Last month, I attended a presentation by Jesse Desjardins, Head of Social at Tourism Australia (possibly one of the best jobs in the world!).
What I re-learned was the importance of generating fresh content on an ongoing basis. But what I found really interesting was his strategy – leveraging external help. From average holidaymakers to professional photographers, everyone is encouraged to share content such as happy snaps and comments on the Tourism Australia Facebook page. This dramatically increases its reach and resources.
Is there a way you can incorporate this approach to your website? Can you partner with other businesses to share a content pool? Maybe enlist a regular blogger or simply open discussions that online users can contribute to.
In other news, I’m proud to say that a couple of projects I’ve worked on recently have just gone live: Aeramix and New Homes Victoria. Congratulations guys!
