Our Process

Step 01 Research and Planning

Activities
1. Defining the Goals

In the realm of social media marketing for schools, saarthi is experienced with defining clear goals which are essential for a successful campaign. We take our time with school stakeholders and discuss their demands, expectations, aspirations, and preferences thoroughly. Such discussion and research helps our team to plan out everything so that it pans out as per our expectation. We plan out why a school should be active on a certain social media platform and what leverage it can take from it. Ultimately, ensuring that their messaging resonates effectively, reaches the right audience the school is looking for, and ultimately drives engagement and enrollment.

2. Understanding the Brand

This involves delving into the school's unique identity, values, mission, and culture, as well as the brand and its personality traits and target audience, we develop a tailored social media strategy that aligns with your school’s core values and resonates with its community. This understanding informs the tone, content, and messaging on social platforms, ensuring that the brand's presence is consistent, authentic, and neatly aligned. At School Saarthi, we have a belief that a deep understanding of the brand is the foundation upon which a successful social media marketing plan is built, enabling schools to effectively communicate their value and connect with audience.

3. Market Research

We also do our market research to monitor the latest ongoing trends which can be aligned with the school's messaging topics that are resonating with the target audience, whether it's educational advancements, parenting insights, or community-related discussions. Additionally, identifying and using relevant hashtags helps expand the reach of the school's posts, connecting with a broader online community and enhancing visibility. Incorporating these insights into the social media strategy empowers schools to stay dynamic and responsive in a rapidly evolving digital landscape, fostering meaningful connections and engagement with their audience.

We aim to engage the audience, elicit emotions, and drive specific actions. Copywriting plays a pivotal role in conveying the school's narrative and fostering a strong online presence that captures the attention and trust of the school's community. Then we take approvals from our clients on the content and copies to move further ahead with designs.

2. Creative Strategy

After we get the approval from our clients on copies, the Saarthi creative team sits together to plan the visual treatment for each post, in which junior, and senior graphic designers, the creative head along with content writer, all are present and put forth their views and perspectives. Our designers work diligently to strike a harmonious balance between aesthetics and the conveyance of information, ensuring that each creative design is visually appealing and informative. This collaborative effort results in visually engaging and impactful content for our clients.

3. Video Strategy

The strategy considers the target platforms and posting schedules, ensuring that videos are optimized for each social channel. Our creative video designers discuss in detail the visual storytelling of the while aligning the video carefully with copies. As we believe, that by implementing a well-thought-out video strategy, schools can convey their value, showcase their vibrant community and campus, and provide valuable information, ultimately enhancing engagement, brand visibility, and the overall online presence of the institution. So, our team makes sure the schools receive quality videos.
