Bryan Mattimore is cofounder and ‘chief idea guy’ of the Growth Engine Company, an innovation agency based in Norwalk, CT that helps companies come up with ‘the next big thing’. Before co-founding the Growth Engine Co. in 1999, Bryan was founder and president of the Mattimore Group, an 18-year-old creativity consulting and ideation facilitation company. Bryan recently joined AMP UP Your Social Media’s host Glenn Gaudet to discuss marketing automations solutions on social media.

“People at all levels […] should be learning these techniques. It’s a tremendous way to get ahead personally but also to help your company and clients to get ahead as well.”

Bryan discusses tips for connecting big ideas to effective social media campaigns:

  1. Help people make behavior transformations through appropriate channels.Conventional media isn’t necessarily tuned towards catering to younger generations, and so social media is going to be your key to tapping into behavior-changing impacts for millennials and those other younger generations.
  2. Start with ‘the big idea’. Social media may be your channel to reaching your customers, but you’ll always have to start with that big idea which may, in turn, reflect in your social media campaign. The idea isn’t always necessarily for social media, but it may have ramifications on social media channels.
  3. Start with your brand and your target market. Often times coming up with ‘the big idea’ can be overwhelming for creative personnel. Instead, start with the basics, and build from there. Discuss your brand, values, and core target market to get a good grip on where your ideas are headed, and brainstorm ideas around those central focuses.
  4. Use a variety of techniques. Sometimes coming up with the best idea takes a little bit of creativity, like ‘The Worst Idea’ technique! In this way, have everyone come up with the worst possible idea the can come up with. Then, use facets of those awful ideas to turn bad ideas into good ones. Then, you’re off to a good start on your social media targets.
  5. It’s important to have cross-functional teams. Your creative team shouldn’t consist of the same three people sitting at a table staring at each other constantly. You’ll get the same ideas constantly, so expand that when you can by including other areas of your brand in the creative process.

Bryan would love to hear from you! Connect with him on LinkedIn or through his company website.
