I changed approach, built an editorial plan and asked a creative to bring to life social templates that would give a younger, more appealing image. The results came, but I had to find a way to collect them, present them and help both my manager and the CEO understand them without losing too much time.<\/p>\n<p>So I created a dashboard: an HTML file that is shared by email and lets you see at a glance what is going on.<\/p>\n<h2>How it works<\/h2>\n<p>I built it with Claude. At the start of each month I upload the previous month&#8217;s exports and screenshots, and the dashboard updates.<\/p>\n<p>In very little time I can see the overall results, those of a single channel, and compare them with a set of competing companies identified beforehand. The overview clearly shows how much we have grown since February, with cumulative follower charts and the totals for the period.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/erikagherardi.it\/wp-content\/themes\/erika-gherardi\/assets\/images\/lab\/social-dashboard-growth.webp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/erikagherardi.it\/wp-content\/themes\/erika-gherardi\/assets\/images\/lab\/social-dashboard-growth.webp\" alt=\"Overview of a social media dashboard: three headline numbers, growth cards for LinkedIn, Instagram and Facebook comparing the first and the latest month, two cumulative follower charts and the totals of the period.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"2175\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><figcaption>The overview, with an invented company and invented figures.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Every view comes with two readings of the numbers: one written by the AI, with more numerical analysis, and one written by me, with more qualitative information that also helps monitor the team&#8217;s participation, interpret dips and suggest new directions.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/erikagherardi.it\/wp-content\/themes\/erika-gherardi\/assets\/images\/lab\/social-dashboard-analysis.webp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/erikagherardi.it\/wp-content\/themes\/erika-gherardi\/assets\/images\/lab\/social-dashboard-analysis.webp\" alt=\"Two panels of written analysis: one from the AI and one from the social media manager.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"965\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><figcaption>The two readings of the same numbers, side by side: the AI&#8217;s and mine.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>On top of that, the dashboard uses the same colours and the same font as the social templates, so the report looks like part of the same work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A monthly dashboard for Trade&#8217;s social media: Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn, month by month, with growth, competitors and two readings of the numbers, the AI&#8217;s and mine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","project_status":[19],"project_type":[28],"class_list":["post-552","lab_project","type-lab_project","status-publish","hentry","project_status-built","project_type-data"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/erikagherardi.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/lab_project\/552","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/erikagherardi.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/lab_project"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/erikagherardi.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/lab_project"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/erikagherardi.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/lab_project\/552\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":568,"href":"https:\/\/erikagherardi.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/lab_project\/552\/revisions\/568"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/erikagherardi.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=552"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"project_status","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erikagherardi.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project_status?post=552"},{"taxonomy":"project_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erikagherardi.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project_type?post=552"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
