It’s OK to use social media… as long as it’s intentional. 📱 A metaphor that rewired my social media usage: You’re going grocery shopping. (1) You go in with no plan Veggies for your next meal, cereal for breakfast, something sweet that enticed you, ice cream for when you get a craving. You buy anything you see and go home happy. Over time, your health exposes your eating habits. (2) You have a shopping list The plan is to buy veggies & meat for dinner and milk & eggs for breakfast. You're in & out. No distractions catch your attention because you know what you wanted. Social media isn't different. “Let me just check social media” is the best recipe for an unhealthy habit. You get distracted and buy anything on the shelf that social media gives you. Developers built the app so you'd be on it for as long as possible. Hours go by with you glued to the screen. But what if you went with the purpose of, “Let me respond to messages, and message Alex about the thing he wanted to buy”? That is intentional. In & out. You use social media for its best purpose: the one you intended. Now that I plan how I will use social media before I use it, I rarely use it.

In early 2022, while scrolling through my social media feed, I stumbled upon an intriguing ad for a meal delivery service that promised fresh, nutritious meals tailored to various dietary needs. At the time, I was curious but not quite ready to commit, so I saved the ad for future reference. The vibrant images of delicious-looking meals and testimonials from satisfied customers made a strong impression, but I figured I could always come back to it when I was more serious about changing my eating habits. Life got busy, and the ad slipped to the back of my mind, buried among a sea of other saved links and bookmarks. Fast forward to November 2022, as my birthday approached, I found myself increasingly dissatisfied with my eating habits and yearning for a healthier lifestyle. Determined to kickstart a new diet plan, I revisited my bookmarked links for inspiration. There, amid the clutter, was the ad for the meal delivery service I had saved months earlier. The timing felt perfect. I remembered the convenience it promised and how it aligned with my goals of eating better without the hassle of cooking every meal. With renewed enthusiasm, I explored their website, reviewed their meal options, and ultimately signed up for a subscription. The old ad had done its job by planting the seed of interest that sprouted into action when the time was right. Reflecting on my decision, I realized the significant role that initial ad played in my eventual subscription. It wasn't just a fleeting advertisement; it was a well-crafted message that resonated with me long enough to influence my purchasing decision months later. This experience highlighted the power of effective advertising and the importance of timing and relevance. Even though I didn't subscribe immediately, the ad's impact lingered, proving that a well-placed, memorable advertisement can indeed bear fruit well beyond its initial exposure. So, would I give credit to their old ad for my subscription? Absolutely. It was the catalyst that set the wheels in motion for a healthier change in my life. What do you think—does the credit belong to the old ad?

📈 Building a profitable marketing strategy is like building a healthy diet and lifestyle. AGREE or DISAGREE? (I had this thought on my morning walk) 💲 Ads are like getting delivery or eating out. Yes, it's super convenient and necessary at times... BUT you have to pay for each meal. With ads, you pay more to get more impressions or clicks. ▶ Publishing evergreen YouTube videos is like getting groceries and meal planning. Yes, it's more work.. BUT you pay once and you get more food, healthier meals, AND you build habits that improve your overall life! Creating and publishing good YouTube videos scales ROI with time and consistency -- just like good habits! ⚖ And just like how we need a balance of cooking at home and eating out... Brands need to have a healthy balance of ads and organic marketing (aka YouTube) that builds ROI for the lifetime of your business. Do you agree or disagree? I'd love to hear your thoughts! #marketingstrategy #brandmarketing #marketingagency #organicmarketing #performancemarketing #youtubeagency #youtube #ads #contentmarketing

📨 "Food and drink advertisements (...) are associated with a greater preference for and consumption of products high in fat, salt, and/or sugar (HFSS) among teenagers" 💡 Food for thoughts: maybe we can work on that! 🤔 #prevention #digitalworld

Is It Just Me, or Are We All Getting Smarter About Food? I’ve been noticing some fascinating shifts in how we all think about food, and I wanted to share a few thoughts on this. It’s amazing to see how much more curious and careful we’ve become about what goes on our plates! 1. Checking Labels: It seems like everyone’s become a bit of a detective before tossing anything into their shopping cart. We’re all looking a bit closer at those ingredient lists, wanting to know exactly what’s inside and opting for simpler, more natural foods. That is the reason brands like The Whole Truth Foods Let's Try becoming a rage. 2. Getting Expert Advice: More of my friends are chatting about how they’ve started working with nutritionists to figure out diet plans for their health goals. It’s not just about losing weight anymore—it’s about feeling great and staying healthy. Instagram is filled with nutritionist influencers. 3. Steering Clear of the Refined Stuff: I’ve heard plenty of stories about doctors advising against refined wheat flour and other processed ingredients, especially with lifestyle diseases on the rise. Seems like whole foods are finally having their moment. 4. Tech-Savvy Eating: And isn’t it wild how our phones are now part of our dining experience? From tracking calories to getting tailored diet tips, tech is helping us make smarter eating choices with apps like Healthify Me or FITTR Navigating these changes is exciting! It’s all about being more aware and making choices that are good for our bodies. Let’s keep the conversation going—what changes have you noticed in your eating habits? #FoodForThought #HealthyEating #LifestyleChanges

I am on a 30-day no sugar diet! As I am writing this, I got a glass of water, and some veggies as my snack. I promise you: Six Pack Alex, for summer. So, perhaps this is the right ad to watch right now… Let’s start with the hook:The stop motion and the clock showing the passage of time grab your attention and don't let it go (that means better hook rates). Retention rates for this ad are amazing, and that means strong engagement and viewer interest. Finally, the random objects there. Do you see the fruit, slice of ginger, and the healthy-looking blend? They are all there to link the product, and the ad, with the idea of “organic and natural. Just what the audience wants. Is this an effective and scalable ad concept? For sure! It’s been running for over 5 MONTHS!!!! Watch the full ad here. https://lnkd.in/da65jJF3

Nudges: Do They Really Stick? During my stint at a discount store, we experimented with nudging customers towards healthier choices. We placed fruits and nutritious snacks at eye level, relegating less healthy options to bottom shelves. The result? Customers scoured the store for their favorite chips and bread. Those who did opt for fruits? They were back to their usual choices the next day. A recent HBR article, "Will Your Nudge Have a Lasting Impact?", sheds light on this phenomenon. It suggests that nudges are more successful in targeting singular problems. At first glance, promoting healthy eating seems straightforward - just get people to pick up fruit, right? But it's more complex: ✅Picking the fruit (one behavior) ✅Actually eating it (another behavior) Successful nudges, like effective vaccination programs, address multiple behavioral barriers. They're rooted in a deep understanding of human decision-making. What are your thoughts? How can we address the behavioral complexities of healthy eating? Reading material: 1. HBR article: https://lnkd.in/dNYm52xN. 2. Richard Thaler's book on Nudge: https://lnkd.in/dvG7UwRn #behavioraleconomics #nudgetheory #healthyeating #decisionmaking #consumerbehavior #foodpharmer
