The matter is researched and reported to leadership within the social media team to help defuse the situation to avoid further escalation.

Act fast if a crisis or breach does happen

Daily posting and engagement
Social media posts are typically published on Lionheart’s social media channels according to an analysis of our social media analytics and our content strategy, however, social media operates 24/7, therefore posting and engagement may occur outside of those time frames. Social media topics are from suggested social media posts provided by Lionheart staff, mainly Pastor Turnbough and media team leaders.

Daily customer service
Lionheart’s social media channels are considered a customer service center as we receive comments from individuals asking for assistance to questions about our teachings and/or services. Our responsibility is to respond in a timely manner, typically within normal business hours. We want to make sure that the Facebook response rate is at 90% or above.

Advertising
When requested or executing campaigns, we will conduct paid social media campaigns. The budget is provided from Pastor Turnbough as well as all content which is reviewed by the Social Media Manager/Team for approval.

Analytics
