What is a social media audit?

Social media auditing isn’t nearly as scary as it sounds. It’s basically a process that measures how successful your social media strategy is across multiple accounts and networks. It serves to identify your strengths, weaknesses and areas of opportunity for growth. A social media audit will leave you with a laser-focused strategy for all your social media channels and the information you need to optimise your social media marketing.

A Dark Horse social media audit will be delivered in the following format:

1) Technical report

Detailed report and summary of your Facebook, Instagram and TikTok Ads account.

2) Expert panel audit review

The summary will be presented by a Paid Social expert with at least 5 years’ experience. All recommendations will be fully explained with further detail provided upon request.

3) Expert Q&A

Questions answered by a Paid Social expert who has experience of household name accounts, all shapes and sizes with an industry leading background.

Christmas Tree World

Christmas Tree World designs and sells artificial Christmas trees and decorations. Focusing on realistic looks, speedy delivery and a range of styles, colours and shapes for any home. Dark Horse took over Christmas Tree World from a “top-drawer” agency, where results had stagnated, and it wasn't receiving the service it expected. Christmas Tree World had a specific, highly seasonal product to sell and needed a company that could react to the market to build brand recognition and deliver fast growth in a limited time period. Dark Horse rose to the challenge.
