Media 275 – Module 2 – Essay

I manage all of the social media accounts for Hermann Brothers Logging & Construction, a trucking company out of the Port Angeles area. My main goal in doing so is advertising for hiring potential new truck drivers. I currently already use Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. I use Facebook quite a bit. Not so much Instagram, and very little when it comes to LinkedIn. However, after reviewing the infographics, I feel that it might be very beneficial to add Google plus to that list. I am an amateur when it comes to managing social media accounts on a professional business level. I still need to refine my strategy some.

Here is what I would like to do with Hermann Brothers’ accounts. I would like to get establish a better footing in LinkedIn and get all set up on Google Plus. Then I would like to research how to use those two apps better and become proficient at using them. Then I will dedicate more time every week to designing graphic ads to post to these accounts. Maybe one every week or two. I would also like to upload pictures and other content at least 2-3 times a week, and be good about responding in a timely manner when someone attempts to communicate with the company accounts. I want to gain a bigger following with these accounts and engage them more.
