This is where creative agencies come into picture. But what exactly are creative agencies, and how can they help in branding?

What is a Creative Agency?

A creative agency is a team of professionals who specialize in creating and implementing innovative marketing strategies to enhance a brand's visibility and credibility. These agencies employ a range of creative techniques such as graphic design, copywriting, web development, and social media management to craft a compelling brand identity that resonates with the target audience.

Branding agencies offer a comprehensive set of services tailored to meet the unique needs of each client. These services may include:

Brand Strategy: A branding agency will work closely with you to develop a clear brand strategy that aligns with your business goals and objectives. This involves identifying your target audience, defining your brand positioning, and crafting a brand story that sets you apart from your competitors.

Visual Identity:Creative agencies excel in designing visually appealing logos, color schemes, typography, and other visual elements that form part of your brand's identity. They ensure consistency across all marketing collaterals to establish a cohesive and memorable brand image.

Content Creation: Content is king in today's digital age. A branding agency can create engaging and informative content for your brand, including website copy, blog posts, social media content, and advertisements.

Fresh Perspective: By collaborating with a creative agency, you gain access to a team of experts who can offer fresh ideas and perspectives. Their extensive experience and diverse skill set enable them to think outside the box and introduce innovative concepts that can revitalize your brand.

Strategic Approach: Branding agencies have a strategic approach to brand development. They will conduct thorough market research, analyze consumer behavior, and identify industry trends to inform their branding strategies. This ensures that the decisions made align with your target audience's preferences and expectations.

What is Social Media Optimization? How to Best Use it?

Introduction

Social Media Optimization (SMO) has become an integral part of any successful digital marketing strategy. As social media platforms continue to dominate the online landscape, businesses and individuals alike are leveraging SMO techniques to enhance their online presence, engage with their target audience, and drive traffic to their websites. In this blog, we will explore what social media optimization is and how you can best use it to maximize your online impact.

What is Social Media Optimization (SMO)?

Social Media Optimization (SMO) refers to the process of optimizing your social media profiles, content, and activities to increase your brand visibility, attract more followers, and generate organic traffic. It involves various techniques and strategies aimed at improving your social media presence and leveraging the power of social media platforms to achieve your marketing goals.

Best Practices for Social Media Optimization

1. Define Your Goals and Target Audience: Before diving into SMO, it's crucial to clearly define your goals and identify your target audience. Determine what you want to achieve through social media and who your ideal audience is. This will help you tailor your SMO efforts towards reaching the right people with the right message.

2. Optimize Your Profiles: Your social media profiles serve as a representation of your brand. Ensure that your profiles are complete, consistent, and visually appealing. Use relevant keywords in your profile descriptions, include a link to your website, and use high-quality images or logos as your profile pictures and cover photos.

3. Engaging Content Creation: Content is at the heart of social media optimization. Create and share engaging, valuable, and relevant content that resonates with your target audience. Use a mix of text, images, videos, and other media formats to keep your content diverse and captivating. Focus on providing educational, entertaining, or inspirational content that encourages interaction and sharing.

4. Strategic Hashtag Usage: Hashtags play a crucial role in increasing the discoverability of your social media posts. Research and use relevant hashtags that are popular in your industry or are trending among your target audience. This will help your content reach a wider audience beyond your immediate followers.

5. Consistent Posting Schedule: Consistency is key when it comes to SMO. Develop a posting schedule and stick to it. Regularly share fresh content to keep your audience engaged and maintain a steady presence on social media. Use social media management tools to schedule your posts in advance, ensuring a consistent flow of content.

6. Encourage Engagement: Social media is all about fostering engagement and building relationships. Encourage your audience to like, comment, and share your posts. Respond to comments and messages promptly, and actively engage with your followers. This not only boosts your online visibility but also helps establish trust and loyalty among your audience.

7. Influencer Marketing: Collaborating with influencers who have a significant following and influence in your niche can amplify your SMO efforts. Identify relevant influencers in your industry and explore partnership opportunities. Their endorsement and promotion of your brand can greatly expand your reach and credibility.

8. Social Media Advertising: While organic reach is important, social media advertising can significantly boost your SMO results. Platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn offer powerful advertising tools that allow you to target specific demographics, interests, and behaviors. Invest in paid social media ads to reach a broader audience and drive targeted traffic to your website.

9. Monitor and Analyze: To optimize your SMO strategy, it's crucial to track and analyze your social media performance. Make use of analytics tools provided by social media platforms or use third-party analytics tools to monitor key metrics like engagement rate, reach, impressions, and click-through rates. Use this data to identify what's working well and make informed decisions for future optimization.

10. Stay Updated with Trends and Best Practices: The social media landscape is constantly evolving. Stay updated with the latest trends, algorithms, and best practices in SMO. Join industry communities, follow experts, and attend webinars or conferences to stay ahead of the curve and adapt your SMO strategy accordingly.

In conclusion, Social Media Optimization (SMO) is a powerful tool for enhancing your brand's online presence, engaging with your audience, and driving website traffic. By following best practices, optimizing your profiles and content, and staying consistent and strategic in your approach, you can leverage the full potential of social media platforms to achieve your marketing goals and grow your business. Embrace the power of SMO and make the most of your social media presence.

I like drawing silly things

hello Ever After High tumblr community, i humbly request your attention briefly.

so basically, i have a lot of Ever After High ideas clogging my head, ranging from misc. concepts, to plans for entire storylines/arcs. (this includes world building regarding both what we’ve already seen and what we haven’t yet seen, character arcs and development, fairytales and fairytale characters we have yet to actually meet onscreen, etc.)

i doubt anyone cares that much, but i have this vision for how the rest of the Ever After High story (in the tv continuity) would go. i have tentative plans to write this continuation using the 4 episode per story arc format that eah later switched to, while staying in line with the tone and writing style of the specials/webisodes so that it feels like it could naturally work as an official, canon continuation of the series, all while still telling a compelling narrative.

currently i have a rough outline for the first four-episode story arc that i’ve come up with (though i still have a few things i wanna workshop with it) written out. (side note: i typically write the finished draft of stuff in screenplay format, so the rough outline is written with eventually being transferred into that format in mind.)

i just wanted to post this to see if there’s any actual, palpable interest in this at all. and because my friends think i’m insane for keeping my work to myself & the select few people i’ve chosen to show it to as opposed to publicly sharing it because they at least think it’s good enough to be shown off.

so, yeah, just putting this out there incase there are people who wanna know more. i’d be willing to share the aforementioned rough outline i’ve written.

tldr; i want to write—and finish—the story of Ever After High.

There's something interesting about certain people being able to laugh (or ignore if they feel it's not funny) some nicknames and memes in a certain fandom, like the JJK fandom was known for its plethora of memes, and even some OP fans come up with weekly new memes to cope about the manga/episodes and it's widely accepted to be in good fun...

But then when you type(d) "Supreme Leader" suddenly wild sealife pops up and asks you to stop being disrespectful to the people who like her character and what not.

Fan-favorite Ace can be donut'd, but you can't shitpost about Supreme Leader's information campaign.

only thing i’m gonna say about the whole ronance tag on ao3 but that is someone who wants to do harm.

i’ve already gone through this on the 100 fandom with a different lesbian character. lesbophobes wanted to paint her as a predator anyway they could. what this person is doing was one of those ways.

this is someone who wants to paint robin as a predator.

let me say that again. they want to paint robin, a lesbian, as a predator.

This is going to sound really weird, I know, but I seriously feel like there's a number of like, British communists who desperately wish they were Eastern European??? Like they think that by being into political side of communism (usually not the kind that existed in Eastern Europe), they can be chummy with people who actually grew up in Eastern Europe and were raised with the communist era somewhere in the background their whole life, usually without knowing the nitty gritty of theory but with a lot of cultural herritage from that time...

Like no, there's a big difference between being British, being raised in British culture, with cultural institutions, history, traditions, then getting into communist theory and just assuming that you know everything about life in communist Eastern Europe, and then pulling a "how do you do fellow commies" to people from Eastern Europe whose associations with communism are much different, and they will see you as detached and insensitive at best.

It's human nature to gain or lose hope when you see Netflix socials promoting Byler or Midleven, but we've gotta pull back the curtain to see the full picture.

First, always remind yourself that the Stranger Things team and Netflix are completely separate entities. Netflix is the vehicle the ST team are driving their story on, but they're not the same people who actually create it. They get little to no say in what the ST writers write.

I say 'little' because the bones of each season will have been greenlit by select Netflix higher-ups (with NDA's signed). But if the Stranger Things team want Storyline A, and Netflix were to say no, what about Storyline B? Then the ST team are absolutely capable of standing their ground and not moving. Perhaps some compromises can be made, but the final say will be down to how stubborn the ST writers can be. This was made apparent by the Duffer Brothers’ open stance on the writing and acting strikes, which directly opposed Netflix. It mattered to them that in the future, writers will continue to have control over their work. That Netflix can't just weasel out of their contracts with shows and write their own endings with AI. Right now, Netflix provide funding, connections, and a platform to host stories on. The ST team provide their content, the original idea, the heart and soul. It's a mutually beneficial relationship.

When it comes to promoting stuff on social media, we have several teams working separately. This leads to exchanges like this from the Netflix Tudum event:

This is two completely different social media teams interacting with each other. Most important to remember though - right now, the Netflix social media team won't know anything about Season 5. The earliest they may be told anything important will be at the start of the Season 5 promotional campaigns, but even then, it's not a given. NDA's will be in effect at Netflix right up until the bitter end. The social media people will be working in tandem with the marketing team, all of them given set content or working under guidelines when told what they can promote/ talk about.

Secondly, they're just ordinary people doing their job. When it comes to liking comments or replying to them, it will all differ depending on which person happens to be logged into the Netflix account at that time.

For ST5, it looks like Dana and Chris are two Senior Social Media Managers at Netflix US:

But look at all the related connections, and you begin to realise just how many people make up these social media teams (and marketing, which is related). And remember, this is just Netflix US - not the ST team.

So just think about how each person has their own opinions, has their own views on the show. How many of these people might ship Byler? How many ship Midleven? I bet they have their own interpersonal work politics behind the scenes, hoping their idealised ending is the right one.

My point is, there's no point freaking out about this occuring underneath Netflix US's recent post about ST S5:

All this shows is that we have a Midleven shipper in the social media team. After Season 4, a lot of people got excited at this:

But again, all this indicates is that we also have a potential Byler shipper in the Netflix UK team. It's just as pointless getting happy and excited about pro-Byler stuff on there, as it is to get worried or upset about pro-Midleven stuff.

Congrats Millie!

to be clear the real reason i don’t post a ton historically is like a blend of embarrassment and a lack of energy to put things into words resembling coherent thought. but also the real reason i don’t post a ton historically is because whenever i do ill be like teehee making a little flop post just for me lol a little no note post! and then five minutes later ill be sitting here like why is no one telling me how cool and right and smart and funny i am. what the fuck.

Listen. I was a Harry Potter kid. I read those books over and over again for probably a decade. I get it, okay? But any and all virtues that people ascribe to them are true of countless other children's book series. Many of which are less intensely bigoted. Obviously, the fact that Harry Potter became so insanely popular is indicative of something in them, whether that be engaging characters, entertaining worldbuilding, whatever, so I won't say that they're totally bad with no redeeming qualities. But they simply aren't that unique! Stop saying that they're groundbreaking or complex for whatever reason! They aren't! And like, if you have the books and want to keep rereading them or whatever I'm not gonna tell you to stop, you aren't hurting anyone. But I am begging people to recognize that the reason they like them is nostalgia, and that they are not the fucking holy grail of fantasy or children's writing. You want kids books which tackle the way adults can be wrong and hurtful and ignorant? Read A Series of Unfortunate Events. You want the escapism of being whisked off to an extraordinary world underneath this one? Read Percy Jackson. You want magical boarding school? Read A Wizard of Earthsea. There are so many other series to choose from stop fucking praising JKR her books aren't that impressive

jsyk . if you ever get mad at traumatised people engaging with a completely sfw , non-k!nk / fe.tis.h related coping mechanism that sprouts from childhood abuse / neglect or just general stress, and label them a freak or bully them or anything along that lines, you're ableist, a complete cunt and i dont like you. this goes double for if you completely REFUSE to understand the concept of what the coping mech is and why its helpful. traumatised people dont owe you normalcy and we sure as fuck dont owe you an explanation 👍 and if you disagree w/ me you can piss off
