Who says summer camp can't include social media strategy?

Last week April Catarella spent the morning with students at WYES' Digital Media Camp, talking about everything from creating engaging content to using social media with intention and authenticity. The questions were smart, the conversations were engaging and the future of digital communications looks bright.

We love opportunities to give back by sharing what we've learned with the next generation of communicators. Thanks to WYES for the invitation--we had a great time!

Today, we're celebrating National Intern Day!

At Gambel Communications, we believe the best way to learn this profession is by doing it. That means more than sitting in on meetings. It means contributing to meaningful projects, attending client events, asking questions and learned from experienced communicators every step of the way.

This summer, we asked our intern, Alana, to share one thing she's learned during her time at Gambel.

We're proud to invest in the next generation of communications professionals and grateful for the opportunity to be a part of their journeys.

Are you feeling pressure to post on social media every single day? You're not alone, and you may not need to.

In this week's Getting Social with Gambel on WVUE FOX 8, April Catarella talks about one of the biggest misconceptions businesses have about social media: that posting more automatically leads to better results. The truth? People aren't looking for more content, they're looking for content thats relevant, helpful and authentic.

Whether you're running a business, nonprofit or organization, focusing on meaningful conversations will always outperform posting just to fill your feed.

Watch the interview below and tell us: What's one type of content you enjoy seeing from the businesses your follow?
