Finances, Ego/Affiliation, and Capabilities...it’s the three-part framework @OrchidBertelsen used (with thanks to @KatColeATL) when deciding to join us at @commonthreadco.
It also explains why “balance” may not be a healthy goal in and of itself: https://t.co/7gBqTsPpec
A social media manager and a social media creative are two different jobs.
Many SMMs have cross-functional skills because we have to. But you're not going to get top tier creative designs out of most SMMs.
McDonald’s never responds to, much less acknowledges Burger King’s attack or comparison ads. They don’t have to or need to.
When a category leader attacks/slights a smaller and scrappier competitor... you have to wonder why.
You give leverage and credibility to the disruptor.
If brands don’t stop requesting for social teams to dive into TikTok creation without putting resources behind it lol. Y’all wild for that. It’s 2021, beloved, not 2004. Social strategy/production really needs to be invested in and respected.
Many marketers told brands to shut up this week & stay out of the conversation. Many marketers told brands to speak out this week & get in the conversation, like Ben & Jerry’s did.
The personification of brands on social is getting trickier.
