Borderline Supercharges Federal Agency's Social Media Presence

Introduction

Borderline, a leading healthcare communications company, has served as digital marketing support for a federal agency within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to enhance their social media presence for the last several years. When we took over the agency faced challenges with limited followers and low engagement on its social media platforms. Through our innovative two-pronged approach, we not only increased their follower base but also dramatically grew their engagement with stakeholders. Our work has generated best-in-class metrics results for impressions, engagements, and engagement rates.

The Challenge

Initially, this agency had a limited presence on social media platforms such as Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook. The agency had only 40-50k followers on Twitter, minimal followers on LinkedIn and Facebook, and extremely low engagement rates. The agency required a comprehensive strategy to boost its social media presence and efficiently reach its target audience and stakeholders.

The Solution

Borderline developed a two-pronged strategy to address the agency's social media challenges:

  1. Rapidly increasing the agency's volume of posting around key content lanes.
  2. Implementing an AI-driven strategy for the timing and deployment of posts.

To execute this strategy, we employed our proprietary tools to rapidly target and grow a strategically curated follower base. Additionally, we expanded the agency's presence on visually oriented mediums like Instagram, allowing them to reach new audiences and leverage the platform's unique features to maximize engagement.

Our approach began with an in-depth analysis from both a qualitative and quantitate perspective of the agency's existing social media efforts, target audience, and key content areas. Based on our findings, we identified where the this agencies desired audiences gathered on social media and the optimal posting schedules and content types to maximize reach and engagement. Our AI-driven strategy analyzed user behavior patterns and platform-specific algorithms to optimize the timing and deployment of posts, ensuring maximum visibility and engagement.

In tandem with our content and posting strategy, we employed targeted campaigns to grow the agency's follower base. By leveraging our proprietary tools, we identified and engaged with relevant influencers, industry professionals, and stakeholders, encouraging them to follow and interact with the agency's social media accounts. This approach not only increased the agency's follower count but also ensured that their content reached the right audience, leading to higher engagement and improved credibility.
