Social Media Marketing is Dead(ish). Why Brands Should Adopt a ‘Total Social Media Care’ Philosophy
I’ve been reading an increasing amount of ‘industry commentary’ about the value of getting back to marketing basics… focus on a decent product and great customer service. Sounds sensible, right? It got me thinking about the opportunity for a change of philosophy in how brands use social media to be more memorable.
#The #art #of #the #hashtag
If you want a good definition of ubiquitous, how about ‘the use of hashtags in brand marketing in 2018’? These days the humble hashtag is everywhere. But a couple of recent conversations got me thinking that the various ways of using them across different social networks was worth a quick post.
How often should I post on social media? (and what’s the RIGHT question to ask)
This remains one of the most ‘frequently asked questions’ I receive, and my (probably frustrating) response remains the same… it depends. However, in light of some recent tweaks and changes by the major social networks it’s a topic that definitely deserves another visit on this blog.
