Choosing Social Platforms

How We Decide Which Marketing Channels to Recommend (and Which We Don’t)

One of the most common questions we hear is:
“Which social platforms should we be on?”

The honest answer is: it depends — but not in a vague way.

Why Channel Selection Matters So Much

Choosing the wrong channels leads to:

  • Wasted effort
  • Inconsistent messaging
  • Frustration with results

Choosing the right ones creates clarity and consistency.

What We Look At First

Before recommending any channel, we consider:

  • Who your buyers are
  • How long your sales cycle is
  • How decisions are actually made
  • What your internal capacity looks like

Marketing needs to fit the business — not the other way around.

What We Commonly Say “No” To

We often recommend against:

  • Being on every platform
  • Trend-driven tactics without purpose
  • Channels that don’t support credibility or trust

Focus almost always outperforms coverage.

Final Thought

Good marketing isn’t about being everywhere — it’s about being intentional.

Channel selection is a strategy decision, not a popularity contest.
