Sharing information, cultivating conversation, telling the story of your business, nonprofit or school…
Social Media Audits (FREE)​
Let’s have a look at what you’ve already created! Should your program have social media feeds that currently exist, are they robust and effective? Are you meeting your social media objectives? How vibrant and expansive is your network? How rich is your content, both original and shared? Let DKM Social Media Consulting evaluate your presence and report back to you with suggestions and strategies.
Goals, Strategies, Personas
What are you hoping to accomplish with your presence on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest or Instagram? What differentiates your nonprofit or business from others like it? Do you have images, quotes, language that “brands” your project? What other marketing vehicles are you using besides social media and is your overall effort coordinated? Let’s talk and craft a plan!
Content Creation
Original content that tells the story of what your business, nonprofit or professional service is all about is at the heart of social media marketing. DKM Social Media Consulting will help you develop original content that tells your story and positions you as a thought leader in your field. Then, we will use this content to create custom social media posts and distribute them in the most effective way possible.
Content Curation
Content curation, or gathering and sharing blogs, social media posts and information that others have created is equal in importance to content creation, because social media is SOCIAL. It’s about breaking the ice, cultivating relationships, providing perspective, creating context and expanding reach. It’s about recognizing that social media is essentially a collaborative endeavor, and that we’re all in it together!
Network Building
W​hen it comes to connecting and communicating with referral sources and customers, social media is unique in that it’s not solely about broadcasting one’s services and competing with other brands, but also about “social listening” and network building. Sharing content from others who do what you do is an expression of confidence, transparency, generosity and thought leadership. Savvy customers understand the value of this approach.
Getting Started
I​f you have existing feeds, a FREE social media audit is a great place to start. Either way, an initial meeting or conversation in which YOUR NEEDS remain front and center is essential. Then we will create or revamp your social media presence, create and curate content, and start to build your network. Maintenance of feeds over time is the next step, or we will be happy to teach you how to manage your social media presence yourself.

Keep it simple, but significant. – Don Draper

Debra Markovic

Lifelong connoisseur of rich content, storytelling and effective communication + seven years experience in social media for an LA nonprofit, the last three as Manager of Social Media Engagement; I believe that social media is one of the most powerful tools available today for sharing information, cultivating conversation and connecting purposefully to people and ideas.

Creativity, discernment, transparency, presence and humor all play a part in using social media wisely and well, and are also reflected in the way DKM Social Media Consulting does business.

I look forward to helping you create professional Facebook pages, LinkedIn profiles and company pages, Twitter feeds and Pinterest boards that tell the stories of the businesses, schools and nonprofits I know mean the world to you, and have the potential to mean the world to your clients, customers and communities, and I will happily curate content and monitor them for you or teach you how to manage them yourselves.

I love social media because it exists at the intersection of humanity & technology. – Brandwatch

Phil Liff-Grief

Associate Director, BJE

I had the pleasure of working closely with Debra in her roles as Senior Specialist for JKidLA and Social Media Manager at BJE. In both roles, Debra exhibited the highest level of professional skill and expertise, approaching her work with an unparalleled thoughtfulness and professionalism. In her social media work, she took on tasks that were new to her and quickly developed a depth of knowledge and ability that put her in the position to teach others.

In both roles, she was called upon to provide advice and counsel to others. This she did with grace and great skill and became a valuable consultant for so many who turned to her for professional guidance and direction. She is the consummate professional.
