I have found that campaigns tend to initially view social media or digital marketing as more of a bother than a tool. However, this tool is something wonderful and magical.
Never in history could an individual create their own media, control their own image, create their own narrative, and gather people together around an idea. Your social media campaigns work for you when you are not around. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, your social media is reminding voters about what is important and how you can help them.
A voter sees you on their lunch break at 2 am if they work overnights. Your supporters can be encouraged to donate to you at 7 am when they arrive to pick up their mother for a doctor’s appointment.
If your good/lucky, your messaging can come to life and spread as joy should. Media companies will inbox you. (And, they will).
You can test images, messages, types of media that work i.e. pictures versus graphics versus videos. You can have a Well-Oiled Communications Machines

Hootsuite allows you to manage all your social media accounts in one place one app. It has a browser extension/mobile app for easy sharing, a social media calendar, and auto-schedule feature that places all of your posts when they are most likely to be seen. This program also allows you to respond and monitor everything from one place. The app is on a tablet or phones so as a team you can work together.

Facebook overall is made for longer form communications. That means longer videos, statements, stories, series, anything that your heart desires.
