Instagram has recently announced that they would be moving their primary metric over to views, but what does this mean? ‡

πŸ‘€ Views will now be the primary metric that is reported in Instagram Insights across ""all organic and boosted media formats which includes reels, live, photos, carousels and stories.

πŸ“ˆ Essentially, rather than Instagram Insights showing reach and impressions for photo-based posts and views for reels, EVERYTHING will include views as the primary metric.

πŸ’‘ Views will be measured by the number of times a reel started to play or replay and the number of times a non-reel appeared on a person's screen.

πŸ“Š Other metrics such as accounts reached, accounts engaged, interactions and watch time will still be shown in Insights, but won't be as prominent as they currently are (being replaced with 'views')

🧠 But why? For months Instagram has been reiterating that follower count isn't everything and instead, they were more focused on content that people enjoy (hence their shift to sharable content and emphasising share metrics). Changing metrics over to 'views' is a good indicator of how many people are interested in your content so it isn't a surprising step.

Let's take a deep dive into Jellycat's genius marketing... 🧸

Jellycat's marketing is heavily focused on an emotional connection allowing their customers to feel nostalgia, an emotional bond and use their imagination.

But what really makes Jellycat so successful are 3 main components:

β†’ Jellycat’s designs use an incorporation of human expressions enabling the products to give a sense of belonging to its owners.

β†’ The emotional attachment to the brand and the products motivates customers to buy the product and adopt brand loyalty.

β†’ Jellycat’s strong social media presence increases brand recall as the brand is in front of customers at all times, leading to brand memory and increased purchases.

This, paired with their brand activation techniques, is a key part of why Jellycat are so successful.

Ps. We loved putting this carousel together and obsessing over the cute Jellycats πŸ₯Ί

Sometimes the simplest advice can also be the most overlooked.

Because the truth is, it's not about you. It's about your audience.

When businesses want to sell a product, they will often shout about the product features, but not talk about the benefits or communicate in a way their audience wants.

And the same goes for social media, when communicating your product or service, ensure you're communicating it in a way that makes the audience feel fulfilled, entertained or educated.

And keep in mind some key questions a customer may have:

πŸ’­ How will this product benefit me?
πŸ’­ What problems will this product solve?
πŸ’­ How will this product change my life?

A breakdown of Made By Mitchell's marketing and how TikTok has helped the brand's success πŸ‘€

Made by Mitchell found popularity once they leveraged TikTok Shop - offering mystery bundles, Black Friday offers and live streams. They recently did a 12-hour LIVE and generated $1,000,000.

And the results speak for themselves...

πŸ“ˆ Sales growth of 106%.
πŸ“ˆ 10.4 MILLION impressions.
πŸ“ˆ 4x increase in followers.

Made by Mitchell has done an amazing job at taking advantage of platform features to build a larger audience and increase revenue. This increase has led to them becoming a cemented brand in the beauty industry and most recently, being sold in Boots stores across the UK πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

The bottom line? Don't sleep on TikTok Shop and the impact it can have on e-commerce businesses.

Did you know that 92% of UK workers use social media whilst at work with 79% of these using social media for habitually checking feeds? So why are you neglecting certain social media platforms because they're not where you think your audience exists? πŸ‘€πŸ’­

With there being several social media platforms out there, audiences use each platform slightly differently...

Think about where your audience hangs outβ€”are they in a professional space or a personal one? πŸ‘‹

For example, 49.2% of people surveyed say that they use social media for keeping in touch with friends and family with 72.6% of people saying they use Facebook, in particular, for messaging friends and family.

Other professional networks such as LinkedIn can be used to connect with those within your industry.

Your audience is where they are, whether in their personal life or at work. Keeping this in mind is crucial when you're trying to reach new customers.

From Mark & Spencer to Mat & Alan, reactive marketing is utterly genius when done right πŸ‘‹

Over the past week, several brands have been involved with their spin-off of Marks & Spencer's OG Mark & Spencer video from TikTok, with some of the reactive brand videos generating more likes than the original.

But why does this work so well?
