🤔 In your opinion, what defines a social media platform? How is it different than any other type of app? Are there different sub-sets of social platforms? "Less Social Media, More Snapchat" is what the billboard said that sparked this question (and made me do a double-take driving out to the mountains this weekend). As I guess I haven't landed on a stance yet, I'm curious of some more opinions and thoughts. I've been using Snapchat since its launch and have always thought of it as a social media platform-- a way to connect with people who I don't see regularly through mixed media and post updates like "stories." But is it? And if not, what about YouTube? Or BeReal? And in a world where things like TikTok filters and AI Avatars can alter one's presentation, how much are people actually leaning into/craving "real" content vs. choosing the filters? Would love to know your thoughts in the comments or a DM! Thanks! #socialmediamarketing #contentmarketing #snapchat #socialmediamanagement

Have you been wondering if TikTok/Snapchat/the metaverse is worth your time and effort? It's an age-old (well, more like a 21st-century) question: should you take part in social media? If your business or client has ever faced this question, the first challenge that usually comes to mind is 'but we don't know what we'd post'. Well, you're not alone. We're of the opinion that if your target audience is active on a social media platform, it's generally worth you being on it too. But you need to have an active presence and post regularly – whether it's business updates, team news, opening hours, entertaining videos, educational content or sharing relevant posts.
