Ep 4: Serious Social – Has our sense of community changed?

Ep 4: Serious Social – Has our sense of community changed? Social media is replacing some of the physical proximity we’re missing, brands have the chance to be a part of this right now. In this episode, Associate Director Belle Lawrence considers how the current climate…

Our sense of community is strong, engage with yours

Bring your community into your strategy

So, how do the best online brands create a loyal customer base, turn them into advocates and shift the power in their hands to attract new customers? The answer is UGC- user-generated content, often referred to as earned media. This is any content that an organisation doesn’t truly have complete control over.

Content for your community

The idea behind curation is to link and/or excerpt the work of others. Therefore, social has always been about content curation, but most businesses don’t have the time, staff, skill set or budget to regularly publish great content and that’s where content curation comes in. Why curate content? Audiences do not…

Demystifying the role of the Community Manager

Following recent conversations with various clients, marketers and other agency peers there seems to be an element of obscurity and misconception on the actual role of the ‘community manager’. The term commonly adopted for someone who sits on communication channels for followers, fans and audiences of brands, companies and networks around organisations or…

Top Tips for Real Community Management

Q&A: RiotRemedy founder, Heather Taylor, talks community management

In 2004 social networks were a groundbreaking channel for brands to self-publicise and broadcast their news. Today, the dynamic between brands and their customers has shifted. Customers want brands to talk with and not just at them. According to Heather Taylor, founder of online community, RiotRemedy, today’s brands need to…

Online community management: Stop. Look. Listen.

In the words of the Content Marketing Institute’s Joe Chernov: “Without content, social media is a sports car with an empty gas tank”. No one knows that better than an online community manager. But what that community manager also knows is that accelerating your social media…

Measuring your online community. Does size matter?

The importance of online communities is evident to many brands. What isn’t so obvious is how you set objectives for the community and, then, how you develop a framework to measure this. What you measure depends on what you have set out to achieve. If awareness is the objective, then…

Avoiding Facebook community f*ck ups. 5 moderation tips

Facebook pages give brands an opportunity to build close relationships with consumers; however, they also present new challenges for online community managers. Unlike forum based communities, brands have little real ownership over the platform: posting is instant, 24 / 7, and pre-moderating is restricted. This means that the risks are…

TikTok livestream features.

TikTok is continuing its push into livestreaming by testing a brand new feature called Fan Clubs. This update is designed to encourage more interaction between creators and their audiences, by turning livestreams into a more gamified and community-driven experience.

Social snapshot: Cannes FOMO – the social signals everyone needs to notice

We didn’t make it to Cannes Lions this year. No rosé by the marina. No sunburnt schmoozing. But that doesn’t mean we missed the plot. Because beneath the yacht selfies and the sea of sequins, there were big signals. Clarity. And, dare I say it, a few quiet…

The Art of Visual Conversion

Designing Scroll-Stopping Social Media Visuals That Drive Newsletter Sign-Ups Social media is noisy.

Social snapshot: Platforms back creators and brands need to catch up

There’s been much hype around Creators in recent months. They’re not a silver bullet to social.

They’re running businesses, monetising audiences directly, and…

Mastering Branded Content

Sticking to brand guidelines fuels creative success on social media. True creativity isn’t about doing anything; it’s about doing the right thing, and in our world, that means staying aligned with each client’s brand guidelines.

Reddit is a safe place for B2B marketing

Social Snapshot – B2B buyer journey revamp!

B2B buyer shift Social may have its label of being a Gen Z / millennial ‘thing’ – and that’s mostly true – but it’s also truer than ever for B2B key decision makers. In fact, over two thirds of buyers now fall into this category. The shift we’re now seeing…

Is your brand actually safe on social?

You don’t need a major breach to feel the burn. One dodgy influencer tag, a forgotten login, or a missed “#ad” can be enough to knock trust, damage reputation, or lock you out completely. We’ve been digging into the latest brand safety insights — and honestly, it’s more chaotic…

Social snapshot – Your social’s wide open

And just like that, your brand’s been hacked. Your Instagram’s full of dodgy crypto reels. The TikTok logins are in a spreadsheet last edited in 2022. And no one’s sure if Lucy from PR still has access… even though she left last summer. A recent study by eMarketer…

Social snapshot: Meta’s ad blitz is a land grab

Meta didn’t announce updates. It announced control. At NewFronts 2025, Meta rolled out tools, formats, and algorithms that signal one thing: it wants to own the attention economy from top to bottom. Discovery, distribution, and even your creative process. This isn’t just about more ad slots. It’s…

Why marketers need to stop reporting and start telling stories

We’ve all been there. You’ve pulled a marketing campaign apart, wrangled the data, triple-checked your charts, and packaged it into a tidy little deck. You hit your KPIs. You even exceeded your objectives. But in the boardroom? Silence. A polite nod. Maybe a vague comment about the branding. Because data…

Blurred out, sold out

Instagram is quietly experimenting with a new feature: lockable posts that can only be viewed with a code. Spotted on the Instagram Design profile, these posts display a blurred image and a prompt to “Enter secret code.” Once entered, the content unlocks. At first glance, it might…

How to create B2B influence that drives pipeline

For years, B2B marketing scoffed at influencer marketing. Too fluffy. Too consumer. Too… Instagram. And yet here we are. In 2025, over 51% of B2B campaigns now include B2B influencer marketing in some form (See Joel Harrison’s post). In content marketing and thought leadership categories, that number…

Social snapshot: Blink, and it all changes

Social Snapshot: Google Who?

Why Social Search is the Future of Digital Discovery It’s happened.

Tragedy for B2B organic reach – it’s being suppressed

Why short-form video should be your brand’s focus in 2025

Let’s talk about short-form video because if you’re not already all-in, you’re missing out. This isn’t just another shiny trend. Short-form videos are the real deal, delivering incredible engagement, boosting product discovery, and driving conversions like no other format.
