Questions:
What your top social media platform?
Twitter. Social Fresh really came out of TwitterUps in Charlotte and then the community that formed around them. The platform has changed, but Twitter is coming back to the community mindset and is thriving in a completely different way then the platform existed 10+ years ago. This is where we (Social Fresh) have the largest community and the largest global reach as a business.
Jason’s favorite social accounts to follow:
R/GA on Twitter - NYC agency - been doing it for a long time
Chime on Instagram - a digital bank
TSA on Instagram
Should your business be on TikTok?
How often should you be posting on each channel?
Consider doing an audit for your business to see what works per industry.
Generally speaking (at a minimum):
• Facebook: treat each post as a campaign because it is hard to break through all the noise
• Twitter: at least, daily
• Instagram: 3 times a week
• LinkedIn: 1 - 2 per week; posts stick around on much longer on this platform
Are Facebook Groups worth it?
Facebook Groups are a great tool but it’s a community and you need a community manager. Using Facebook Groups can be a great organizational tool.
Examples of business that do it well:
• Peloton
• The Skimm
• Shine (health and wellness app)
How do you gain more followers (specifically on Twitter and Instagram)?
This is one of the biggest challenges most brands have.
Two methods that work well:
What content trends are still working and that people are interested in during this time (advent COVID-19)?
