#Digital Assurance Trends

[piedap]

The Foundation of Digital Assurance:

Digital assurance serves as the foundation for ensuring the reliability, security, and performance of digital solutions. It involves a systematic approach to verifying and validating digital assets, including software applications, websites, mobile apps, digital platforms, people, processes and systems. Digital assurance encompasses a wide range of activities, including quality engineering, project management, and assessment of people, processes, and systems. At its core, digital assurance aims to instil confidence in the quality and reliability of digital solutions in an increasingly digital-centric world.

Quality engineering, project management, and assessment practices are integral components of digital assurance, ensuring that projects are executed efficiently and effectively while evaluating the performance of people, processes, and systems. By integrating these practices, organizations can enhance their ability to deliver high-quality digital solutions that meet customer expectations and drive business value.

The Evolution of Digital Assurance

Digital Assurance has its roots in traditional Quality Assurance (QA) practices that focus on detecting defects at the end of the development cycle. However, with the advent of Agile and DevOps methodologies, the focus shifted towards preventing defects and ensuring quality throughout the entire process. This evolution marked the transition from QA to Quality Engineering (QE), where the emphasis is on building quality into the product from the outset. Project management plays a significant role in ensuring on-schedule, within budget and right quality product /service delivery, hence it is included in the ability of digital assurance. The asset quality has a direct impact on the outcome, hence assurance includes them in its span of work. The assets could be people, processes or tools/systems.

Current Trends in Digital Assurance

Cloud-Native Adoption: The move towards cloud-native platforms has been a game-changer for Digital Assurance. With over 95% of new digital workloads projected to be implemented on cloud-native platforms by 2024, the scalability, agility, and cost-efficiency of cloud-native architecture are driving this trend.

Generative AI & AI Integration: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is playing a crucial role in application modernization. The integration of AI and Machine Learning (ML) into defect detection is a key trend, with AI-driven tools excelling in pinpointing code issues and continually improving through adaptive learning.GenAI is transforming project management by automating tasks like designing project plans, preparing resource allocation, monitoring project progress, and generating content for reporting and documentation.

Cybersecurity: As digital platforms become more prevalent, the importance of cybersecurity in Digital Assurance is paramount. Ensuring the security of digital assets is a top priority, with organizations investing heavily in advanced security measures to protect against cyber threats.

Quality Engineering (QE) Transformation: The Deloitte 2023 Quality Engineering Trends Report highlights the transformative influence of rapid technological advancements and AI on QE. The report identifies key trends that are revolutionizing QE, leading to enhanced efficiency, accuracy, and productivity across various industries.

Increased Focus on Automation: Automation is becoming more prevalent in project management, with AI being used to automate low-value-added tasks. This allows project managers to focus on more strategic aspects of their projects, such as decision-making and optimizing resource scheduling.

Future Outlook of Digital Assurance

Looking ahead, the field of Digital Assurance is set to become even more integral to the success of digital initiatives. The following are some of the anticipated developments:

AI and Predictive Analytics: The use of AI and predictive analytics in Digital Assurance will continue to grow. These technologies will enable organizations to anticipate issues before they arise, leading to more proactive and pre-emptive assurance strategies.AI will continue revolutionizing project management by automating routine tasks, enhancing decision-making processes, and predicting potential project risks.GenAI is being integrated into the assessment of people and processes, automating tasks like performance reviews and process optimization. This allows for more dynamic and personalized assessments that can adapt to individual employee needs and organizational goals.

Increased Automation: Automation in testing and quality checks will become more prevalent, reducing the reliance on manual processes and increasing the speed and reliability of assurance practices.

Shift towards Autonomous Testing: As AI and ML capabilities continue to mature, we may see a shift towards autonomous testing, where intelligent bots and algorithms are capable of autonomously generating test cases, executing tests, and analysing results with minimal human intervention.

Holistic Asset Assessment: The assessment of assets, including people, processes, and systems, will become more comprehensive. Digital Assurance platforms will provide deeper insights into the performance and alignment of these assets with digital strategies.

Emphasis on Employee Well-being: Enterprises are increasingly prioritizing employee satisfaction, mental health, and professional development within their assessment strategies. This reflects a broader trend towards recognizing the importance of employee well-being in driving productivity and engagement

Remote Project Management Evolution: The shift towards remote work has redefined project management. In 2024, this trend will continue to evolve, necessitating the adoption of collaborative tools, virtual communication platforms, and innovative methodologies.

Sustainability and Ethical Considerations: As digital transformation accelerates, there will be a greater focus on sustainability and ethical considerations within Digital Assurance. Organizations will need to ensure that their digital products and services are not only high-quality but also socially responsible and environmentally sustainable.

Integrated Quality Engineering:  We can expect to see a more integrated approach to quality engineering, with organizations breaking down silos between development, testing, and operations teams to foster collaboration and alignment throughout the software delivery lifecycle.

Focus on Continuous Assurance: Continuous assurance will become the norm, with organizations adopting DevOps and continuous delivery practices to ensure that quality is built into every stage of the software development lifecycle. This shift towards continuous assurance will enable teams to respond quickly to changing requirements and deliver value to customers more effectively.

Conclusion

The evolution of Digital Assurance is a testament to the dynamic nature of the digital world. As organizations continue to navigate the complexities of digital transformation, the trends and future outlook of Digital Assurance provide a roadmap for ensuring the quality, security, and reliability of digital assets. With the integration of AI, increased automation, and a holistic approach to asset assessment, the future of Digital Assurance looks promising. By embracing emerging trends and integrating quality engineering, project management, and assessment practices, organizations can position themselves for success and drive innovation in an increasingly competitive landscape. As we look to the future, the role of digital assurance will only continue to grow in importance, serving as a catalyst for digital transformation and driving business success.

One of the recent trends on TikTok is an aesthetic called “night luxe.” It embodies the kind of performative opulence one usually encounters at New Year’s Eve parties: champagne, disco balls, bedazzled accessories, and golden sparkles.

“Night luxe” doesn’t actually mean anything. It isn’t a reaction to wellness culture, nor is it proof that partying is “in” again (has partying ever been “out”?). It’s just one of many aesthetic designations for which the internet has contrived a buzzy, meaningless portmanteau. Rest assured that night luxe will likely have faded into irrelevance by the time this article is published, only for another meme-ified aesthetic (i.e., coastal grandmother) to be crowned the next viral “trend.”

The tendency to register and categorize things, whether it be one’s identity, body type, or aesthetic preferences, is a natural part of online life. People have a penchant for naming elusive digital phenomena, but TikTok has only accelerated the use of cutesy aesthetic nomenclature. Anything that’s vaguely popular online must be defined or decoded — and ultimately, reduced to a bundle of marketable vibes with a kitschy label.

Last month, Harper’s Bazaar fashion news director Rachel Tashjian declared that “we’re living through a mass psychosis expressing itself through trend reporting.” There is, I would argue, as much reporting as there is trend manufacturing. No one is sure exactly what a trend is anymore or if it’s just an unfounded observation gone viral. The distinction doesn’t seem to matter, since TikTok — and the consumer market — demands novelty. It creates ripe conditions for a garbage-filled hellscape where everything and anything has the potential to be a trend.

TikTok plucks niche digital aesthetics out of obscurity and serves them up to an audience that might not have known or cared in the first place. While aesthetic components were once integral to the formation of traditional subcultures, they’ve lost all meaning in this algorithmically driven visual landscape. Instead, subcultural images and attitudes become grouped under a ubiquitous, indefinable label of a “viral trend” — something that can be demystified, mimicked, sold, and bought.

Just Like The Beatles

Being in a band with three men while being a lonely girl would sound difficult, but you all managed to make it work. You four tried to use bonding exercises to avoid issues, which included livestreams with fans or smoked weed in private. When you joking said, you should do that infamous Beatle game in Hamburg. You didn't expect them to accept.

content: smut

notes: afab fem!reader; 'bonding' with the boys; um, i can't explain; luis x leon x chris x you; man on man action; modern au; ooc characters; SMUTTY. like there is no plot at all. minors, i know i can't control you, but... this is a sexual situation. if i say, don't read this, you are stubborn and will still try. I'm trying to finish all my long stuff to not overwhelm myself.

taglist: @argreion

The digital clock counted another minute. All the hotel room heard was the breathing of each member of the group. Luis's brown eyes looked at each of his members. This wasn't gay, right? He took a deep breath, "Do you have your dildo?" He wanted to make sure this was perfect for their dumb new activity of the day.

You groaned softly, "I, I got it." You showed your pink toy to your friends. Leon's cheeks turned a bit red but he stayed focused on the mission. Chris nodded his head as well. "Okay, so, how did the Beatles do it again?" He asked softly.

"Well, it was a masturbating game," Leon mumbled softly, "They jacked their dicks together as they yelled out names. Lennon mentioned Churchill but they still... had to cum."

Yeah, this was basically insane.

You nodded your head and took off your bathrobe, showing at least a bit of your breasts and raised your bottom side of it. "I'm ready, I guess." Luis swallowed when he saw your boobs, "I still don't know how this is bonding exercise." He felt himself just getting hard by seeing his lead singer's breasts.

Chris sighed, "Well, if it weren't for her research the Beatles," He rubbed his thighs and pulled out his limp dick, "And you two bozos accepting it. We could've just done a stupid Tiktok trend."

Leon rolled his eyes, "It sounded like a good idea. You saw what music the Beatles did."

"Yeah, until they broke up." Chris muttered.

Leon pulled out his own half harden dick, "No wonder we don't have girlfriends." Leon looked at everyone half naked side. Your pussy and your dildo slowly rubbing it gently to make it wet. Leon groaned, "Fuck, this is definitely a bad idea."

Luis groaned, "Don't judge, I didn't shave." He showed his and he had a bunch of pubes were just there.

"This is so gay." Leon mumbled.

"Forget it." You said, "Now, we have to figure out how to get properly aroused to play the game."

The four idiots looked at each other. Luis saw Chris's dick and Leon's... and soon your cunt. He gently rubbed his to raise it up. "I'm... I'm really trying, eh." He grunt softly.

You closed your eyes for a second and rubbed your dildo on your tits. You clicked on the end of it, and it began to buzz. You focused the buzzing on your nipples and moved it up and down. Leon, Chris, and Luis were just enjoying the how you looked. Leon's legs opened, and he whined softly as his hips buckled.

Chris's eyes followed how the dildo just played around your body.

"I'm wet." You said.

I'm hard." Luis muttered, trying to keep it nice and steady.

Leon nodded his head as he removed his bathrobe. The trio without shame looked at Leon. Leon was a soft version of hot compared to Chris and Luis. Leon had body hair, but he trimmed most of the guys.

Chris was struggling a bit. He sighed, "I can't." The trio looked up at their leader. "Why not?" You asked. Keeping yourself wet sucked as your fingers began to rub your clit to assure it. Chris groaned, "I just don't jack off a lot. I don't even like watch porn."

Leon, Luis, and you had a guilty look.

"It-it's fine. Let's play, and maybe Chris will get hard from... something." Leon knew either way, Chris will feel it. The dildo entered your hole and pumped the toy in and out. "First name..." You whispered softly.

"Albert Wesker." Leon started easy. Everyone from the band knew Wesker was hot whenever they liked it or not. You pinched your nipples as you focused on the idea of Wesker pumping his dick in you. Leon's hand rubbed his tip and moaned softly until his wrist moved up and down his shaft.

Luis rubbed his happy trail and slowly began and avoided his tip. His pre cum began to bubble from his tip. Even if Chris wasn't masturbating, he had Wesker in mind. Chris began to rubbed gently his thighs to raise himself to play the game. Next name.

"Jill Valentine?" Luis said in a questioning tone. Jill was more taboo than Wesker. They respected her.

You pumped the dildo slower for Jill. "Mm, Jill would be so nice..." The men agreed. Leon's butt clenched a bit; he groaned weakly, trying to catch his breath.

Next name. It was your turn but you were too focused on riding your toy. "Hey, your turn." Chris tried to be the bigger adult, but seeing your body squirm around your body. Your cunt clenching on the pink toy...

"Um," You were forced to think. You saw how your band members were just pumping their dicks, it made your stomach feel weak. Your eyes trailed down how Leon masturbated compared to Chris and Luis.

Chris did it as he made a mission. He wasn't completely relaxing as his hand pumped it over and over. His eyes were hazy. Luis was more loving in a way, his legs were wide and kept nothing hidden. His cock was red and needy, but he kept it more under control.

Leon was groaning and making more noise as he pumped his cock. "C'mon, hurry up..." He moaned.

"Leon..." You moaned back.

Your cheeks burned, but you looked at them. All of them needing them a bit more than expected. In a way, everyone knew the game was over as they stood up and crowded Anya. It wasn't the usually friendly stuff they did. It was focused around lust. Luis kept his cock close your face as he pumped it faster. Luis put gently his tip around your lips and traced them together. He hissed weakly before placing his hot cock inside your mouth.

Leon removed your toy from your cunt and got down his knees and saw his lead singer's wetness pour down. "Chris..." Leon's index finger traced down her pussy lips, Chris went down on his knees as well.

Your eyes wanted to look down, but Luis basically was thrusting his cock in your mouth. Chris and Leon opened your legs and went in. Chris kissed your thighs and Leon lick gave small little licks directly from the hole. Making sure to not make the hotel chair dirty. Well, that was his mind set around it. Leon's free hand was still pumping his cock. All Chris can do is see how they went at it.

Leon's tongue moved around your folds and your pretty hole. Collecting all it can. He grabbed your hips tightly, his hot breath against your cunt as his nose rubbed you. Your hand grabbed Leon's hair and tugged on it hard.

Leon whined softly. Luis didn't even focus at the men at your feet. He caressed your cheeks as you took him in.

Your drool traveled down your tits as you moaned like a pathetic toy. Luis slapped your tits and held them, "Fuck, fuck, si..." He grunted weakly.

Leon looked up at you and noticed all the wetness collecting on your pretty cunt. Chris groaned, "This sucks..." His eyes widen when he saw how Luis had you, "We need a better position." He whispered softly. Luis grinned, "Ye-yeah, I need to keep this mouth on my dick..." Leon pressed his nose on your clit before licking it again.

Luis pulled out. You coughed loudly, finally catching your breath. Chris needed to think fast.

Chris stood up and gently kissed your lips. "Can you handle it?" He whispered softly. Your eyes soften, "I can try." You didn't want neither of them left out. He smiled. Despite being the biggest of the three, he was gentle and knew his strength. Leon was accidentally too rough, he didn't mean to, but his strength came into place.

You were carefully placed on the bed into doggy. It felt embarrassing until you felt Chris slowly press his cock around your folds. In front of you, Luis and Leon's cocks were on your face. Luis caressed the top of your head, "Good thing we don't have a concert tomorrow, huh?" Leon smiled too, "We'll be gentle." You knew could trust your drummer and your base player.

Chris grabbed your hips and slowly began to thrust. He groaned weakly. He gently squeezed your butt. Luis and Leon gently shoved their cock into your mouth. They were expecting a blowjob. Just your mouth on them. You groaned softly when you felt Chris's fingertips hold your hip tightly. Luis groaned softly, "Leon, I think we have to handle it ourselves."

Leon whined softly. Luis kissed your lips, "When Chris is done, it'll be our turn." Luis sighed softly, "It's going to end up gay."

"Actually, like Marlon Brando," Leon said, "He slept with men and women to ease himself." Luis sighed softly, "I can't believe we are the same age."

Leon rolled his eyes until he felt Luis's lips on his. Chris thrusted deeper into you, pinning you as he pushed you arched back down. Chris groaned softly as his large arms held your waist. Chris kissed your cheek, his dick was slamming in and out of you. Luis and Leon were just happily making out on the bed in front of you. You gasped weakly once Chris rubbed your clit as he kept and kept going. Your squirmed a bit, kicking your feet a bit, "Chris!" You yelped loudly. Chris rubbed your clit faster, "Sa-save that voice."

You whined loudly, you couldn't take it anymore.

It was too simulating. Seeing Leon's and Luis's cock drag against each other. Bumping into each other. Chris's own cock pumping you, your kicked around, "Chris..." Chris grabbed you and sat you up. His hands grabbed your hips as he moved you up and down.

Leon and Luis were in their own heaven as they gently kissed. Luis' hand caressed Leon's hips and pulled him closer, Luis grabbed Leon's blond hair and pulled him close. Leon moaned softly, his eyes fluttered a bit trying to see Luis, but his mind was stuck on the kiss. Leon pumped their dicks together with the pace Chris had in you. Luis cursed weakly, his hips moved up a bit trying to feel more of Leon.

Your toes curled up, your back arched that specific way and it was takeaway on Chris's actions. Chris rubbed gently your stomach, "C'mon... Luis and Leon need you like I do..." Your eyes weakly looked at how their tips' pre-cum were sticking together. "Mm, need..." You whispered softly. You wanted to choke on them, but you weren't thinking clear and Chris knew so. "Later." His fingers rubbed your clit again, little by little it went faster and faster. Until you released. Your cunt clenched around Chris's cock and attempted to squeeze all of him, but Chris thought it double and wore a rubber. Even Luis and Leon made a mess on Luis's stomach, they all gasped for air for a bit.

You laid on the bed, and Chris held you from the back. Luis and Leon soon followed. Holding each other tightly to give comfort. Luis groaned softly, "So, now what? Is this part of our bonding now?" Guess the Beatles were kind of right.

[my-writings-and-musings]

use this ask as an excuse to post something self indulgent >:3

I wrote two other fics that were just too self indulgent before deciding on this one I hope you're ready to accept the consequences of your actions anon, and that everyone here likes robot babies. (Thank you very much for this I really enjoyed writing it!)

"Hey, you awake?"

Tired eyes opening wide from a sleep you hadn't intended to slip into, your breath hitched in surprise, arms tightening over the bundle in your grasp in a protective reflex. You found a digit holding your chin up and a careful servo supporting your shoulder to keep you sitting up in bed, compelling you to relax with a sigh. You must have really been exhausted if Bee had been able to climb on the berth without you noticing. 

"Apparently." you replied in a weak croak, still struggling to form words after so much screaming and exertion. Bumblebee smiled, grabbing some of the abundant spare pillows to pile them at your back for more support. Sighing, you allowed yourself to sink backwards, much too tired to hold any part of your body up for long. The simple act of cradling the tiny bundle across your arms was taxing enough.

"I can take him, if you want to get some sleep." Bumblebee offered as he laid down on his side to partially encircle you. In the dim light of the makeshift delivery room his optics cast a soft blue glow for you to see by, and after blinking some of the sleep from your eyes you smiled down at the tiny form snoozing in your arms, pulling the blankets away from his face for a better look. 

"I will... I just want to look at him a little longer." you said in a whisper, smile deepening as the sleeping sparkling cooed softly from a dream. He was certainly much cuter now that he'd been cleaned off and had stopped squalling, but you'd loved him from the moment his tiny form had been laid on your chest, the differences in your biology not even registering as he'd huddled against you for protection from the big, scary world. In the few hours that had passed since his birth you'd noticed many little things that had first missed your attention, from a pair of tiny horns atop his rounded helm to the lovely shade of amber blooming across his smooth, soft carapace, and you didn't want to miss even the smallest new discovery. Bumblebee seemed to share your wonder as he cupped a much larger servo beneath the newborn.

"We did make a pretty cute bitlet." he agreed affectionately, stroking the tip of his thumb over their chubby cheek. His son reflexively nuzzled into the touch, warming your heart as it had been when he'd first held the tiny being you'd created together in the happiest of accidents. Much like the sparkling, Bee had been weeping then, though his tears had come from the same unmatched joy currently pulling up his lips in a contented smile. "Has he been sleeping the whole time I was gone?"

"Pretty much. I guess being born really tuckered him out." you replied with a tiny chuckle, remembering how swiftly the sparkling had gone from wailing to conking out in your arms once Ratchet had cleaned and swaddled him. Despite never having overseen a delivery from an organic carrier before, the medic had been one of the only sources of calm in the room when you'd gone into labor, a trend that had begun the moment he'd confirmed that you and Bumblebee were expecting. Nine months and an exhaustive series of lessons on adaptive Cybertronian genetics later, here you all were...

"If it tuckered you out, you're free to get some sleep." Bumblebee offered suddenly, taking you out of your thoughts. A part of you wanted to accept without hesitation, but a much newer part of you didn't want to part from your offspring for a moment, and certainly not for the multiple hours of rest your body would require. Though you knew you'd eventually concede, the strength of that new facet of yourself was quite surprising.

"Soon enough, I promise." you assured with a yawn, adjusting the newborn so you could rub your tired eyes. Nowhere near your phone or a window, it occurred to you that time had more or less slipped away after you'd started measuring the gap between contractions. You weren't even sure how long you'd been in labor or if it was even the same day. "What time is it?"

"Late. Technically so late it's early. Alex and Dot sent all the kids to bed, Terrans included. They're pretty worn out from the excitement." Bumblebee explained with amusement. Recalling how you'd granted the children a visit once everything had calmed down after the delivery, and how it had been a wonderful but exhausting blur of excitement, awe and happy tears, you weren't surprised to hear they were all worn out and in need of a nap. With all the work their parents had done keeping their children's excitement in check, while still gushing over the newborn themselves, you wouldn't have been surprised if the whole family needed rest. 

"They were very excited. I lost track of how many pictures Hashtag took." you replied through a tiny chuckle. Putting your hand over Bumblebee's so the two of you cradled the sparkling together, you tried to keep the attention off yourself, not wanting to acknowledge that you were indeed on the very edge of passing out. "What about you? Don't you need some sleep?"

"Soon enough." he said in a voice that didn't disguise his own exhaustion. Sliding his thumb downwards to one of the sparkling's tiny fists, he allowed the little one to reflexively grasp the tip with his stubby digits, making your heart melt at the cuteness. Bumblebee went quiet with a deep, contemplative smile as the two of you watched over your son without needing to speak. It was hard to believe he'd be a standard sized bot one day, but in fairness to yourself, it was hard to believe this little bundle was even here. Bee sounded equally awed when he finally broke the thoughtful silence. "I wouldn't mind a little time to just look at him either."

"Okay..." you conceded with a sigh, unable to deny that you needed to rest any longer. It also seemed fair for Bee to get a turn with the little one, especially considering you'd been holding him the majority of his life so far. Unable to let go easily, you transferred the newborn with the focus of a sculptor handing over the world's most delicate glass, feeling an instinctive surge of protection as Bee took him into his palms and their tiny weight was removed from your grasp. You couldn't stop yourself from babbling through the urge to take him back and never let go. "But if you need me-"

"The Maltos are ready if I need help, along with Ratchet and every other member of the team. You don't have to worry about us, but you do need sleep." Bumblebee responded quickly but with full patience, speaking with so much confidence he must have anticipated your hesitation. Your mild embarrassment at this newfound overprotectiveness was soothed when you considered how your extended friends and family had more or less turned the Dugout into an armored fortress to protect the new arrival, complete with checks of the perimeter and the installation of multiple high powered weapons to counter any threat foolish enough to attempt an attack. With the Maltos and the Autobots fretting over his safety together, it was possible your baby was the safest one on Earth. Bumblebee didn't need to offer any further encouragement as he held the newborn against his chest with one servo and tucked you in with the other. "We'll be here when you wake up."

"Fair enough." you conceded with a sigh, more weary than you would have thought possible as you finally allowed yourself to be put to bed. Your eyes lingered on the tiny bundle for a moment longer, and the last vestiges of your worry slipped away as you watched the tiny mech yawn and snuggle against his sire for warmth. For now, you truly hadn't a thing to worry about.

[beegalactica]

be your own AESTHETIC - how to become YOU-core pt.1

HI beautiful people~ Apologies for my absence, I've been busy living my best life! The biggest change I've undergone these past few months has had to do with my identity and how I view myself. I used to be so scared of 'doing too much' so I was never true to myself, but now that I am EMBRACING myself and my quirks, the strangest thing has been happening...

It's like I've become my own BRAND to my friends, classmates, and social circles. They attribute things to ME and recognise certain aspects about me as AUTHENTICALLY ME. They see my clothes, jewellery, and actions and say "That's so beegalactica of you!"

I assure you, I haven't been going around inventing things; I've been harnessing them. Here's how you can too <3~

I've split these tips into lifestyle in this post and education in my next post because they're my two main priorities in this season of my life.

Lifestyle:

Have your own staple style.

Gone are the days of fitting into exactly one style. You don't need to religiously follow one aesthetic. Maybe you like pastel clothes one day, then all black baggy clothes the next, IT DOESN'T MATTER. The real mark of a fashion girlie is being able to take all these styles as inspiration and create something so authentically YOU. Fashion is yours to play with, so mix and match things that you like from different aesthetics and make yourself happy.

Put yourself first and set boundaries.

Know what exactly your boundaries are and make sure the people around you know as well. If you need some help, write a list of things you would not let anyone say or do to you. Then keep this list in your head. Do not accept poor behaviour from people around you who should know better. A good rule of thumb is to not accept behaviour from others that you wouldn't inflict onto them; so if you would never talk down on someone or try to invalidate them, then why the hell should they be allowed to do that to you?

Curate your (digital) environment.

De-centre your digital life. Start blocking accounts, pressing 'not interested' on posts/ accounts you don't like, and block trends you don't want to see. Do not let social media have a grip over you. Follow hashtags that you want to see more of, and limit things that could be triggering for you, or set you back. It's okay to not be on top of all the latest trends! Internet FOMO is an illusion.

Don't be afraid to break conventions.

In our current society, the pressure to conform is so strong. Don't feel like you need to put yourself into a strict box that confines you. That's not a life worth living.

Personally, I recently shaved 90% of my hair and this was a huge worry for me because I was so scared of not looking 'feminine enough' or feeling like I have to put in extra effort to show people that I am no less of a woman despite my short hair. (I'm a black girl so there are also extra internalised societal stereotypes about black women and femininity at play here.) The truth is, no matter what I look like, I will always be 'feminine enough' because I know that I naturally embody femininity.

You will always be enough. Worrying about what others think only holds you back. Their beliefs are not going to change, whether you conform or not. Embrace your authenticity and look flawless doing it.

Hope some things here stuck with you! I will be back for the education/ studying side soon so look forward to that! Please also let me know any topics or questions you want me to discuss! Have an amazing day <3

doesn’t it make you feel bad? having full control. she woke up and you ruined her. now she’s hurting and you hide your hands. it’s your fault. it’s your fault. it’s our fault. FEB 2022.

on february fourteenth twenty twenty - two, hijinxx would release their second extended play addiction: take down on all streaming platforms.

five tracks to the ep’s name, the group would come back after two months since their previous digital release sweet juice, the song acting as a segue into the new body of work.

ahyeon is credited across the board on the ep, from lyrics to composition to the final arrangements. #ahyeonfirstwin! it did spark a lot of fans worried about her being already so overworked… but she was quick to assure fans that her passion could never be draining to her.

take down is described as the first breaking point. if sweet juice is them indulging themselves to their fill, answering the call and falling to their respective demise, take down is the first inkling of something truly wrong. it’s the weird gut feeling when things are too still for the actions you’ve committed, sinking to nestle in your stomach to fester slowly. slowly do you begin to realize what you’ve done and the first thing you do is panic as your actions cannot be undone. your prayers go unanswered and your begging falls on deaf ears. the consequences are yours and yours alone to bear. still, you blame outside forces on the choices you made with your own two hands.

each song can yet again be interpreted as a look into each entity’s experience through their respective turbulent time. in order, as well. with ahyeon vowing to topple each obstacle in take down to yuina’s confession during the bridge of chasing dreams, the girls then come together to collectively blame love as their reason out. and isn’t it so convenient to always have a way out?

STYLING & COMMENTARY.

the idea was to show the slow progression of deterioration due to lack of self - regulation. the outfits start in their usual coordinated but detailed to each member fashion, but as they perform more and more stages, each entity slowly begins to become sluggish—shown through ripped seams or loosely draped fabric. of course, in order, the changes were noticeable in yuina first, then eunji, followed then by micha and ahyeon.

the stage outfits began to get progressively ‘worse’ alongside their performances. previously sharp angles turned into sloppier with each stage, the formations falling apart more and more. makeup would look as if a toddler had been given the liberty of head mua and hair stylist. it would leave netizens divided until a fan would take it upon themselves to string a cohesive in-lore timeline, a thread that would soon cement itself as an great fandom reference for new fans. the account, an anonymous user by the name of jinxedtwice would even be acknowledged by the girls themselves, leaving fans to wonder how the person knew so much.

COMEBACK SUMMARY.

comeback on valentine’s day with a dark sound about the consequences of overindulgence? don’t mind if i doooo… trixx welcomed the concept with open arms! (un)happy trended the highest that month as fans used the song to post their own ruined makeup looks for the rest of the month, even breaking into local territory. in total, their comeback boasted six wins, including a show! music core win. and speaking of mucore..

did we tell you that yuina was selected as a host? no? well now you know! she was chosen to replace minju in november the previous year after the actress would step down for personal reasons and quick to become a fan favorite for her quick with and facial reactions. and she would soon claim netizen’s hearts once again as she would breakdown before announcing her group’s win on the show.

Fed up with reading biased reviews and analysis from SaaS vendors themselves?We understand; they're often just trying to sell their services. That's why we've created this guide – to provide you with a straightforward and unbiased overview.

In the digital realm, where every like, share, and follow counts, it is not surprising that the social media marketing agency has emerged as a game changer.

As the digital landscape reshapes traditional marketing norms, the role of social media agencies is increasingly gaining prominence, acting as a critical nexus between businesses and their audiences.

Why so?

The numbers are impressive, but the real potential lies in the connections, engagement, and relationships built on these platforms.

A social media agency wears many hats – from strategist and content creator to community manager and data analyst. Leveraging their expertise, businesses can tap into the potential of social media, sparking conversations around their brand, engaging with their audience, and driving growth.

Let’s embark on a journey to explore the fascinating world of running a successful social media agency.

Chapter 1

Chapter 1: Starting Your Social Media Agency

1.1 Identifying Your Niche

The answer is your niche.

In the digital marketing world, a “one size fits all” approach rarely brings success. Your agency must have a unique focus that aligns with your passion, expertise, and market demand.

Niches can be industry-specific, demographic-focused, or platform-centric. However, your niche should resonate with you and be something you’re passionate about, as this passion will be your fuel on this journey.

So, whether you’re a fitness enthusiast wanting to help gyms with their social media, or a tech wizard focused on helping software companies, finding the right niche will make your services more targeted, valuable, and sought-after.

1.2 Building a Solid Foundation

An idea without a foundation is like a skyscraper without its base—destined to crumble.

Building a robust foundation for your social media agency involves a deep understanding of your brand, services, goals, and objectives.

Think of your brand as a person. What does it stand for?

What are its values?

What is its personality?

Setting clear goals and objectives is another crucial aspect.

What are you aiming to achieve in the next year?

Maybe it is to secure five ongoing clients or to reach a specific revenue milestone. Having these goals allows you to develop a roadmap for your agency’s growth.

Remember, these goals should be SMART – Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-bound.

Solidifying your brand, defining your services, and setting clear goals is like building a strong foundation for your agency. These elements are the bedrock upon which the rest of your business strategy will be built.

1.3 Packaging Your Services

Deciding on which services to offer is only half the battle won. The real challenge lies in packaging them attractively, thus appealing to your potential clients.

Think about it from the clients’ perspective – why should they choose your services over others?

What unique value proposition are you offering?

A neat trick is to offer services in bundles, where each package caters to different needs and budgets.

For instance, a basic package could include content creation and basic SEO, a mid-tier package might offer social media management and engagement tracking, and a premium package could provide a complete solution, including paid ad campaigns, comprehensive SEO, and data analytics.

By doing so, you’re not just selling services but solutions that promise results, packaged to meet diverse client needs and budgets.

1.4 Winning Clients

A useful starting point is leveraging your personal and professional network. Reach out to local businesses, attend industry events, join online communities, and let them know about your services.

Remember, word-of-mouth is a powerful tool. Satisfied customers can become your brand ambassadors, bringing in more clients.

Regularly publish blogs and articles on industry trends and best practices. This positions you as a thought leader in your niche, attracting more clients.

Social proof is another powerful way to attract clients. Case studies, testimonials, and client success management stories provide tangible evidence of your capabilities. It helps build trust and credibility with potential clients.

However, the most important strategy for winning clients is delivering top-notch service. Your clients are investing their money and trust in you, and nothing speaks louder than results.

Make their satisfaction your top priority, and they’ll not only stick around but also refer you to others. Building strong, long-lasting relationships with your clients is the real secret to a successful social media agency.

Chapter 2: Running Successful Social Media Campaigns

2.1 Understanding Your Audience

So, how do you get to know your audience?

It’s not about guessing or assuming; it is about data-driven insights. Social media platforms are a treasure trove of data.

Leveraging analytics tools like Google Analytics, Hootsuite, or Sprout Social, you can uncover vital information about your audience—demographics, interests, online behaviors, and more.

It’s about knowing what resonates with them, what sparks their interest, what drives them to engage, or what influences their purchasing decisions.

These insights will help you tailor your content, tone, and messaging, ensuring they hit the right chord with your audience.

Remember, understanding your audience isn’t a one-time process; it is continuous. As audience preferences evolve, so should your understanding.

Always be on your toes, ready to learn, adapt, and deliver what your audience truly wants.

2.2 Creating Engaging Content

In the world of social media, content is the currency. It is how you engage with your audience, how you communicate your brand message, and how you drive actions – be it likes, shares, comments, or conversions.

So, how do you create content that not only grabs attention but also incites engagement?

How-to guides, thought leadership articles, fun quizzes, or behind-the-scenes stories?

This is where your audience analysis comes into play.

Quality trumps quantity every time. It is better to post less frequently but provide value with each post.

Always ask yourself, “What’s in it for the audience?”

Ensure your content adds value, be it in the form of information, entertainment, or inspiration.

Don’t forget the power of storytelling. People connect with stories, so weave your brand message into a story. Share success stories, customer testimonials, or your journey, making your brand more relatable.

Lastly, encourage engagement. Ask questions, seek opinions, run contests, or use interactive features like polls or quizzes.

The more your audience interacts with your content, the higher the chances of it being seen by a broader audience, thanks to the algorithms of social media platforms.

Creating engaging content isn’t about luck; it is about understanding your audience, delivering value, and fostering engagement.

If done right, it can turn your social media platforms into bustling communities, driving growth for your agency.

2.3 Monitoring and Adjusting Your Campaigns

Social media isn’t a “set it and forget it” game. It is a dynamic ecosystem that demands constant monitoring and adjustments.

Why?

Because social media trends evolve rapidly, audience preferences change, and what works today might not work tomorrow.

Tools like Buffer, Agorapulse, Sendible, Sprout Social, and Hootsuite offer comprehensive analytics to track these metrics.But numbers alone don’t tell the full story. Dive deeper to understand what these numbers mean.

Are your posts getting good engagement but low click-throughs?

Maybe your call-to-actions aren’t compelling enough.

Is your follower growth slow?

Perhaps you need to be more active in community engagement.

Don’t shy away from experimenting. Try different types of content, posting at different times, using various hashtags. See what works best and double down on those strategies.

And don’t forget to keep an eye on your competition.

What are they doing differently?

Can you learn from their successes or mistakes?

Remember, monitoring and adjusting your campaigns isn’t a once-in-a-while task; it is an ongoing process. The more frequently you check and adjust, the better your campaigns will perform.

After all, the key to winning the social media game is staying agile and ready to adapt.

2.4 Measuring Success

Measurement is the compass that guides your social media journey. It tells you if you’re heading in the right direction or if it is time to pivot.

But in the sea of data that social media provides, what should you measure?

Here are some key metrics to keep an eye on:

Engagement rate is a measure of how much your audience interacts with your content. It includes likes, comments, shares, saves, or click-throughs.

Reach and impressions tell you how many people saw your post and how often. If these numbers are low, perhaps you need to adjust your posting schedule, use different hashtags, or promote your posts to reach a wider audience.

Follower growth is a measure of how your audience size is growing. While it is not the only metric to focus on, a steady growth in followers indicates people find value in your content and want to see more.

Conversion rate is the ultimate measure of your campaign success.

If your conversions are low, maybe you need to tweak your call-to-actions or offer more compelling incentives.

Remember, these numbers are just data unless you glean insights from them.

What are they telling you about your audience, your content, or your strategies?

What lessons can you learn, and how can you apply them to future campaigns?

In the end, success in social media isn’t just about hitting numbers; it is about understanding what these numbers mean, learning from them, and using these insights to continually refine your strategies. Because in social media, as in life, the real success lies in continual learning and growth.

Chapter 3: Growing Your Social Media Agency

3.1 Scaling Your Services

There’s a fine line between growing and scaling. Growth often means adding resources at the same rate that you’re adding revenue, but scaling is about adding revenue at an exponential rate without incurring significant costs.

As you experience success with your social media agency, it is crucial to think about how to scale effectively.

Knowing when to scale is as important as knowing.

How are you turning away potential clients due to lack of capacity?

Is your team consistently overwhelmed with tasks?

Are your existing clients asking for more services that you currently do not offer?

As you scale, focus on your core competencies. You don’t need to be everything to everyone. Identify the services that you excel at and that your clients love, and expand on those.

Outsourcing tasks that are not within your core competencies can also help you focus on what truly matters.

Invest in tools and technology that can automate or simplify your processes. This can include social media scheduling tools, analytics tools, or project management tools. By automating repetitive tasks, you free up time to focus on strategic decisions.

But remember, while you’re scaling your services, never compromise on quality. Quality is what earned you your clients in the first place, and it is what will keep them around as you grow.

3.2 Building a Team

Behind every successful social media agency is a strong, skilled team. As you scale your services, you’ll need more hands on deck. However, building a team isn’t just about hiring more people; it is about hiring the right people.

Start by identifying the roles you need. You’ll likely need social media managers, content creators, graphic designers, ad specialists, and possibly more, depending on your range of services.

When hiring, look for individuals who bring not only the necessary technical skills but also align with your agency’s culture and values. Remember, skills can be taught, but attitude and work ethic can’t.

Once you’ve hired your team, invest in their growth. Provide them with regular training and resources to stay abreast of the latest trends and techniques in social media.

Delegate responsibilities effectively. Make sure each team member knows their roles and responsibilities. Clear delegation not only increases efficiency but also empowers your team, leading to higher job satisfaction.

Finally, celebrate wins and learn from losses as a team. Foster a culture where each member feels valued and part of the bigger picture. After all, the strength of your agency lies in the strength of its team.

3.3 Expanding Your Client Base

Attracting new clients while retaining the current ones is an art every social media agency needs to master. Your client base is the lifeline of your agency, so it is crucial to keep expanding it.

Start by identifying your ideal client.

What industry are they in?

What size is their business?

What are their pain points?

The more specific you can get, the more targeted your marketing efforts will be.

Leverage your existing clients. Word-of-mouth is a powerful marketing tool. Encourage your clients to refer you to their networks. You can even offer a referral program with incentives to make it more appealing.

Content marketing can also help attract new clients. By sharing valuable, relevant content on your website or social media platforms, you can establish yourself as a thought leader in your field, attracting potential clients.

Networking should not be overlooked. Attend industry events, join online forums, or participate in LinkedIn groups. The more people in your industry know about you, the higher the chances of getting client referrals.

In the end, expanding your client base is about building relationships. Whether it is with potential clients, existing clients, or industry peers, invest time and effort in nurturing these relationships, and they’ll pay dividends in the long run.

3.4 Staying Ahead of the Curve

In the ever-evolving world of social media, the only constant is change. Trends shift, algorithms update, and new platforms emerge. To stay relevant and successful, your agency needs to stay ahead of the curve.

First and foremost, be a lifelong learner. Social media is a rapidly changing field, and what worked a few months ago might not work today.

Follow industry blogs, attend webinars and conferences, participate in online forums, and learn from other industry leaders.

Tools like Google Trends, BuzzSumo, or SEMrush can help you keep track of the latest trends.

Don’t be afraid to experiment. The best way to understand a new trend or platform is to get your hands dirty.

Try out different types of content, experiment with new formats, explore different platforms. Some of these experiments might fail, but the lessons learned will be invaluable.

So, even if a new trend feels daunting, lean into it. You never know—it might be the next big thing for your agency.

Staying ahead of the curve isn’t just about being the first to jump on a new trend; it is about continually evolving, learning, and adapting to the changing landscape.

It’s about being proactive, not reactive. In the fast-paced world of social media, that’s what sets successful agencies apart.

Conclusion

How can I attract clients to my social media agency?

Attracting clients to your social media agency involves several strategies. You can leverage your existing network, offer a referral program to incentivize current clients to refer you to their networks, create valuable content that showcases your expertise, and participate in networking events or online groups. Remember, building a client base is about building relationships.

What services should a social media agency offer?

The services a social media agency offers depend on its niche and expertise. Common services include social media management, content creation, social media advertising, strategy development, audience analysis, and social media auditing. You can also offer package deals that include a combination of these services.

How can I make my social media campaigns more effective?

Effective social media campaigns start with a deep understanding of your audience. Once you know who your audience is, you can create content that resonates with them. Regularly monitor and adjust your campaigns based on performance, and measure success using key metrics such as engagement, reach, and conversion rates. It is also crucial to stay current with social media trends and incorporate them into your campaigns.

What are the key metrics to track in a social media campaign?

Key metrics to track in a social media campaign vary based on your goals. However, common metrics include reach (how many people see your content), engagement (likes, shares, comments), click-through rate (how many people click on your links), and conversion rate (how many people take a desired action, such as making a purchase or signing up for a newsletter). Understanding and analyzing these metrics can provide insights into your campaign performance and guide future strategies.
