Social groups seem to collide with the idea of being a forum. For a social group to be succesful (just like any site, or what-have-you) there must be
content (be it exclusive or in-demand). It goes with out saying the content should not belong to some niche category either.
I can't think of a lot of content like that, for which you would be compelled to post on a social group,
but not on the forum. A few things that come to mind is contest social groups, but this forum largely prohibits those as part of their no-game rules. Another type would be for some sort of project; where the group would consist of only people handling the project. But other then that not much comes to mind. Could you give some examples?
If the groups purpose is purely socializing or some niche topic, it should come to no surprise it will inevitably die out. People (particularly these days) tend to migrate between social circles, and niche topics have a timed lifespan - particularly those revolving around some anime cult.
As for the publicity aspect, why not just add the group name in font-size 4 in your signature? I'm sure anyone interested will go there.
