How Public Authorities Can Use Social Media Marketing

On social media, public authorities must abide by the same principle as they do in real life: living up to citizens’ expectations. Social media is one of the most direct ways to communicate with citizens – and Swat.io can help you do this. Thanks to the structured content calendar in the Swat.io Publisher and our team features, you’re perfectly equipped to share the right information at the right time. The central Swat.io Inbox for all supported social media channels simplifies communication with users – so you’ll never miss another comment, message or mention.

Personal contact with people is a key aspect of social networks, and close relationships with your citizens are part of this. Swat.io makes social media content planning effortless. The clear, agile editorial calendar lets you schedule your posts or publish them straight away on all supported channels. Familiarize yourself with our reliable workflows – you can use these to distribute your team’s resources so you have more time for your citizens’ concerns.

Efficiently Mastering Digital Crisis Communication Within Your Team

When crisis hits, it’s important to react in a systematic manner that works for the situation. Swat.io Inbox helps you combine crisis communication on social media in one central inbox, so you don’t miss a single comment, post, mention or private message on your social media channels. Respond to inquiries on all supported platforms during a crisis.

Targeted Provision of Services

Providing citizens with services is one of the most important jobs that public authorities do. Digitalization makes it possible to offer a range of services to specific audiences via social media, which is great news for your citizens. Swat.io brings spontaneous urgent messaging, public communications to citizens and PR work under one roof.
