In the latest AIBF Business Talk Podcast, AIBF CEO Elaine Carroll catches up with Colm Hanratty of sixtwo Digital, a digital marketing agency that helps businesses grow 🚀.

Colm shares three key tips:

1. Define Your Objectives: Understand your business goals and tailor your digital strategy accordingly. Whether it's brand awareness or lead generation, clarity on objectives is crucial for calculating ROI.
2. Optimise Social Media Advertising: Platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok offer powerful advertising tools. Define clear objectives for your ads to ensure desired actions from your audience, whether it's lead generation or engagement.
3. Embrace TikTok: Don't overlook TikTok's potential. It's not just for Gen Z; it's rapidly becoming a mainstream advertising platform. Consider its unique format and audience when crafting content.

Remember, even if you're not currently using TikTok, securing your username is wise for future use. Less polished content often performs better, emphasising authenticity over production value.
