This woman of Marvel, Adri Cowan, Senior Social Media Manager at Marvel and Owner of Rogue Social, a boutique social media agency stopped by our office on a Saturday for a cup of tea, an apple turnover, and to answer our burning question: "What the heck is going on with Instagram lately?"
Instagram is one of Adri's favorite social media platforms, so she delivered lots of dish on how to use it to build buzz for your business. When Adri is not strategizing social media for Marvel's many entertainment and retail properties, she is helping small businesses through her traveling workshops. If you missed the live broadcast, you're in luck! We have made this one available all day today, since that is the day we usually live broadcast the TuneUp for you.
Covered in this TuneUp:
What Adri views what brands get out of Instagram: Clicks? Emotional connection to brand? Getting people somewhere at a certain time?
Now that Instagram made the a person's Instagram stream based on popularity and not by when someone posted (aka "chronological"), how does that impact our posting?
What makes a post popular - and seen by followers?
Pros and Cons of connecting Facebook and Instagram accounts.
Converting an original Instagram account to a "business" account - worth it?
What to consider when advertising on Instagram, aka - sponsoring a post.
Tricks Adri uses to make Instagram easier and quicker to use while growing her reach.
How to build buzz for an upcoming event.
How people can measure Instagram's effectiveness. Is that even possible?
How Adri sees Instagram evolving.
