Kenneth Hitchner Discusses About How to Build a Brand on Social Media
PRINCETON, N.J. – March 24, 2016 – Building a brand is building a story, said Kenneth Hitchner, public relations and social media director at Creative Marketing Alliance (CMA), a full-service marketing firm in Princeton Junction, when speaking to members of the Burlington County Regional Chamber of Commerce (BCRCC) today. Social media is a vehicle for telling that story.
He spoke about how a brand tells a story and makes a promise to consumers as they get to know it. When customers and potential customers engage online, whether by liking, commenting or sharing, it’s a sign that they like your brand and are investing in it.
“People buy your story before your product, and your brand’s reputation yields relationships,” said Hitchner.
Hitchner referenced on the work he did for the Professional Service Group of Central New Jersey, a nonprofit he founded to put downsized professionals back into the workforce as the example of the power of social media.
“When I wanted to get the attention of the White House, I researched their most popular hashtags and included them with the video campaign,” said Hitchner. “When I was sharing best practices with the U.S. Secretary of Labor, that is when the power of social media marketing hit me.”
“Every action has an equal reaction—especially on social media,” said Hitchner, who mentioned that his Instagram campaign had almost instant results with an invitation from the White House to discuss bringing professionals back into the workforce.
“CMA is the creative mind behind our new logo and our new branding,” said Kristi Howell, BCRCC president. “We’re thrilled to have Ken here today talking about branding.”
