The Arboretum is growing! 🎉News

The Arb is now the destination that matters in social. It’s where your peers are coming together to exchange ideas, advice and help each other grow. Being a member is a mark of credibility. We’re now entering a new era at the Arb. As an industry leader, Sprout is committed to giving back to the industry via the Arb—by shaping the social space and empowering all social professionals, regardless of whether they’re Sprout customers or not. 🎉Starting today, you will start seeing a lot more new faces around here - your peers, counterparts, and role models from different industries, agencies, and brands from all over the world. People who share similar experiences and challenges - people who see social differently, just like you.The things you love about the Arb stay the same, and are only getting better. This will continue to be a safe, supportive and collaborative space to forge friendships, partnerships and professional relationships. And a space where you can ultimately see unbiased evi

Global social management

Hi everyone,Right now I lead the social program for a global company. Our strategy and focus is mostly North America focused, but we have some content sprinkled throughout for other regions in Latin America and EMEA. The content comes from team members in those regions and geotargeted to those specific regions in their language. But those regions also see the English version of our content that goes out globally.We’ve been getting requests to create pages dedicated to each of the regions (ex: ABC Company - Europe, ABC Company - Italy, ABC Company - Brazil) vs. using a global profile. I’ve seen this done before but haven’t done it myself, and I’m not sure what the pros/cons are.Does anybody manage a global social program? If so, what’s your approach and what have been the benefits and challenges of that approach?Thanks!Hannah Jeanhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/hannahajean/
