Social Media, Content Strategy & Campaign Planning

The 4 C’s of Social Media

A guide to making your social media efforts more engaging and effective.

What it is:

The 4 C’s of Social Media—Content, Conversation, Community, and Conversion—are a modern framework for building engagement and results across digital platforms.

Content is the starting point, but it must spark Conversation. Those conversations build Community, which eventually leads to Conversion (action). This model encourages brands to go beyond broadcasting and start building relationships.

Building social engagement from content to conversion.

It’s especially useful for evaluating whether your social media efforts are balanced and strategic—or simply loud. The 4 C’s remind us that social isn’t just about reach. It’s about resonance and return.
