Social media for a PR software brand on LinkedIn and X/Twitter

BuzzSumo helps PR and content teams find what is being shared, who wrote it and which journalists to pitch. I ran its LinkedIn and X/Twitter: writing the posts, designing the visuals in Canva, scheduling in Agorapulse and joining the conversations PR people were already having.

Make a research tool sound like a colleague who already did the homework.

The brief

Two feeds, one small team

BuzzSumo had a blog, product videos and a loyal user base of PR and content people. The social feeds needed a steady rhythm and a voice that sounded useful, not salesy. Every post went through the client for approval before it went out.

The rhythm

Same brand, two ways of talking

LinkedIn and X/Twitter

Each platform got its own length, tone and formats.

Repurposing

One blog post, many posts

Most content started on the BuzzSumo blog or YouTube. I cut each piece into formats that fit each feed.

Reporting

A report every week

Each week I pulled post performance from Agorapulse and sent what worked, what did not and what to try next. The next week's posts followed that report.

When approvals are slow, the plan has to stay a week ahead.

Agboola was always very responsive and dedicated, as well as patient when we as clients were sometimes slow to approve. Agboola always put extra effort into the work to try and find new ways of delivering information to our audience. He has been a pleasure to work alongside.
