5-Step I.C.O.S.A. Social Framework
STEP 1: DEFINE YOUR BRAND VOICE
Ideation: Start by listening to your customers (and your data) and join the conversation they’re already having.
STEP 2: IDENTIFY MAJOR CONTENT THEMES
Creation: Produce content that drives that conversation and captures customer attention.
STEP 3: MAXIMIZE CAMPAIGN VISIBILITY & IMPACT
Optimization: Optimize your creative so it’s easily accessible on every platform your customers use.
STEP 4: LEVERAGE ALL PLATFORMS
Syndication: Post content on all relevant channels and in all media formats.
STEP 5: SCALE THE WINNERS. UPCYCLE THE LOSERS.
Amplification: Use paid ads to amplify your content to engage more customers and grow the conversation. Repeat for scale.
I.C.O.S.A. is a simple, 5-step process that turns scattered Facebook posts and ineffective tweets into a high-impact social media machine.
And the value of this framework doesn’t end with social media. This machine can be the engine that drives every department in your business.
Because not only do these campaigns produce measurable dollars for our brand, they also produce the content that we use in all of our top-performing ads and emails, as well as on our sales pages and throughout our website.

Meet Your Instructor: Laura
I’m the Social Media Director for BOOM! by Cindy Joseph, an ecommerce brand that’s made over $125 million.
But I didn’t go to college for this stuff…
When Ezra Firestone hired me in 2015 I was working at Cracker Barrel — I didn’t know the first thing about digital marketing!
Back then Ezra’s startup was doing $3 million per year and he was convinced that if he was going to scale further, content would be his secret weapon. After a year working customer support, he asked if I wanted to help him. That was 2016.
By 2017, Ezra’s bet had paid off. Our new content attracted hundreds of thousands of new fans, and BOOM! exploded from $3.5 million to $16 million.
