Organization Is Key
Take care to organize your multimedia content and keep track of it in an asset library for easy finding. Keep documentation of what kinds of content you’re using for each social platform.

Create Now, Edit Later
If you’re in charge of social for a live event or on the go, try to remember that you can always edit content later. Take as many raw photos and videos as you can for repurposing later on in your content pipeline.
A2: Always keep your phone handy (and a battery charger). Content can easily be emailed or sent via Google Drive. #SproutChat

Tagging Creates Seamless Processes
There are a variety of ways to organize social content, but tagging might be the easiest (and most effective) method. Tag your visual assets for quick look up and utilize UTM tagging for easily tracking your content’s performance.
A4 Ensure the tag for the content matches utm code so you can easily track its success via Google Analytics #sproutchat
