Social Media Tips & Resources

Brandy Johnson breaks down some helpful social media tips this week:

How to Find your target audience and enhance your social media strategy on Instagram

Understanding Instagram's Algorithm for Beginners

Instagram's algorithm is pivotal in determining what content users see on their feeds. It constantly evolves to provide a personalized and engaging experience for individuals.

👉Here's an analysis of Instagram's algorithm and its key components:

✅Engagement: The algorithm prioritizes content that generates high levels of engagement, such as likes, comments, saves, and shares.

✅Relevance: It analyzes post engagement, search history, and user interactions to understand preferences and deliver personalized content.

✅Relationships: The algorithm prioritizes content from accounts that a user frequently engages with, including posts from friends, family, and accounts they interact with regularly.

✅Recency: Instagram aims to provide users with the most recent posts to keep them up to date with the latest content.

✅Usage: The algorithm considers how often a user opens the app, the duration of their sessions, and the types of content they engage with.

✅Following: The algorithm considers the accounts users follow and their content. If a user follows accounts with similar content themes, Instagram is more likely to show them related posts.

✅Explore Page: The Explore page, powered by the algorithm, offers personalized recommendations to users based on their interests and interactions. It showcases content from accounts that users may not follow but align with their preferences.

Here are a few key takeaways:

🔥Focus on creating engaging content that sparks conversations and encourages interactions from your audience.

🔥Nurture relationships with your followers by engaging with their content and responding to comments.

🔥Post consistently to maintain a presence and increase the chances of your content being seen.

🔥Use relevant hashtags to expand your reach and connect with users interested in your niche.

🔥Experiment with different content formats, such as videos, Stories, and carousels, to keep your audience engaged.

🔥Monitor your analytics to gain insights into what types of content perform best and adjust your strategy accordingly.

Creative Showcase

Abu Dhabi: One Summer Isn't Enough

As the Emirate states recover from a COVID-influenced downturn in tourism, it’s intriguing to see how Abu Dhabi’s Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi (DCT Abu Dhabi) is positioning the UAE’s capital city.

DCT is achieving this positioning through its “One Summer Isn’t Enough” campaign. The seasonal campaign has launched across 12 markets under the Experience Abu Dhabi destination brand, with a series of vibrant and light-hearted spots that showcase Abu Dhabi as the best place to experience summer highlighting a diverse range of indoor experiences, unmissable events, and unbeatable summer offers, and the emirate’s wide range of indoor attractions will ensure that visitors stay cool and comfortable.

Liquid Death: Recycled Plastic Surgery Center

Ozempic Queen or Buccal Fat Removal? Regardless of how you identify, Liquid Death is clearly playing into the beauty trends of the moment by focusing their latest campaign on plastic recycling, or rather, Plastic Surgery Recycling in a new spot starring Whitney Cummings.

Most recycling facilities send our plastic to landfills or oceans because it’s not actually profitable to recycle. So what should we do with all of this plastic trash? Introducing the Liquid Death Recycled Plastic Surgery Center. A revolutionary new approach to useless plastic garbage.

McDonald’s “Sí Pica o No Pica”

McDonald’s is asking Gen Z fans “Sí Pica o No Pica” with its newest Spicy Menu campaign helmed by Colombian American director Victoria Rivera and produced by SLMBR PRTY in collaboration with Alma.

Rivera’s approach captured the candid opinions and reactions of a diverse cast of Gen Z friends as they try out the McSpicy sandwiches and Chicken McNuggets® in various environments.

The free-flowing conversations among the friends provide honest and unscripted reactions to the level of spiciness, with ad-libs in Spanglish polling their friends for their opinions on the spice level.

Goody: A different sauce for every artist صلصة غير لكل فنان

In food brand Goody’s latest campaign, pasta is their canvas, in which consumers can express themselves to come out with a masterpiece/painting.

Goody will accompany passionate foodies with a rich range of pasta sauces to help them shine, and add a sprinkle to their Artistic masterpieces, each carrying an artistic story of their own.

Don’t Eat the Homies: Nature is a runway

Birkman Agency took the concept of an ordinary runway and flipped it on its head to promote the athletic brand, Don’t Eat the Homies, by embracing the wild and untamed beauty of the great outdoors. Birkman & team hit the trails armed with a treadmill, models ready to strut their stuff, and a whole lot of 80s spirit.

Heineken Champions Cup Final Arrivals Billboard

Heineken helped a Leinster superfan send a message to Stade Rochelais ahead of the Heineken Champions Cup Final in Dublin.

Heineken believes the bigger the rivalry, the better the rugby. That’s never been truer than this weekend as Leinster Rugby took on reigning champions Stade Rochelais in the final of the Heineken® Champions Cup in the Aviva Stadium, Dublin.

After losing to La Rochelle in the final last year, Leinster will be doing everything in their power to get the win and secure their fifth Heineken Cup. And so will their fans, it seems.

Heineken Ireland made superfan Colin Fennessy’s dream come true by helping him paint his cheeky message to La Rochelle Head Coach Ronan O’Gara (or ROG as he’s known locally) at scale in Ballyboughal Airfield, located right next to Dublin airport.

“Never too late to turn the plane around, ROG!” is big enough to be read from 30,000 ft and will be visible to all planes flying into Dublin on the La Rochelle flight path this weekend.

The message from Colin was picked up as part of Heineken’s Love Rivalry campaign where fans were invited to send cheeky voice messages to the opposing team on match day.

The mammoth message measures 15M X 10M and was created with *eco-friendly paint. The message is designed to be the first thing rugby fans see on their approach to Dublin City.

LeBron James x Taco Bell: Taco Tuesday

The trademark on the phrase “Taco Tuesday” is really burning Taco Bell and LeBron James’ burritos. Now, the two have joined forces to combat the interdict on the use of the moniker in marketing material.

In a new ad, LeBron James laments being bleeped in a candid vertical video where he shouts, “It’s Taco Tuesday!” as he continues to be bleeped throughout the ad—but he’s grateful Taco Bell is doing something about it.

Festivids 2022 Recs

Just from the first rush through:

Weapon of Choice, Busby Berkley Movies. Trippy. You put a lot of his dance and synchronised sequences together and you get something that feels like wandering through an escher painting made of bodies. It’s really trippy. Great vid.

Got the Time, Tintin Cartoon. It just made me smile. Also, Tintin does a lot of jumping out of moving vehicles.

Dance All Over Me, The Adventures of Adele Blanc-Sec. Look. I just have a soft spot for this movie. And this vid is lovely and shows Adele so well.

Eulogy, Burial of Kojo. I don’t know what this is, but wow that’s a mood. Creation of tone through image and sound. Amazing.

Fire, Burial of Kojo. Same source, very different mood, but equally as intense. Imagery.

Maneater, Plants Behaving Badly. For when you feel like watching very pretty carnivorous plants murder a lot of insects?

When I Am Laid In Earth, Floor is Lava. Would you like an absolutely dead serious eulogy for all those who cruelly perished in lava on this game show?

20 Years, Jumanji & Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle. If you want a Jumanji vid that will make you cry, because years of people’s lives got eaten by the game.

Choir, Sister Act. How much difference it makes and how much people can open up to themselves and each other when they have something they can value and share and take pride in. Lovely. I legit cried. I was expecting funny, because Sister Act is damned funny, but there is also a real journey there, and this vid showed it.

Dead of Night, The Vampires. Another one where I don’t know the source at all, but on the back of this vid I would be tempted to watch it. Tangled relationships on a haunted ship.

Less than a quarter of the top 20 movies from the last decade mentioned in this thread are shot by a black DP; only 3 black DPs are represented in the top 20. Conversely 18 of the top 20 movies are directed by Black people.

Factoring in ppl who voted for TV shows, only Queen Sugar would've made the top 20. Kira Kelly & Bruce Francis shot about 1/3 of the series (27/89 episodes).

Moonlight: 134

If Beale Street Could Talk: 65

Last Black Man in SF: 38

The Photograph: 27

The Harder They Fall: 19

Nope: 18

Queen and Slim: 18

Mother of George*: 14

Woman King: 12

Really Love*: 10

Sylvie’s Love: 9

Nanny: 9

Lover’s Rock*: 8

Pariah*: 8

Atlantiques: 8

Black Panther: 8

Us: 8

Fruitvale Station: 8

Malcolm and Marie: 7

The Burial of Kojo: 6

This list doesn't mean anything but im still going back to being a black cultural nationalist because what do you mean Last Black Man is number 3?

Blitz Bazawule - the Ghanaian who dazzled Beyoncé takes on The Color Purple

Bazawule composed and performed the score for The Burial of Kojo, telling the BBC after the film’s 2018 premiere: “Making film is, I believe, the quintessential mix of all creative endeavours – you get to be a bit of a writer, you get to be a bit of a visual artist, you get to be a bit of a musician, all in one.” #Blitz #Bazawule #Ghanaian #dazzled #Beyoncé #takes #Color #Purple
