Social Perception

1st of June 2020

It’s now more important than ever to stay connected with your audience. With so many people spending more time at home, internet usage has only continued to keep rising. With this taken into account, it’s important to really think about what you're putting out onto the web, and more importantly, how you’re choosing to word it.

While some experts say brands should not be using this time to shout from the rooftops, some say brands shouldn’t shy from saying anything at all, this is because there’s potential for meaningful relationships to be built even during a crisis. Using this time to echo or amplify your brand's message could benefit your business as young consumers especially are prone to reward a brand they believe shares their values.

Building your unique brand story on social media involves telling it through different social platforms. This can be challenging without the right messages. Without getting your messaging right, you could be potentially missing out on valuable opportunities to engage consumers and build brand loyalty. When you tell your brand narrative on social media in a way that resonates with the right customers, the follows, clicks, shares, and likes will soon follow. Maintaining this communication between your brand and your audience and delivering socially responsible messages during a time of uncertainty is critical. This is because audiences will turn to you to answer questions around existing orders and to deliver content that shows consideration.

Whilst building and developing compelling content for your online campaigns might seem daunting, it’s always good to remember not everything has to make a big statement. Simple tactics like stating your values, ethos, and objectives while supporting your customer's needs could be the most underrated strategy.

Social Dilemma

1st of October 2020

The Social Dilemma recently landed on Netflix, and millions of us have tuned in to take a peek behind the curtain at the inner workings of social media companies, and the social impact they can have, have had, and will continue to have on users and the wider world.

While the show certainly shone a light on some of the more nefarious tactics used by these companies to stay relevant, stay super profitable, and more importantly stay on your phone’s home screen; we can't neglect the amazing opportunity social media has presented to us all too.

2020 has been a tough year, and the miracle of the internet and social media has helped friends and family stay connected from a distance through lockdowns and periods of isolation. It has been a blessing for so many, and we want to be a part of everything great about social medias ability to connect, entertain and inform.

So we’ve set out a few of our values, some guidelines we strive to stick to to ensure we’re using this opportunity ethically and responsibly.

-> We’ll only target users responsibly.

With the power to reach millions with our messaging comes with responsibility. We won't use it to promote contentious topics or irresponsible behaviour.

-> We’re here to build positivity...

...not create tension and divide. While the show highlighted that polarising content consistently gets higher engagement, we don’t want to be a part of stirring negative emotions for anybody, ever.

-> We won’t prey on insecurities to sell products.

We’re not here to influence anyone through a negative experience. We want to do so through excitement, positivity and great initiatives - and that comes with only being part of projects we truly believe in.

We’re here to tell brands’ stories, to share great ideas, spread the word for causes we want to rally behind, and use our platform for good and good only. That’s our promise to you, and every person on the other side of the screen that we reach with our content.
