    #9: Social Media Strategy... fancy words for planning your plan!

    Social Media Strategy... scary words for a lot of people, but ultimately it's all about planning your plan! In this episode we break down what a social media strategy is, how to go about building yours and why it's so important regardless of the size of your business. Whether it's a one-pager, or a glossy deck for a client, the plan behind it is what matters. Georgie has developed social media strategies for large-scale campaigns, clients, and small businesses, backed up by Jo who has fallen victim to many clients that didn't have one in place.  It's about the Why, Who, Where, What, How and When - but not always in that order. Listen in to find out more from Georgie and Jo!  This episode is an extension of our very first, going into further detail on the 7 main categories of the social media industry; Social Media Strategy, Social Media Management, Social Content Creation, Social Analytics, Paid Social, Community Management and Influencer Management.

    #8 Keeping up with the un-keep-up-able

    We’ve done it again! Made up a word that is. But it’s a good word, and a word that we think will resonate with social media managers around the world. These third party platforms that we have based our social media careers on change on a terrifyingly regular basis, and it feels like those big changes are happening more rapidly. From changing image dimensions, to every single social media platform suddenly adopting audio (thanks Clubhouse) it is exhausting. So how do you keep up, and should you if it doesn't fit your social strategy? Two big questions. Listen in to find out more.

    #7: Social Media in Pop Culture - The Ugly, the Bad and the Reality

    "That would never happen!!". If you, a fellow SMM find yourself shouting this at the TV on a regular basis WHENEVER a character is working in, or using social media, then this episode is 100% for you. Confession: we rant a little bit in this one. But, we also talk about which TV shows get it right, and how social media has informed and inspired some TV shows. We have much more to say on this, and there are MANY more tv shows out there. Watch this space.

    #4: SMM and Mental Health - the lowdown

    Social media is FUN to work in right? Until it's not.
