for India and Singapore. The analyst was responsible for all client engagement on the page
and also provided customer support.

perception and accordingly devised a social media strategy around Facebook to cater to

product among customers. Promotions like offering discounts, freebies, etc were conducted for
festivals and new product launches.

asked to ‘like’ the client’s page to avail an offer. Upon ‘liking’ the page, the visitor was provided a
