70% of marketers
choosing it as the most important goal.
The other top goals for marketers include increasing sales and leads
(59%
), "
increasing online
community engagement (
48%
), growing an organization’s audience (
46%
), and increasing website traffic (45%)."
A
different study by DMA
that surveyed B2B and B2C marketers found that the major reasons brand use organic social media marketing/campaign are for brand awareness (
36%)
, customer engagement (
32%
), lead generation
(12%
), customer acquisition (
9%
), other
(5%
), customer retention (
4%)
, and customer segmentation (
3%)
.
For
paid social media campaign
, the major reasons brands market on social media are for lead generation
(37%
), brand awareness (

), customer acquisition (
20%
), customer engagement (
17%

(2%)
, and other (

Although most marketers are looking to increase brand awareness,
only 41% look
at metrics that align with their goals, "
with 63% focused
on engagement metrics and half look at conversion and revenue metrics."
Marketers have a problem measuring the impact of social media on ROI, with
44% of
C
M
O
s
saying that they "
haven’t been able
to measure the impact of social media on their business, while
only 20 percent
say that they’ve been able to quantify social media’s success. Plus,
36 percent of
C
M
O
s
say they have a qualitative sense of its impact, but they haven’t been able to translate that into solid figures."
A study found that only about
48% of marketers
say they are seeing an ROI on their social media marketing effort.
We couldn't ascertain if other agencies use copywriters or the percentage of agencies that use copywriters during our preliminary research, however, we found
materials that suggest
that proper copywriting on social media may be beneficial to social media campaigns.
