every day in July, we’ll be serving up a social best practice, strategy video, trivia nugget, insightful stat, social platform tip, or special surprise to keep you in the summertime spirit and inspired with new ideas. We even have a schedule of recurring themes so you can get excited:

 

• Messaging Monday, featuring weekly advice and strategies for crafting compelling messages so your fans and followers are moved to engage and take action


• Template Tuesday, featuring a Wildfire template and ideas for how to creatively incorporate it into your social media plan


• Watch Wednesday, featuring a never-before-seen video interview with one of our social experts discuss a topic all marketers are wondering about


• Throwback Thursday, featuring a look at a “historical” fact about social media— though our industry is young, we have some rich history to save for the trivia books!


• Fun Fact Friday, featuring, you guessed it, a fun fact you can amuse your colleagues with


• STATurday, featuring a weekly, can’t-miss, social media marketing statistic or research insight


• Sunday Social, featuring notable thought leadership on each of the major social network platforms and how to harness the opportunities for your brand on each

After you visit our July calendar, be sure to check out our 12 Months of Social campaign to see how flexible and reusable our templates can be. We built both campaigns using our Daily Reveal Calendar template, but the two experiences are totally unique.

Marketers win on Wednesdays with Wildfire

Sorry Friday, Wednesday just became our favorite day of the week. That’s because, for our June installment of the 12 Months of Social (#12mosocial) initiative, we’re giving away a selection of branded Wildfire goodies every WINSday!

All you have to do to win is answer a simple marketing related question each week— we want to know how you think about social media within your company, what keeps you up at night, how you organize your team, that kind of thing. In exchange for helping us get to know you better, every week we’ll draw 20 winners from the pool at random, giving away Wildfire t-shirts or Flamey plush toys— winner’s choice!

We built this giveaway application using our super simple Engagement Sweepstakes template. Check out our full library of templates to see all the other engaging things you can do for your brand’s social audience.

#CincodeMaya celebrates social media marketing all month long!

Great social media marketing never stops, and neither do all the learning and best practice tips you can pick up about it. This month, we’re embracing education with a little celebration...of Cinco de Mayo, with a Wildfire twist.

If you’re scratching your head about something social, we can help. Ask us your most perplexing questions, and every Friday in May our resident social marketing expert, Maya Grinberg, will post a new video answering one of the top five. Five Fridays. Five videos. Cinco de Maya!

Submit your questions here, maybe yours will be one of the chosen inquiries that gets a follow up video next week!

We built this campaign using our Social Gallery template, which is designed to make it super simple to engage with fans and followers. You can use it to post videos and do Q&As with customers in real time.
