First of all we would like to thank @MarieNakhle for giving us her valuable time.
Now starting of with our first question: Tell us how you got into social media marketing & what was your motivation behind it? #ChampsTalk pic.twitter.com/tH8wqFNy92
— Social Champ (@SocialChampSays) March 24, 2021
What motivates me is the impact that social media has and the difference you can make while sitting behind your computer. #ChampsTalk
— Marie Nakhle (@MarieNakhle) March 24, 2021
Actually I started using Twitter in 2009 and I got hooked! At the time I was working in software project management and I saw an opening as a Community Manager in a digital agency and decided to shift my career. #ChampsTalk

Q2. In your perspective, which type of social media content is most engaging? #ChampsTalk pic.twitter.com/cRNss89oGr
— Social Champ (@SocialChampSays) March 24, 2021
Even though video is dominating the social media sphere, especially with the rise of Tiktok & now Instagram Reels, I still prefer pictures. They are fast to read & share and they spread fast. Like they say a picture is worth a thousand words! It's my personal opinion. #ChampsTalk

Q3. What goals should a company or brand set with social media marketing? #ChampsTalk pic.twitter.com/8GYXO9NJIX
— Social Champ (@SocialChampSays) March 24, 2021
Social Media Marketing goals should be translated from the company’s business goals. If they are not, then their social media marketing is not bringing a real value to the business. #ChampsTalk
— Marie Nakhle (@MarieNakhle) March 24, 2021
Hi! What perks does social media marketing or digital marketing offer that traditional marketing does not, other than the massive reach? #champstalk
— Aysha Faseeh (@Foosa25) March 24, 2021
Hi Aysha! Thank you for the question. I believe it’s the detailed targeting that we have access to through social media advertising. Also, tracking and accurate measurement for results. #ChampsTalk
— Marie Nakhle (@MarieNakhle) March 24, 2021
Hi Marie! Thank you so much for your insight 🙂

Q4. Does Social media marketing work best for B2B or B2C businesses? #ChampsTalk pic.twitter.com/CFMmjWNQew
— Social Champ (@SocialChampSays) March 24, 2021
In terms of direct response, I believe that social media works best for B2C businesses, since you have higher potential reach for your direct customer. But it’s a good awareness tool for B2B businesses. #ChampsTalk
— Marie Nakhle (@MarieNakhle) March 24, 2021
@MarieNakhle What is that one piece of advice that you would give to a budding social media marketer?
— Fahad Ahmed (@Fahad_Ahmed94) March 24, 2021
You don’t have to be active on every channel! Be where your audience is. #ChampsTalk
— Marie Nakhle (@MarieNakhle) March 24, 2021
Q5. What is your opinion on influencer marketing? #ChampsTalk pic.twitter.com/7h2J0MnZOO
— Social Champ (@SocialChampSays) March 24, 2021
Statistics say that Influencer Marketing is the most efficient way to reach millennials and the Gen Z audience. I believe in its efficiency if the business picks the right influencer for their audience and not necessarily the most popular one. #ChampsTalk
— Marie Nakhle (@MarieNakhle) March 24, 2021
Great to have you @MarieNakhle!
What are your two favorite #icecreams? 😃 #ChampsTalk

Q7. What is a social media marketing strategy and why it is necessary to plan one? #ChampsTalk pic.twitter.com/frypxEft1l
— Social Champ (@SocialChampSays) March 24, 2021
Social Media Strategy is the Who, What, Why, When, Where of social media use and if a business does not plan one they will never be able to tell if what they are doing on social media is efficient or not. #ChampsTalk
— Marie Nakhle (@MarieNakhle) March 24, 2021
Hey Marie, I understand that there is no strategy that would work for all, but if someone wants to play safe, then what approach do you think they should go with?#champstalk
— Aysha Faseeh (@Foosa25) March 24, 2021
I say choose 1 or 2 channels to focus on #ChampsTalk
— Marie Nakhle (@MarieNakhle) March 24, 2021
Could this be the reason of some major digital business failures? #ChampTalk
