Social Media Psychology Podcast Joe Federer

As marketers, when we see a feed, we call it a social media site. But different structure of these sites -- how they organize users and connections -- breeds drastically different mindsets for users. As brands, we need to think about our role in online communities very differently than how we participate in social media platforms. In this podcast, I spell out the differences between online communities and social media sites, and provide examples of brands that have succeeded in engaging online communities.

The Internet is becoming more meta. More and more, the memes we see become popular aren't really funny on their -- they rely on other jokes to make their punchlines. In this episode of the Social Media Psychology podcast, we explore the world of meta culture and the parallel trend in different forms of meta-advertising.

LGBTQ Pride month is an interesting time in the world of advertising. On one hand, the widespread support we see from brands towards the LGTBQ community is heartwarming and generally a step in the right direction for the world. On the other, people have become skeptical of how genuine this support really is. Would brands still support LGBTQ Pride if it wasn't a marketing opportunity? Probably not.

In this episode, we'll look into some organic examples of conversation about brands during Pride month as a jumping off point for exploring brand transparency, follow-through, and why that will only increase in importance as the world becomes more digital.
