Smarter Socials. Stronger Marketing. Creating from Burlington, Vermont ✨

10/27/2026

Not every agency is created equal and who you spend your hard earned dollars with matters.

These are the characteristics that I would look out for if I were to hire a social media management service for my brand:

🎨 Off-screen creative hobbies: This one might seem a little weird to mention but if you were to take away AI and the algorithm, a truly great marketer should be able to find inspiration from the real world. Whether it be from a conversation overheard at a coffee shop or the way a product is displayed in a store… or in our case our team’s love for improv, DnD and off-roading on the weekends

📲 A slightly unhealthy obsession with internet culture: Seeing the full evolution of social media from launch to full embedding into our lives has its perks. The best social media managers consume the platform as their craft. They notice when the algorithm shifts before it’s announced, they can see a new feature gaining traction and understand what it means for their clients, and they’re excited to test things with their own content so clients aren’t their guinea pigs.

🧠 A data-driven brain: everything in marketing is understanding what the data is telling you and doubling down on what is working. Your social media manager should be able to look at your analytics, identify your foundational successes (such as content types, topics, and formats that consistently out) and build a strategy around them

👀 A strategist’s eye: if you were to hand your marketing team any post (yours, a competitor’s, a random brand) can they tell you exactly why it worked? Was it the hook? The format? The timing? The emotional residence? The way it spoke to a specific person’s specific problem? The analytical eye is the difference between someone who just posts content and someone who builds a strategy with purpose

Social media is a long game and the person you hire next is probably the most important relationship you will have in 2027. We aren’t looking for brands to just casually date and neither should you.

The real Halloween costume is a social media manager who says they doomscroll for "research purposes."

The best creators aren’t posting more. They’re noticing more 👀

Pattern recognition is the most underrated skill in content strategy. It’s what separates creators who chase trends from creators who see them coming.

Here are 3 patterns every successful creator is tracking:

🔮 Patterns in the feed: Trend forecasting starts with noticing what keeps resurfacing aka the formats, topics, and conversations gaining momentum before they peak. Spot them early and you become an early adopter, sharing your perspective while the conversation is still being shaped. Best for creators who want to lead the conversation instead of echoing it.

📊 Patterns in your own data: Your analytics are full of insight if you look for the repeat winners with the hooks, topics, and formats that consistently earn saves, shares, and follows. Build on those wins instead of starting from scratch every week. Best for brands with a content library ready to be mined.

🔥 Patterns in your industry: Once you see what’s shifting in your industry, you have something worth saying. The foundation of thought leadership and modern educational content is sharing opinions, POVs, and hot takes backed by what you’ve actually observed. Best for founders and creators building authority in their space.

Save this for your next content planning session, send it to the creator friend who always seems three steps ahead, and follow for more strategy that makes your content work harder ✨

Most businesses don't have a marketing problem. They have a strategy problem.

What if your audience already told you what they want, and you just chose to ignore them?
