Social Isolation Quick Fix Series: Instagram Alt Text image

Just because you’re working from home doesn’t mean you should be wasting away. Marketing works all the time, and now is the time to double down on your marketing efforts. The curve will flatten, and if you’re not ready for the bounce that comes with it, your competitors will be more than happy to take on all the business you’re passing up. As I discussed in my introduction to the social isolation quick fix series, I’ve found myself to be a lot more productive in the past couple days, and have decided to use some of my time spent distancing help you get closer to your leads, prospects, and customers.

To Pin or Not to Pin? image

The past year social media has seemed to be dominated by likes of Facebook (for both good and not-so-good reasons), Instagram, and Snapchat. While these platforms spurred the trend toward video content, marketers have since continued to leverage this format throughout their marketing mix.

Leveraging Millennial Engagement on Instagram with Influencer Marketing image

Instagram has a far-reaching effect for brands trying to engage Millennials. Instagram, which delivers an entirely mobile experience, has seen huge growth over the past few years, in part because 60 percent of its active users are Millennials.

The Dangers of Infinite Personalization image

In previous blogs, we have discussed the many advantages personalization presents to businesses. But the past few months have revealed the very real and dark side of personalization. The election season brought about complaints of fake news on sites like Facebook and Google. Even the president complained about this issue. (in a very different context). One of the reasons Facebook acted cautiously in filtering out fake news was to avoid being too disproportionally left-leaning. Although fake news stories often had right-leanings, supporters on both sides read and believed articles with little to no truth to them. The fake news trend displays a relationship with personalization. Personalization can be extremely effective. But when it comes to information, it can have some severe drawbacks, as David Siegel pointed out ...

Jeep’s Movember: Simultaneously Tackling Social Media and Cause Marketing image

Jeep just wrapped up its Movember promotion. The promotion uniquely accomplished both social media and cause marketing.

This nonprofit encourages men to spread awareness by adopting a “No-Shave November” rule. Men grow out their facial hair during the month to symbolize their support for the cause. And since social media use is always seemingly on the rise, that allows participants to take their support to a new level: broadcasting on public online platforms. Jeep partnered ...
