2 Digital Audit
Criterion Analysis Rating (1-10) Digital strategy
A successful company should need a integrates digital technologies and unique value proposition that competitor is not easily to replicate (Ross, J. W., Beath, C. M., & Sebastian, I. M., 2017, page 7). A great digital strategy can provide a direction that drive a business growth and of potential customer and sales generation. Gutsii Health utilizes the digital strategy to increase brand awareness to target their target audience via social media platforms. However, Gutsii Health lacks the basic participation to appeal to their target market. For example, Gutsii Health has not updated and posted their information in Instagram since April. In addition, Facebook is the most active media and they target to increase the awareness of gut health and brand concept, but the target market lacks engagement in their posts because their content is similar to what competitor are making and do not encourage target audience visit their website. Since Gutsii Health are only provide chocolate and shake, they are main website is simple and easily to browse information. Also, Gursii Health is constantly updates blogs about the products benefits that people can get more information when they visit the website. Overall, Gutsii Health using the digital media to provide a great platform for the people that it will contribute in part of success and reach the company goals.

Consistent brand
According to Instagram and Twitter page of Gutsii Health, it is evident that brand identity is consistent across in all platform to achieving their business
7
messages goals. The website and social media are maintaining the same brand identity which is providing a functional snack for the people and also keep consistent with their color scheme and their brand image. One important element for brand consistency is to maintain accurate brand massaging across all platforms (Broniarczyk & Alba, 1994). Their social media platforms are announcing same bios and slangs and the content posts on social media platforms. Digital and social media tools used
Gutsii Health currently using Facebook, Instagram and twitter.
1. Facebook page: facebook/pg/GutsiiHealth/posts/?
ref=page_internal
2. Instagram: instagram/gutsiihealth/
3. Twitter: twitter/GutsiiHealth
4. website: gutsiihealth/
Obviously, Instagram is the most effective digital media for Gutsii Health used. According to their Instagram official page, they got 7558 followers, and 40 likes per post averagely. On the contrary, their focus seems to be on Facebook, because they continually posted the new informayion rather than Instagram and there were 5338 followers, and few likes in each post. The last post on Instagram and Twitter were in 16 of April 2020 that it lacks management will lead the platforms being ignored. Therefore, Instagram and Twitter require more attention of the target market and should utilize it effectively to gain the brand awareness and it is also the weakness for Gutsii Health. It is evident that Gutsii Health attach greater importance to digital marketing than traditional marketing because they are only using the digital marketing such social media platform and online news webpage to advertise their product that help to reach targeted market.

Instagram post- (Gutsiihealth, 2020) Strategic user engagement
Gutsii Health does a sufficient job for targeting health people who need gut health interested in using social media platform to support and raise brand awareness, and it does not target a specific age group. The cues are come from all the posts on their social media website which is all about the knowledge of the gut health and the advantages of their products. Therefore,

it is clear that Gutsii Health posts content has been developed in a way that not targets specific groups. The user feedback and engagement are low in all of the social media platforms that Twitter pages received few comments and likes, so suggest the content have to recreate more attractive post in the social media. Gutsii Health is not active in the comment of the posts, but they typically reply instantly on Facebook messages.
3 Customer Persona Gutsii Health is primarily targeting people who want sugar, gluten and preservative free product, and for the specific group such us fitness, diabetics and vegans. According to Australian Bureau of Statistics (2020), the average Australian consumes 62 grams of added sugar a day in 2018-19 and contributed 11% of of dietary energy which is beyond the recommendation of WHO 10%. In 2017-18, 1 million people had diabetics, more specifically diabetes more common in men than women and usually appear in age between 55 to 75 (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2020). Therefore, it is clear that the number of Australians who suffer from diabetes due to excessive consumption of sugary food in their daily life has become the target audience of Gutsii Health. The report of Gastroenterological Society of Australia (2013) shows that they estimate suggest 12 thousand people get Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Gutsii Health can provide the non-sugar chocolate and milk shake for the people who prevent the disease caused by sugar.

shakes in Australia that it is offering a low calorie shake with variable flavor for diet (Optifast, 2016).
