Your content strategy needs SALT.
Bluethread Social builds digital content ecosystems for campaigns, candidates, and causes. Ecosystems that increase specificity, authority, likability, and trust: the four psychological drivers of sustained influence at scale.
NO ONE LIKES BLAND CONTENT
Digital strategy usually falls on campaign managers or comms directors juggling a dozen other jobs.
No one's defined what social media is actually for, so content never lands with the audience it's meant to reach.
Enter SALT.
A method built on four drivers of influence:
Specificity, Authority, Likability, and Trust
SPECIFICITY
WHO YOU REACH
AUTHORITY
WHY THEY LISTEN
LIKABILITY
YOUR MAGNETIC VIBE
TRUST
GENUINE MOTIVES

THE PROCESS
A look at what it's actually like working with us. Three steps everyone takes, then you decide who makes the content.
A fast read on your last 30 days of public content. Which platforms are active, dormant, or missing. What's genuinely working. The one structural issue holding the rest back. And one fix you can hand to a staffer this week.
No call required.
The full diagnostic. Every active platform scored against all 14 SALT criteria, with a platform-by-platform breakdown, a content gap analysis, and your priorities in order.
The foundation. We build your three Ideal Reader Personas, map your topic landscape into content buckets, set your 60/30/10 content mix, and determine your platform mix.
You also get the one foundational artifact your weakest ingredient requires: Ideal Reader Persona questionnaires, an Authority Bank, an Organizational Personality Profile, or the Three-Check Filter.
