Let’s be honest, the lives we are all currently living are heavily reliant on social media.

2020 has, quite frankly, been terrible for many different reasons, mostly everything brought on by the Coronavirus pandemic, but, with a vaccine around the corner, it’s time to start planning and looking forward to 2021.

With a vaccine and an increase in mass testing, we are hoping more businesses can open, reopen and, fingers crossed, stay open. But with so many companies eager for business, how are you going to stand out from the rest? With a well thought out marketing campaign, of course!

Stolen images. Russian bots. Burner accounts. Sometimes it can be difficult to spot fake accounts on social media but thankfully we’re here to help!

All Together Now

We’re All in this Together. Better Together. Come Together. All Together Now. We’ve heard songs about togetherness for decades but today, more than ever, being together isn’t as easy as it always has been. Or is it?

Don’t Feed the Beast

Fake news, sensationalist headlines and false information have always existed on the internet, as a form of clickbait, but we have seen a rapid increase of all three of these across social media in the past few years. All too often, we see articles written to spark outrage and gain traction with its likes, comments and shares rather than reporting the truth.

Free Blog Friday was an opportunity for 5 businesses to have a free blog written by us and shared on our social channels for extra exposure.

Meet Julie L Timms - The Diarrhoea Controller. Julie is our 4th Free Blog Friday. She is a breath of fresh air when it comes to helping people control their bowels.
