Capital Newspapers has a dedicated digital media unit that specialises in developing and implementing social media campaigns using the latest social media tools currently in the market.
Various tools offer special social action solutions. For instance Twitter is a social site designed to let people share short messages or updates whereas Facebook is a full blown social networking site. Social Media is a crucial tool as it enables the immediate sharing of new content with targeted audiences as well as enhances search engine optimisation for people searching social media to locate content.
As media specialists our team is capable of developing 360 degree media strategy that integrates traditional media with digital and social media. We have the capacity to deploy a dedicated social media specialist to develop strategy, protocols, and to implement, monitor and report on the implementation.
