What are the campaign goals and/or communication tasks? Here the planner reviews these decisions and provides a succinct overview of the goals.
What is unique and special about the brand’s position in the marketplace? Campaign work should leverage the brand’s positioning strategy.
Who is the target audience? What do you want the audience to do? Do you want them to talk to the brand? Create and share content?
Is there another group of people who can persuade the target audience to follow them? This group is your influencers. Why would these people want to share your message with others? What‘s in it for them? Social Media Marketing, 2e©

In the centralized structure,the social media department functions at a senior level that reports to the CMO (Chief Marketing Officer) or CEO and is responsible for all the social media activations.
In the organic structure,no one person owns social media. Instead, all employees represent the brand and work social media into their roles.
In the hub and spoke(also called the coordinated) model, a team of people who are cross-functionally-trained are ready to address various social media needs.
The dandelion model is essentially a multi-layered hub and spoke model.
The holistic model is currently the least used. It truly refers to a structure within which all employees are empowered to use social media, use social media, and do so according to the company’s strategy.
