#and shifting the responsibility of storytelling to your audience

[brujahinaskirt]

idk man my feed is constantly full of people polling their readers to ask if it's "okay" to write about xyz or add abc to their ongoing fic. and maybe i'm just making distressed noises as a byproduct of my own role in a creative industry, a space in which professionals are rarely permitted to have true authority over their commercial work once a budget is opened. but i am really troubled by how quickly it has become so common for hobbyist writers to view hobby writing as an transactional public service and not as. idk. art.

[mihai-florescu]

Putting a message i sent earlier under a read more, it has some thoughts ive expressed before tho. ES, of course

My thoughts as an EichiP... i view ! and !! as different stories in the way they're approached tbh, what i fell in love with enstars for was the character driven storytelling of one event seen through different perspectives, where you see the antagonist in one perspective become a protagonist in another story and can empathize with the entire cast like this. I fell in love with eichi's story of second chances, getting what you want and regretting your actions in the process, redemption, desperation, overcoming fate and asserting one's self into the story, saving a school in a dying industry that saved your life by giving you a dream; i consider it an arc fulfilling to the reader at the end of ! era. But we still had to continue... and it's not like we didnt get inklings of eichi's dreams of idol utopia, the idol soldier idea goes back to main story 1, but !! loses the charm of the original series through expanding the worldbuilding so much and shifting to a plot driven story that opens 10 cans of worms instead of offering resolutions. There's not really room to breathe if the stakes just keep getting higher and higher...

As for the colonisation plotline, it's been here since the beginning of ES2. The SS arc makes it obvious, but i remember even before, the talks about ES taking over from local businesses, trying to be seen as the standard, it was always the direction ensemble square as an institution would take. But the "antagonist in one story, protagonist in another" approach doesnt work anymore with such subjects. The guys responsible for this are your coworkers you share dorms with. I read the stories but cant empathize anymore, so i've been feeling disconnected from eichi for a while. I see enstars with eichi at its core but i didnt care for his center event, i read it, didnt like the ending, and overall felt off. Eichi becoming the villain of ! to attone for the war kind of loses significance if a year later he is a cartoon villain idol colonialist you can't even sympathize with anymore because of the magnitude of events. However i do think !! has done good things for some characters pushing them further or developing them in a way ! didnt. But for others...

I also have my issues with sci fi elements becoming the norm, even taken metaphorically or as hyperboles, when one of the central themes i love about enstars is humanity. Then again, i am a war era fan that relied on manipulating human desires and perceptions, and the fact that there were no monsters or gods, just humans framed as such, playing on people's fears and beliefs, it's a bit jarring to me to have them introduce AIs forming from escaped comatose brains (im minimizing the switch climax rn, i didnt even hate it as a whole, just this resolution im unhappy with)

It also feels like we've lost some of the meta aspects of the writing i liked, a certain awareness of being characters in a story and there being an audience. But im still struggling to word my thoughts on this matter. I felt it present in main story 2, even if it annoyed me at parts in its obviousness ("good thing we're not protagonists, no one would want to read about us" youre right aira you are not interesting to me. And yet i'll read your story to try and empathize nevertheless. I have other thoughts on aira too, perhaps for another time). I wish we explored a bit more what it means to no longer be the central protagonist, from trickstar's perspective...and brought back the successors topic. But i havent read every ts story yet so i'd be foolish to complain before really making sure i've checked everything. To me ! ended satisfyingly with room left for elaborations and imagination, but i dont feel like !!'s ending is really ending anything at all. Not necessarily bad since it's not like the game is shutting down, but overwhelming worldbuilding wise while underwhelming character wise...

Let's see... im not sure how to end this. Just a bit of a stream of consciousness as a ! fan who still loves enstars despite my critiques. Mainly, well, no one's gonna take away the stories that already exist that i do love and impacted my life greatly. And i do think !! had some really good things too it brought, or at least stories i hold dear too. Change is scary and i don't think it's always for the best, but it's also fun to see where it goes next...

Welcome back SF, really missed your input.

That's really kind of you to say 🙏 I'm watching this spinoff against better judgment and have a lot of thoughts on it, but I'll try to stick to production topics.

[W]hy giving so many visual cues for Carol?

Like MT and you yourself said, AMC realized (somewhat belatedly) that they can't Carol-ify characters (Maggie in DC/Isabelle in DD) and expect the audience to get excited. The studio knows Carol gets engagement, that's why they keep pushing the character on social media despite the fact that officially, she's not part of TWDU. I believe Melissa/Carol is so conspicuously absent from Nicotero's interviews for related reasons.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't they shove Melissa and Angela aside to make their own spin off?

No, you're right, but each of the people wanting them off the project had their own reasons for it. It's not as simple as "Norman got a big head" from being the most marketed character (although there's an element of that too). There's a lot of people involved and they all had different things to gain from having these two women removed.

So, my guess right now is, it's about the money and someone less with an opinion, so both Greg and Norm have more creative freedom and a couple of spare millions to spend on their vision

AMC spent way more money this way than having Melissa be part of the show from the start, so no, it's not about money and making a TV show isn't a bunch of people compromising on what to do. (More on that a little further down.)

There are many reasons and @jaibhagwan mentioned one of them in a comment to my previous ask, "[W]ho has the most the gain by sabotaging Caryl to make himself look good writing his “love story” spinoff?" Gimple was heavily involved in S11, the development of DD and in part of pre-production, and like I've previously said, he doesn't want competition. (It shouldn't be a competition at all, since a TV show is a collaborative effort and as a viewer I'm capable of liking both Carol and Michonne. Not that the race is between the women, because Gimple doesn't care about either of them.) He wants DD to fail, so he can swoop in to save the franchise with his TOWL show.

Just so no one misunderstands this as a slight and gets upset: Michonne is one of my favorites and I hold Danai in utmost respect. I'm not comparing women or female characters. They bring different things to the franchise and that's a GOOD THING. I want more of that. I also think Clémence is a great actor and apart from the sweeping aerial establishing shots, she's the only enjoyment I'm getting from DD. My issue is with Gimple and Zabel (whose existence as a "fleshie" I can unfortunately confirm to anyone thinking he might be a cardboard cutout), and their no-good storytelling.

@rubberchickeny "They all ring untrue and like he’s trying to manage (badly) the image the media and the public have. He’s contradicting himself, and other information given."

I believe the obfuscation is on purpose and that AMC (by way of Nicotero) is also trying to shift blame for some of their more controversial story decisions.

Everything that happens on a TV show has been approved by the studio responsible for the production. It doesn't matter if you're an egomaniac actor, a spiteful hack of a writer or a burnt-out EP—no one can override the studio. Someone at the studio approved the respec of Daryl back to his S2 self, the choice to deny his found family, the nunbaiting, etc. Every single script goes to the studio for notes and then (eventually) final approval before it's locked. They approve of the episode edit; if they don't like it, it gets reedited to their specifications.

There's a method to the madness in everything Nicotero has been saying.

@kryptoniancape "So he blatantly lied about having no creative control in that hit piece?"

Yes 🤷‍♀️ and you're right, it's a hit piece. The question is why. Why do AMC and Greg Nicotero want you to think that everything that's wrong about this show is Norman's fault? I'm not saying he doesn't bear any responsibility, but this isn't a one-man standup comedy special on HBO. If he made demands AMC didn't want to meet, they could have pulled the plug on those delusions at any point.

SF

“I’m watching this spinoff against better judgment”

Translation: MT is making me watch so I can answer her long list of questions she sent me.

I guess my concern about a possible smear campaign is…are they expecting more backlash later on? If so, I’m terrified to find out what that is. I’m getting so many asks from people wondering why they should hope for a better story in S2, and even though I do think we can put some of our faith in Melissa, it’s still a valid question. Because they should be doing everything to rebuild our trust that was lost the day they announced the Caryl spinoff was canceled, but instead they’re preparing for things to get worse?

Again, all I want (as a fan and as another woman in the industry) is to feel reassured that Melissa’s getting everything a leading lady deserves and that Daryl and Carol are getting the story they deserve.

Fwiw: If Danai was the showrunner on her spinoff, I would’ve been SEATED for that. If Melissa got to showrun or direct, I’d be seated for that too. TWDU needs more women and poc making creative decisions.

[reachexceedinggrasp]

It is really weird, as you say, that these sorts of characters (Beasts, grotesques, Byronic heroes, etc.) are so emotionally, aesthetically, narratively potent and draw on a rich literary history, yet they're such a contentious archetype, rarely done well now. I personally ascribe that to an obvious modern shift in the direction of storytelling cynicism (and I think you elsewhere have too, so don't mind me repeating your points back at you), but do you see a way out of it?

It's obviously an issue which goes beyond them (I mean even the central idea of redemption, or a complicated soul, is contentious), and so I imagine that the way out is effectively only possible if there are much more broader shifts in discourse. I think it's probably true that we might've peaked with cynicism now (absurdism seems to be more an idea that's being embraced - much as I don't like that, either, it's a gestural attempt at least).

But to circle back away from that, it's so funny how... if you're sincere and if you care and if you're trying hard, you can trip and fall into a complicated, Beastly character. And then they get mad about it.

Off anon because I figured I may as well hee hee.

It's definitely a weird moment in mass pop culture, because cynicism is so ingrained as the default that there's sometimes a lack of self-awareness about it from the writers who are responsible for the most mercilessly cynical takes. Of course, writing extruded movie product by marketing committee, as a lot of them are, is unlikely to produce different results, but I believe some of these people genuinely aren't cognizant of the worldviews they're putting across in these stories.

Romanticism has been deeply out of fashion for a long time and idealism is never in fashion, so it's not like cynicism itself is new as the dominant attitude, but it seems like that cynicism has become ever more juvenile and shallow. People steeped in it try to write optimism to play to the crowd (because generally people want a happy ending) and it comes off as the bleakest, most hopeless nihilism.

I think real idealism is challenging and the more complex the story becomes, the more challenging it is, so that you encounter more resistance writing idealistic narratives for adults, because it's so demanding when we see what it really looks like. It stops being crowd pleasing when uncompromising principles come up against the audience's desire for revenge, spectacle, machismo, etc. And because compassion and forgiveness have been relegated to media for children, people are wont to dismiss them as childish. Cynicism is still seen as cool and grown up and 'just being realistic' and fosters a vast wasteland of boring, lazy stories with characters you don't care about.

It is funny how people trip into Sad Murder Boys/Beasts/grotesques, but I think it sort of makes sense for the same reason they're such a rare character type despite being intensely impactful every time they happen, the same reason they're contentious: these are inherently romantic archetypes. So if you're trying to write passionately about this dark figure and you want him to be a complex character, so you give him pathos, and you want him to be powerful or intimidating because you're using him as a threat but still have big flaws so he can be defeated by the hero, and you want him to be charismatic to show why people would trust or follow him, and you want him to be attractive so you can have your incel message about male allure being dangerous... oops, you've accidentally created a romantic figure.

People accidentally writing tragic heroes when trying to write villains have already made something way more compelling than what they imagined, but then when they play up the pathos in attempt to emphasise free choice and create a tension where the audience sees a desire for healing from the character, a potential for change, they have inserted the most dynamic drama known to man. The hope this represents is so potent that it's going to alter the entire landscape of the narrative whether you want it to or not.

The possibility of redemption is a fundamentally idealistic concept and once we have our rogue romantic character breaking through stolid predictable archetypes and rigid storytelling, there's equal parts terror and intrigue on the part of the audience that they might be challenged with it. Redemption equals death is so popular because it defangs the challenge, it strips it of cost and consequence, allowing a veneer of optimism and admirable morality without needing to deal with what makes being ethical hard.

I think what we need more than anything else is more deliberate writing. People who actually want to tell a story and have something they want to say. No one is going to write anything legitimately challenging when they've been commissioned to make Captain Bland 11 and the story barely matters to anyone involved in production. It's uncool to care and there's a lack of respect for the audience, so the most you get is more 3edgy4me death and cynicism because these manchildren are convinced that's somehow still subversive despite paragon heroes who always say the day having been extinct for about fifty years.

You won't get brave choices out of the mainstream until someone with huge money decides they want to make them, because the entertainment industry has consolidated into the most risk-averse and cynical possible version of itself. Either something escapes containment and shows how profitable actually following through on romanticism can still be (you'd think this would have happened by now given how many chances have come up), or the current hierarchy crashes and burns and the field opens up to variety again.

How to End Low Conversion Rates In 2024

Introduction

Consider this: You've spent countless hours creating the ideal website and curating items or services that are nothing short of extraordinary. You're all set for people to rush to your site and convert into devoted clients. 

Nonetheless, despite your efforts, your conversion rates remain dismally low. It's like owning a lovely storefront on a busy street, that no one ever enters. Don't worry, because we'll untangle the riddle of conversion rates and provide you with tactics to shift the tide in your favour in this tutorial.

Conversion Rates: An Overview

First and foremost, let us debunk the term "conversion rates." A conversion occurs in the realm of online business when a user performs a desired activity. This could be making a purchase, signing up for a newsletter, completing a contact form, or downloading an e-book. The conversion rate is the proportion of visitors that complete the targeted action.

What Constitutes a Good Conversion Rate?

Setting reasonable expectations is essential before going on a journey to increase your conversion rates. Conversion rates differ greatly among industries, specializations, and even traffic sources. 

A respectable conversion rate for an e-commerce site could be about 2-3%, while a niche-specific landing page could aim for substantially higher numbers. Always strive for ongoing improvement. Even a 0.5% increase can result in significant gains over time.

How to Improve Conversion Rates

1. Recognize Your Audience

Understanding your audience is the first step in improving conversion rates, just as a competent chef tailors a meal to suit the tastes of their guests. Analyze analytics to learn more about demographics, preferences, and behaviour. Create content, design, and offers that speak to the needs and desires of your target audience.

2. Create Interesting Content

Consider your website to be a tale ready to be told. Engaging material written in a clear and succinct manner can capture the attention of your visitors. To lure consumers into your brand's tale, use persuasive language and storytelling approaches. A relevant tale has the ability to elicit an emotional response, which can have a significant impact on conversion rates.

3. Improve Website Design

The design of your website, like the packaging of a product, must be appealing and user-friendly. Visitors can leave a busy, confused website faster than you can say "bounce rate." Invest in a clean, intuitive design that effortlessly takes consumers to your call-to-action buttons.

4. Call-to-Action Magic

Call-to-action (CTA) buttons are the magic wands that can transform casual browsers into eager clients. Make your CTAs visible, appealing, and actionable. Use action verbs such as "Get Started," "Join Now," or "Unlock Exclusive Access" to elicit instant action.

5. Establish Trust

Trust is your most valuable currency in a digital world riddled with scams and unscrupulous practices. Show trust indicators like customer feedback, security badges, and endorsements from credible sources. Visitors who feel comfortable and confident are more likely to convert.

6. Iteration and A/B testing

Improving conversion rates is a multifaceted endeavour. A/B testing can be used to compare different versions of your website, landing pages, or CTAs. This iterative method enables you to determine what connects most with your target audience and make data-driven decisions.

Conclusion

To put a stop to the period of low conversion rates, a strategic blend of art and science is required. Understand your target, convey an engaging story, provide a consistent user experience, and establish trust. Remember that Rome was not built in a day and that significant changes in conversion rates may take time. 

Continue to be patient, persistent, and open to refining your plans in response to real-time data. Your online storefront is more than just code; it is a portal to meaningful conversations and fruitful commercial connections. You're not simply increasing numbers when you master the art of conversion; you're also creating an engaging digital journey.

So, empower yourself with these methods and watch as your conversion rates improve, paving the way for a brighter, more lucrative online future. Your success story begins right now.

I think that the fact Maud hasn't done anything sus at all before ep 6, probably just means that she's a mastermind scammer or a part of something elaborately planned. To the point we weren't expecting it of her as viewers, and it's skillfully done because we're experiencing it through Oscar's lense in a way. It's totally not how JF has usually written things, but it's gonna add some emotional impact to it when Oscar finds out he's been scammed.

It would def be a significant departure from how JF usually writes things but, as some have pointed out, not for big HBO shows necessarily - so that would be interesting if he's picking up network storytelling habits

I think whether or not it's skillful is a matter of debate though - I am writing a big post about this, but from what I know now, I don't think it is the best outcome to suit Oscar's story from a narrative perspective so I'll probably be disappointed. What's the purpose of all that screentime, especially for a character that had a mixed and largely critical response in the first season? I said this at some point, but we don't actually get to know Oscar's personal motivations the way we did last season when he was telling them to John outright, and Oscar's behavior is not the best representation necessarily of what Oscar is trying to do.

To say nothing of Maud as a character in her own right having her own motivations that we, if she's done this episode and never comes back and it was all lies all along, don't get to see. Despite having two scenes that did [seem to] give Maud some inner complexity. If she just shows up to scam Oscar and leave then what was the point of that in the context of the story (other than to mislead the viewer) (which if I have not made clear I prefer to be multipurpose!!!). I would rather have seen something that does point to Maud's actual motivations because I want her to be a character-person who feels like she exists and not like a tool that is intended to throw me off the ultimate outcome.

This is definitely biased because I am a fan of Oscar. But I would rather this tie in meaningfully to his story and like, what are we learning about him if it's a just your average run of the mill confidence scam, how are we moving his specific storyline forward? He's not the main character. The main person telling him & the audience anything about Maud is Aurora, who is one of Oscar's family members and a person he has no reason to doubt, so we're not even seeing him being particularly susceptible to Maud specifically. He's already shown himself to be shortsighted. We know he makes poorly thought out choices. We know he likes money. We know he thinks everything will magically be ok if he can just do this one thing. Where is this taking us for Oscar?

If it isn't taking us anywhere for Oscar, then it's only taking us to the Ada-Agnes power dynamic shift, and I would rather it do more than one thing at a time!

To be clear I am by NO MEANS saying that I do not want Oscar to lose money or make stupid financial decisions. I am looking forward to seeing this! What I am saying is that I think it's boring and a cop-out if they get there by this being a straightforward recognizable-to-twist-happy-21st-century-audiences scam for all characters involved.

Speech Training for Success: Enhance Your Public Speaking Skills

You will come across the need to deliver presentations in many different instances of your life. However, most of us find public speaking an intimidating experience. It can be overwhelming to speak in front of a group of people. If you are dealing with the same issue, you should go through speech training. It can boost your confidence and the ability to become a public speaker. Let’s learn more about how a storytelling workshop can benefit you with delivering compelling presentations.

Getting Comfortable Being Uncomfortable

Part of becoming an effective speaker involves getting used to the uncomfortable feelings that often come with public speaking. Speeches create psychological arousal, increased heart rate, blushing, and sweating—the classic “fight or flight” stress response.

While these sensations cannot be fully eliminated, you can ease your fears and learn to work through the discomfort with speech training and repetitive exposure to public speaking situations. Each time you speak in front of groups, you face your fears, gain confidence in your abilities, and make progress toward feeling at ease with public speaking. Over time it becomes second nature.

The Basics: Preparation and Practice

Even natural-born speakers and extroverts can become stronger public speakers by highlighting strengths and addressing areas for growth. First, thoughtfully prepare the content and flow of each speech based on your audience, venue, and speaking time. Carefully choose words, structure paragraphs focused on key ideas, and weave in verbal transitions to guide listeners from one point to the next.

Prepare note cards rather than reading off entire word-for-word manuscripts. Practice your speech multiple times aloud in an empty room. Ask someone to listen and provide constructive feedback; then, incorporate their suggestions for improvement into your preparation routine. As the saying goes: practice makes perfect.

Polishing Technique for Maximum Impact

Beyond content and structure, speech training also focuses intently on delivery technique to amplify your message and connect with audiences. Pay attention to body language, facial expressions, eye contact, vocal variety, and outward enthusiasm for your subject.

Stand up straight with shoulders back, casually gesture with your hands, smile warmly, make eye contact with various listeners for a few seconds at a time, and project a confident, resonant voice that carries to the back row. Practice with a stand-up mirror or record yourself on video to self-critique, adjust, and sharpen the fine points of your delivery. Small improvements in these areas can dramatically enhance your audience’s reception to your speech.

Putting It All Together

Great public speaking ultimately combines substance and style for powerful impact. With diligent speech training to internalize key lessons, you can learn to minimize anxiety, thoroughly prepare content, and perfect the fine points of confident, dynamic delivery. Rather than focusing on avoiding mistakes or embarrassment, shift your concentration towards positively connecting with people through thoughtful messages and passionate expression.

Just step up to the stage or podium with a well-rehearsed speech, open body language, deep breaths, and an engaging smile. With practice over time, the positive response of audiences will fuel your motivation to succeed as an increasingly masterful public speaker. The spotlight awaits!

Crafting effective New Year marketing strategies will require brands to stay agile, innovative, and customer-focused.

Here’s a look at the top marketing trends for 2025 and resolutions that can help businesses stay competitive and drive meaningful results.

1. Leverage Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Marketing

AI has become a cornerstone for creating personalized and efficient marketing campaigns. From predictive analytics to AI-driven customer service, businesses are using this technology to deliver tailored experiences.

Why It Matters: AI allows marketers to analyze vast amounts of data, predict customer behavior, and optimize campaigns in real-time.

How to Adapt: Use AI tools to personalize email campaigns, optimize ad targeting, and automate routine tasks. This ensures your brand stays relevant and customer-focused.

2. Embrace Omnichannel Marketing

Consumers interact with brands across various platforms, from social media to in-store visits. Adopting an omnichannel approach ensures seamless experiences throughout the customer journey.

Why It Matters: Omnichannel marketing fosters brand loyalty by providing consistent messaging and service.

How to Adapt: Integrate your online and offline efforts. For example, use QR codes in physical stores to drive online engagement or leverage social commerce to make your products more accessible.

3. Focus on Sustainability and Ethical Marketing

Today’s consumers are more likely to support brands that prioritize sustainability and ethical practices. Marketing campaigns that highlight eco-conscious initiatives can resonate deeply with modern audiences.

Why It Matters: Sustainability is no longer a trend—it’s an expectation. Brands that demonstrate a genuine commitment to ethical practices gain trust and loyalty.

How to Adapt: Showcase your green initiatives through storytelling. Highlight efforts like reducing carbon footprints, using sustainable materials, or supporting social causes.

4. Utilize Short-Form Video Content

Platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts have made short-form video a dominant content format. Engaging, bite-sized videos capture attention quickly and effectively communicate your brand message.

Why It Matters: Short-form video is easily digestible and highly shareable, making it an ideal tool for boosting brand visibility.

How to Adapt: Create videos that entertain, educate, or inspire. Focus on authentic storytelling and ensure your videos align with current trends.

5. Prioritize Data Privacy and Security

With growing concerns about data breaches, businesses must prioritize data privacy and comply with regulations such as GDPR and CCPA. This is crucial for maintaining customer trust.

Why It Matters: Consumers are more selective about the brands they engage with, prioritizing those that handle their data responsibly.

How to Adapt: Clearly communicate your data usage policies, implement robust security measures, and obtain explicit consent for data collection.

6. Experiment with Emerging Technologies

Innovative technologies like augmented reality (AR) and blockchain are opening new doors for marketers. These tools allow brands to create immersive and transparent experiences.

Why It Matters: Early adopters of emerging technologies often gain a competitive edge and attract tech-savvy audiences.

How to Adapt: Use AR for virtual try-ons or product demos. Explore blockchain for transparent ad campaigns and secure transactions.

7. Plan for Long-Term Engagement

The most successful New Year marketing strategies are those that go beyond seasonal trends and focus on sustained customer engagement. This involves building relationships and fostering loyalty throughout the year.

Why It Matters: Retaining customers is more cost-effective than acquiring new ones, and loyal customers often become brand advocates.

How to Adapt: Implement loyalty programs, send personalized follow-ups, and engage your audience with valuable content.

Conclusion

The future of marketing lies in embracing upcoming marketing trends and staying attuned to consumer needs. Whether it’s through AI-powered personalization, sustainability efforts, or short-form video content, businesses must prioritize innovation and authenticity to thrive in 2025.

For brands looking to build future-proof marketing plans, the key is to be flexible and data-driven. By adopting these strategies, you can ensure your marketing efforts remain effective and impactful in the ever-evolving landscape.

Here are the top social media marketing skills that will set you apart from the competition in 2025:

1. Content Creation and Curation

Content remains king in social media marketing. In 2025, creating and curating high-quality, engaging content is more important than ever. Whether it’s text, images, videos, or even podcasts, being able to craft content that speaks to your audience is crucial. Here’s how you can refine this skill:

Creativity: You need to be able to think outside the box and come up with content that catches the attention of your audience.

Storytelling: Good storytelling is essential for creating content that resonates with your audience and encourages engagement.

Visual Design: A great visual layout can make a huge difference in how your content is perceived. Using tools like Canva or Adobe Creative Suite can elevate your content quality.

2. Social Media Analytics

Analyzing data is a critical skill for any social media marketer. Understanding how your content performs helps you optimize future strategies. Key metrics like reach, engagement rates, conversions, and impressions can provide insights into what works and what doesn’t. Here’s how to become proficient in social media analytics:

Google Analytics: While primarily a tool for websites, Google Analytics can give you detailed insights into the performance of your social media traffic.

Platform-Specific Tools: Most social media platforms offer their own analytics tools, such as Facebook Insights, Instagram Analytics, and Twitter Analytics, to help you measure performance directly.

Data Interpretation: The ability to interpret data and make actionable recommendations is vital. Knowing which posts are performing well, what times of day your audience is active, and the type of content that drives the most engagement is key to long-term success.

3. Community Management

Community management involves engaging with your audience and maintaining a positive relationship with your followers. It’s not just about responding to comments but creating a space where your audience feels heard and valued. Effective community management can help boost brand loyalty and trust. To be effective at this, you need:

Active Listening: Pay attention to the needs, complaints, and feedback of your followers to create a stronger bond.

Timely Response: Social media is a fast-paced environment, and customers expect quick responses. Being responsive and interacting with your audience in a timely manner is crucial.

Conflict Resolution: Sometimes, things go wrong. Having the ability to handle negative comments or feedback professionally can turn a potentially damaging situation into a positive one.

Knowing how to create and manage paid ads is an essential skill for any social media marketer. Platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn offer robust advertising features, but these require expertise to use effectively. To master paid advertising, you need to:

Targeting: Being able to define and target the right audience for your ads is critical. Platforms allow for granular targeting based on demographics, location, interests, and behavior.

Budgeting: Understanding how to manage a paid social media campaign budget is key to optimizing your ad spend.

A/B Testing: Testing different ad creatives and targeting options is necessary to understand what works best for your audience and improve your campaigns over time.

5. SEO Knowledge for Social Media

Instagram, for example, now offers a search feature that ranks posts based on keyword relevance. Understanding how to optimize your social media profiles and content for search is crucial. Here are a few tips for mastering SEO in social media marketing:

Hashtags: Hashtags are a powerful tool for increasing the visibility of your posts. Knowing which hashtags are trending and relevant to your content can increase your reach significantly.

The Role of PR in Reputation Management: Why It’s Your Secret Weapon

Reputation is everything. And in today’s world, it’s more fragile than ever. A single tweet, a viral post, or a random review can make or break how the public sees your brand. That’s why Public Relations (PR) isn’t just a nice-to-have, it’s your secret weapon for reputation management.

Let’s dive into why PR is crucial to keeping your reputation intact (or even making it better) and how it works behind the scenes to shape how people see you.

1. Build a Solid Reputation BEFORE You Need It

Reputation management doesn’t start when things go wrong. It starts with building a positive narrative from the get-go. With PR, you get to control the story. This means shaping how people see you through the content you produce, the media you engage with, and how you talk to your audience.

PR helps create a solid foundation where people already trust you and understand what you stand for. It’s like planting seeds that will eventually bloom into strong public perception. Start now, before you even need to manage a crisis.

2. Crisis Control: When Stuff Hits the Fan

Things happen. Sometimes, a product goes wrong or you mess up in the public eye. This is where PR really shows its power: crisis management. Good PR isn’t just about fixing a mistake; it’s about handling the narrative so you don’t spiral.

PR pros know how to navigate these moments with grace and transparency. It’s not about sweeping things under the rug, it’s about taking responsibility and showing the world you’ve got it under control. And trust me, the way you react can either tank or rebuild your brand’s reputation.

Take United Airlines, for example. Their PR response to a viral incident helped mitigate the fallout. It didn’t make the incident disappear, but it stopped it from spiraling further.

3. Monitoring the Vibes

Your reputation doesn’t just magically stay intact. PR is a continuous effort. It’s about keeping your ear to the ground and listening to what people are saying about you, even when things are quiet. PR pros use tools to track media coverage, social media mentions, and customer feedback. That way, if there’s a shift in perception or a potential issue, you can act fast before it turns into a full-blown crisis.

It’s like constantly checking the vibe at a party to make sure nothing is going south.

4. Influencers: Your Allies in Reputation Management

Who you surround yourself with matters, and this is especially true in PR. When your brand aligns with the right influencers or industry advocates, their positive endorsement can amplify your image.

It’s not just about jumping on the influencer bandwagon; it’s about creating genuine partnerships. PR helps build these relationships, so when your brand needs a boost, those trusted voices are ready to speak up.

TL;DR

Reputation management isn’t just about cleaning up messes, it’s about building a brand people trust and keeping it intact, even when things go wrong. Whether it’s through proactive storytelling, managing a crisis with transparency, or aligning with influencers who can amplify your message, PR is your brand’s best friend.

What steps are you taking to protect your reputation? Let’s talk about it in the notes, how do you think PR can save your brand in a crisis?

Understanding Cultural Trends and Their Impact on Branding

In today's dynamic marketplace, understanding cultural trends is essential for brands seeking to connect with consumers on a deeper level. Cultural branding goes beyond traditional marketing strategies by aligning a brand's identity with the values, beliefs, and practices of its target audience. This approach not only fosters emotional connections but also enhances brand loyalty and differentiation in competitive markets. Here’s an exploration of key cultural trends shaping branding strategies and their implications for businesses.

The Rise of Authenticity and Purpose-Driven Branding

One significant trend influencing branding is the growing emphasis on authenticity and purpose-driven marketing. Consumers today are more informed and socially conscious, seeking brands that align with their values and contribute positively to society. This shift has led companies to communicate their missions clearly, showcasing their commitment to ethical practices and social responsibility. Brands that incorporate authentic storytelling into their marketing efforts can build deeper emotional connections with their audiences. For example, companies that highlight real-life experiences of their customers or engage with local communities demonstrate genuine commitment to social issues. This authenticity not only differentiates brands in a crowded marketplace but also attracts consumers who share similar values, fostering long-term loyalty.

Social Responsibility as a Branding Strategy

Social responsibility is increasingly becoming a core component of effective branding strategies. Consumers expect brands to take stands on important social issues and to demonstrate transparency in their business practices. This expectation has led many companies to integrate social responsibility into their branding efforts actively. Brands that prioritize sustainability, diversity, and community engagement can resonate more deeply with consumers. For instance, a green tech company that highlights local environmental issues in its marketing campaigns shows that it understands and respects the communities it serves. By aligning brand messaging with social responsibility, companies can enhance their reputation and build trust among consumers.

The Importance of Diversity and Inclusion

Diversity and inclusion are critical cultural trends reshaping marketing strategies. As consumers become more aware of social issues surrounding representation, they actively seek out brands that reflect diverse communities in their campaigns. Companies are now being held accountable for how they represent various demographics, leading to more inclusive marketing practices. Brands that embrace diversity not only attract a broader audience but also build stronger connections with consumers who feel seen and represented. This trend has resulted in the rise of niche marketing, where brands target specific communities or subcultures previously overlooked by traditional marketing tactics. By catering to these diverse groups, companies can tap into new markets and foster brand loyalty.

Cultural Nuances in Global Branding

In an increasingly globalized world, understanding cultural nuances is vital for successful branding. Brands must navigate the complexities of different cultures to create meaningful connections with consumers across various regions. This involves recognizing the diverse threads that make up cultural identities, including language, customs, traditions, and historical narratives. For example, McDonald's adapts its menu offerings and branding strategies based on local preferences and cultural significance. In India, where vegetarianism is widely practiced, McDonald's offers a range of vegetarian options while using culturally relevant symbols in its marketing materials. Such adaptations demonstrate sensitivity to local cultures while maintaining a consistent brand identity.

The Role of Language in Branding

Language plays a pivotal role in how brands communicate with their audiences. Words carry cultural connotations that may not translate well across different languages or regions. Brands must be cautious about language use to avoid misinterpretations or unintended offense. Successful brands invest in linguistic expertise to ensure their messaging resonates with local audiences. For instance, when launching products in new markets, companies like Apple conduct thorough research to adapt their slogans and product names appropriately. This attention to linguistic detail helps avoid branding mishaps and fosters positive relationships with consumers.

Leveraging Digital Platforms for Cultural Engagement

The digital age has transformed how brands engage with consumers on cultural issues. Social media platforms provide unprecedented opportunities for brands to connect with diverse audiences while addressing cultural trends in real-time. However, this landscape also presents challenges; missteps can lead to swift backlash as consumers amplify both praise and criticism online. Brands that successfully navigate this digital terrain can build strong communities around shared values. For example, Spotify’s Wrapped campaign taps into users’ love for personalized content by encouraging them to share their music preferences annually. This approach fosters a sense of belonging among music lovers while enhancing brand engagement.

Conclusion: Embracing Cultural Trends for Branding Success

Understanding cultural trends is crucial for brands looking to establish meaningful connections with consumers in today’s complex marketplace. By embracing authenticity, social responsibility, diversity, and cultural nuances, businesses can create compelling branding strategies that resonate deeply with their target audiences. As brands navigate the evolving landscape of consumer expectations and societal changes, those that prioritize cultural relevance will not only thrive but also leave a lasting impact on the hearts and minds of consumers worldwide. By weaving cultural insights into branding efforts, companies can foster loyalty, drive engagement, and ultimately achieve greater success in an increasingly interconnected world.

A Fata Morgana is a mirage image imposed by the bending of light waves in the atmosphere that pass through different density volumes. A Fata Morgana is specifically caused by temperature inversion, making it a “superior mirage.” Temperature inversion is the instance of the air below the imposed image’s line of sight being colder than the air above, thus causing light rays to bend down and expose the image above the actual object. These types of mirages can cause various visual phenomenon’s, including the perception of distance, direction, and stretch to be perceived as different to the human eye. Fata Morgana mirages cause most images to be nearly unrecognizable from their original form (Skybrary, n.d.). Some examples of widely observed mirage images include towers, castles, columns, aqueducts, palaces, skyscrapers, and apartments. While the definition of a Fata Morgana has been skewed over the course of history, it was first observed in 16th century Italian reports (Young & Frappa, 2017). Before the scientific revolution, these mirages were widely accepted as magical forces of nature. Named after the sorceress Morgan le Fay, it was believed many sailors were taunted by her mirages, luring them into sea palaces just under the surface of the water. The popular legend of the Flying Dutchman was derived from sightings attributed to Fata Morgana mirage’s dating back to 1821 (Simon, 2015).

Source: Young & Frappa, 2017

Lake Geneva, located between the French and Switzerland border, has been observed to reflect many Fata Morgana mirages over the years. Young & Frappa’s 2017 research concluded that valley inversions were mainly responsible for the distortions observed along the lake’s horizon. I found their research particularly interesting as it seemed to have taken the cultural and historical roots of this environmental phenomenon and tried to implement new technology to develop further understanding.

The interpretation of Fata Morgana mirages and other forms of mirages can allow for interesting discussions to be sparked surrounding mystery, technology and storytelling. In areas such as Lake Geneva which are susceptible to phenomena such as this, I find it important to communicate the value of mystery and science to your audience. Modern environmental interpretation requires adaptation to the demands of the future, as mentioned by Beck and Cable (2018) in chapter 21. Shifting focus to how technology can monitor mirages allows for audiences to relate a historical phenomenon to the science they know today. Storytelling through cultural mysteries from around the world allow for a layer of mysticism that many other factors of the environment cannot have! While the Flying Dutchman is one example, think of the oasis mirage’s we see in cinema, or sirens that seduce sailors to jump ship! As nature interpretation adapts to the future, it is important to continuously keep audiences engaged. Connections to pop culture or urban legends is an amazing way to keep young people passionate about the environment they have entered.
