Jessica Simpson's Brilliant Tips to Build Your Online Presence
In the marketing and social media field, we always hear the term “authenticity.” This speaks to presenting your true self with your audience, rather than portraying a facade.
Jessica Simpson exemplifies authenticity in her new memoir, Open Book. She lets herself be vulnerable and bravely puts everything out there. No topic is too personal or humiliating to address.
Whether you simply want to improve your mental health or find the courage to share more of who you are online, there are many takeaways inspired by Jessica Simpson and Open Book. -
Aviation Gin's Pop Culture Mastery
Ryan Reynolds is certainly a successful fixture in popular culture. You may love him for his movies, his looks, or his charm, but I love him for something more: his creative genius.
In February 2018, Ryan Reynolds acquired a stake in the liquor brand, Aviation American Gin. Along with a small but mighty marketing team, he has helped take the company to new heights with some of the most clever marketing campaigns we’ve seen in a long time.
Who could forget their incredibly swift move when they hired the infamous Peloton wife for a commercial?
But the brilliant marketing hasn’t stopped there. Fast Company named the Aviation Gin one of the most innovative brands of 2020, in large part to their quick responses to pop culture moments.
On the latest episode of the Making the Brand podcast, I had the pleasure of chatting with Adrian Molina, the senior brand manager behind Aviation Gin, and social media expert and professor, Dr. Karen Freberg.
It turns out that other companies should be taking notes on what Aviation Gin is doing. Pour yourself a negroni (Ryan’s favorite drink!) and listen in to hear the method to their madness.

In this episode, I break down the benefits of incorporating popular culture into your social media content and share lots of examples!

Well, kids these days are making dances, posting them on TikTok and becoming viral sensations.
But why? Is it really that simple?

Every Social Media Platform Explained as a Friends Character
Social media encompasses several different platforms that we all know and love, but for your strategy to succeed, you can’t treat them all the same.
From Facebook to Instagram, Twitter to YouTube, and LinkedIn to now TikTok, each channel has their own considerations when it comes to content, voice, and audience expectations.
To explain the need-to-knows for these social media channels a little further, I thought I’d get a little help from my Friends.
