Awareness Asks: Are You Ready to Get Serious about Social Media Marketing?

Awareness launches The Social Marketing Hub giving marketers total control over multiple social media channels with just one click

SXSW - Austin, TX and Burlington, Mass.— March 15, 2022 — Awareness, Inc., the leading provider of on-demand social marketing software, unveiled for the first time during SXSW, The Awareness Social Marketing Hub. Built to address the challenges marketers face managing multiple social channels, The Social Marketing Hub is for serious marketers who want to plan, implement and measure meaningful social media strategies across the organization.

Community – It’s just another channel

The launch of The Awareness Social Marketing Hub is a game changer for both the Company and the marketplace. Once positioning community as the center of a brands social media presence, it is clear after speaking with customers and influencers that it should be treated just like any other channel, or tactic, in any brands social marketing strategy.

"The launch of The Awareness Social Marketing Hub is not only a game changer for us, but changing the way the marketplace views each individual channel – community included," said Mark Cattini, Chief Executive Officer, Awareness, Inc. "Any brand that has had success in social media knows that by using multiple channels together they can collectively achieve a greater impact than if they were used separately. But, as a result, many are struggling with how to manage it all. The Awareness Social Marketing Hub gives marketers the ability to centralize social marketing programs and simplify the management and execution of social marketing strategies across multiple channels."

Brands getting very serious about social media marketing

The Awareness Social Marketing Hub is currently in beta and being used by several well-known brands. Some of the earlier "very serious" adopters benefiting from The Social Marketing Hub include Kodak, Sony, Best Buy, USA TODAY, Kayak.com, ASOS.com, Progressive Insurance and Fairmont Hotels & Resorts.

"Social Media is important for every industry but it’s becoming increasingly influential within travel. New channels are continually entering the marketplace making it harder to capitalize on the opportunities when dealing with the touch points on an individual basis," said David Doucette, Executive Director Internet Marketing, Fairmont Raffles Hotels International. "The Social Marketing Hub introduces significant efficiencies that will allow us to focus on our strategy instead of being consumed by the day-to-day tasks."

"Many brands, including ours, are realizing that focusing on only one social media channel to reach an audience isn’t enough to get results desired. As channels are added, so are the complexities in measuring the impact you have on the marketplace" said John Bernier, Manager, Social and Emerging Media at Best Buy. "We’re excited about the possibilities that the Social Marketing Hub brings to our ability to carefully measure all our social media activities from one central console."
