Here's what we learned at last week's with 👇

🪑 TikTok gives brands a seat at the table. Users now feel that Instagram has a 'you can't sit with us' mentality, with a tendency to fill newsfeeds with polished, aesthetic content. TikTok flips that approach on its head, as raw, authentic content works best.

🔨 There are three key factors to how TikTok vs. Instagram helps brands break down the consumer barrier. These are:
1️⃣ The algorithm (anyone can go viral)
2️⃣ The unique community and culture (brand collaborations are celebrated and supported)
3️⃣ Trends and commonality (there's literally a niche for everything)

🎉 Successful brands on TikTok are using three winning approaches. These are:
1️⃣ Meme edits like those you've probably seen by Currys and
2️⃣ Creator partnerships that feel authentic like for
3️⃣ Creating the social media manager persona takeover like poor old Chris at

🎉 We're pumped to introduce our newest addition to the growing R&Co family, Jack Stocking, who joins us as SEO Account Director! Here’s a bit about Jack.

Jack is an SEO expert with almost seven years of hands-on agency experience. His expertise extends beyond mere optimisation; he's proficient in crafting comprehensive SEO strategies that deliver tangible results for businesses which have included health & beauty, automotive, fast-fashion, and FMCG. Moreover, Jack is also a specialist in managing site migrations, a critical aspect of SEO strategy often fraught with challenges.

⚽ 🏏 Jack’s interests span the world of sports. He's an avid participant and follower of cricket and football which leads him to be a dedicated supporter of West Bromwich Albion (poor choice, we know!). But Jack's active lifestyle doesn't stop there.

🏃‍♂️ He's also a keen runner, hitting the pavement regularly to clock in miles and push his limits, which usually include charity-based runs. Beyond his sporting endeavours, Jack's adventurous spirit takes him and his partner on journeys around the globe. Their favourite destination? Las Vegas, making three unforgettable trips to Sin City and counting.

💪 Imaginary Superpower: Jack’s choice would be time travel. With the ability to travel back to the past and revisit historical events, whilst also travelling to the future and seeing what lies ahead of us, very intriguing!

📖Productivity Hack: Jack is a firm believer in a tick list, although simple it can help you stay organised, focused, and motivated.

Please join us in giving Jack a warm, virtual welcome to the R&Co team 👏
