Capitalizing on a strong signature and clear positioning

Cosa worked on the tagline “We bring companies and customers together” to reinforce the tone and editorial line of Salesforce’s social media posts. The goal was to reflect Salesforce’s DNA while adapting messaging to French cultural specificities.

Developing an editorial line tailored to each social network

Each platform was treated as a unique media channel with specific approaches:  

  • On Instagram, Cosa highlighted Trailblazers to inspire future decision-makers (ages 25–34). The account became a collection of testimonials proving that anyone can become a pioneer with Salesforce.  
  • On Twitter, the focus was on tech news and events to engage “Makers” (ages 25–44). The account evolved into a media hub making technology accessible.  
  • On LinkedIn, Cosa emphasized products and foundational values to reach business decision-makers (ages 35+). Content was designed to facilitate discovery of Salesforce solutions while sharing its commitments.

Diversifying formats to maintain audience interest

Cosa alternated between educational content (practical guides), viral posts (memes), and spontaneous content to avoid monotony. This dynamic approach captured attention across target audiences while boosting engagement.

Harmonizing visual identity across social networks

Cosa revamped the digital graphic charter by leveraging Salesforce’s proprietary colors. A distinctive visual universe was created to ensure consistency across Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn while enhancing the impact of posts.

“When we saw the engagement of Salesforce’s international community, we were excited to develop their social media strategy and produce content for them. We successfully implemented a strong editorial line tailored to each platform, which now positively impacts their organic statistics on Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn.”
