Doug Wilber

CEO, Denim Social

Doug and Hunter sat to talk about all things social media, content, digital advertising and how he’s building a platform to connect the dots of organic and paid social media management.

His newly formed company, Denim Social, the result of bringing together two companies: Gremlin Social and Denim.

One of the key aspects of Doug’s company focus is to “harness the collective horsepower of the employees that work at a financial institution,” giving them the ability to showcase thought leadership on financial matters in a compliant manner.

In order to build this type of culture, developing content remains a top priority. And Doug discussed his company’s content strategy approach, dubbed a “4-1-1 plan.” The plan includes a weekly cadence with 4 pieces of thought leadership content, 1 piece of product-related information, and 1 piece of humanistic/community content.

Finally, Doug discussed how his solution competes with the many marketing hub platforms today that serve the financial sector. In a heavily saturated world of digital tools, Denim Social is staying focused on what matters to financial institutions.
