Solution
Develop a comprehensive strategic plan outline that gets implemented on a monthly basis while selectively choosing which days of the week within the month are best optimized for maximum engagement.

Social media posts were categorized and prioritized by new product launches, product features and education, holidays and special days of recognition, corporate and employee spotlights, etc… Content was created to excite, inform, and educate followers while still maintaining and adhering to strict social platform guidelines.
