Once thought to be a superficial, ego-boosting format for would-be writers and maudlin teens who felt they had something to say, social media has connected with something within human consciousness that goes well beyond a simple online conversation. Through social media we have created a global connectedness and given voice to masses.

This powerful format has not gone unnoted by marketers (including those in aerospace marketing!). Knowing that the average U.S. consumer spends more than 32 hours per month surfing the net and participating on a variety of social platforms (that’s twice as much as almost any other country), social media has taken center stage as a required piece of any successful content marketing strategy.

  2. Online content builds trust with potential consumers
  3. Online content and social postings show up in search results
  4. Social media engagement grows your network of influence exponentially
  5. Social engagement helps to create an organic following and demand
  6. Online content appears as a value add to potential consumers
  7. Online social engagement creates a personality for your brand – which is more relatable to the average consumer than just a brand name
  8. Participating in social media expands your reach, making you more known and available to the global marketplace
  9. Social media participation and online content creation is far less expensive than online or print advertising
  10. Online content lives in perpetuity – meaning it will be available for consumers to find for years to come without your having to resubmit it or pay for an additional placement
