 Sosyal medya stratejisi geliştirmek ve uygulamak, sürdürülebilir başarı arayan çağdaş işletmeler için vazgeçilmez hale gelmiştir. Sosyal medya platformları, müşterilerle doğrudan etkileşim kurma, marka bilinirliğini, satışları artırma ve dijital varlıkların güçlendirilmesi gibi sayısız faydalar sunmaktadır. Bu çalışmada Companies MarketCap tarafından paylaşılan verilere göre piyasa değeri açısından en büyük 5 Türk şirketinin QNB Finansbank, Koç Holding, Turkish Airlines, Ford Otosan ve Türkiye İş Bankası sosyal medyadaki içerik paylaşımları verilerek kurumsal sosyal medya yönetimi ve stratejileri açıklanmaya çalışılmıştır. Araştırmaya konu olan bu şirketlerin resmi Twitter ve Instagram hesapları 05 Mart 2025  05 Nisan 2025 tarihleri arasında gözden geçirilerek içerik analizleri yapılmış ve nicel veriler aracılığıyla tablolaştırılmıştır. Çalışmada, işletmelerin sosyal medya uygulamaları sosyal sorumluluk, kutlama-ödül töreni, ürün-hizmet tanıtımı, özel günler ve kariyer-eğitim olmak üzere beş kategoriye ayrılmıştır. Çalışmanın literatüre katkı sunmasının yanı sıra şirketlere kurumsal sosyal medya yönetimi ve bu konuda izlenmesi gereken stratejilere yönelik birtakım çözüm önerileri de sunulmuştur.
