×For brands in the CPG space, Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) partnerships present a unique opportunity to connect authentically with athlete audiences. NIL offers fresh, relatable content through college athletes who resonate with both Gen Z and Millennial consumers. Authenticity: College athletes are perceived as relatable and genuine, fostering stronger brand loyalty Cost-Effectiveness: NIL partnerships can be more budget-friendly than macro and mega influencer partnerships Targeted Reach: Athletes often have strong regional followings, allowing for precise geographical targeting In order to make sure a partnership between a college athlete and a brand is successful and strategic, there are some key considerations when building the partnership: Athlete Alignment: Prioritize athletes who genuinely align with brand values and naturally integrate products into their daily routine Focus on authenticity over follower count, as relatable content drives higher engagement Content Creation Capability: Ensure athletes are skilled content creators who can produce high quality, engaging lifestyle content Just because an athlete has a large following, doesn’t mean they excel at creating compelling content - prioritize those with proven content creation skills Regional Targeting: Leverage athletes with strong regional or local followings to enhance brand presence in targeted markets Ideal for brands with specific geographic goals or regional distribution Brand-Athlete Alignment: Identify athletes whose personal stories or interests align with the brand’s mission (health, sustainability, performance, etc) Consider creative campaigns that tie athlete names or personas to product names for memorable partnerships ( Angel Reese worked with Reese’s , Darianna Littlepage-Buggs worked with Raid ) Flexible Campaign Structures: Design campaigns that allow athletes to showcase products in authentic settings, such as game-day routines, training sessions, or everyday life Encourage long-term partnerships to foster brand loyalty and deepen consumer trust…
Meta Looks To Bring Back ‘OG Facebook’ With Revamped Friends Tab Notes: Facebook’s New Friends Tab : Focuses on friend-only content (posts, stories, Reels). Includes birthday reminders, friend requests, and online status. Aims to shift focus from AI-recommended content back to personal connections. Meta’s Goal : Bring back Facebook’s original purpose of connecting friends and family. Zuckerberg acknowledges Facebook moved away from its early social elements. Plans to reintroduce “OG” Facebook experiences throughout the year. Challenges: People post less on Facebook now, leading to low engagement in the new tab. Most users won’t navigate away from the main feed to check the Friends tab. Shift to private messaging makes public sharing less appealing. Conclusion : Meta is trying to revive Facebook’s nostalgic social experience. However, user behavior has changed, making success unlikely. Overall, many doubt this will significantly improve engagement. MO Thoughts: This feels like Meta trying to recapture nostalgia without addressing why people stopped posting in the first place. Facebook became less about personal connections and more about ads, divisive content, and passive scrolling. A dedicated friends tab won’t magically bring back organic sharing when users have already moved to private messaging and other platforms. Unless they rethink how people want to engage, this update is more of a nice idea than a real solution.…
On this episode, I talk about not segregating out organic and paid social, and really having a more holistic approach to your social media strategy. NOTe: The social media landscape has evolved significantly, and platform algorithms no longer distribute organic content the way they once did. Organic reach continues to decline across platforms as algorithms prioritize content from personal connections and paid placements. Relying solely on organic data does not paint the full picture, as many posts don’t reach a significant portion of our audience without paid support. To accurately assess performance and make strategic decisions, it’s essential to analyze organic and paid metrics together.…
On this episode, I break down Lia Haberman's: When To Adopt and When to Abandon a Channel - March 2025 Exploring New Platforms First step: Download the app, create an account, and explore its functionality. Understanding a platform is different from committing to creating and maintaining content. Two Approaches to Adopting a Channel [1] Reactive Method (Not Ideal) Many social media managers feel pressured to adopt new platforms due to external influences. Common scenario: A company executive reads about a new platform and asks why the brand isn’t on it. Leads to rushed decisions without a strategy. Simply having a presence on a platform is not a valid goal. Constantly chasing new platforms can lead to: Burnout Reduced content quality Mental health concerns [2] Strategic Method (Recommended Approach) Creating an account should be the last step, not the first. Strategic adoption aligns with: Organizational goals Audience needs Available resources Key Questions to Consider Before Adopting a New Platform Understand Your Goals – Does the platform help achieve business objectives? Know the Audience – Research platform culture, user behavior, and preferences. Content Fit – Can content be adapted naturally to the platform? Examine Resources – Can the team sustain consistent, high-quality content? Evaluate Competitors & Peers – Are industry leaders seeing success on the platform? Develop a Content Management Plan – Ensures consistency and engagement. Track Progress – Regularly assess performance and adjust strategy as needed. Conclusion A thoughtful strategy prevents wasted effort and resources. If a platform isn’t delivering results, reallocate efforts to more impactful channels.…
On this episode, I implore people to start dabbling more in AI and understand how these tools can help them in their day to day work. Here is a thought leader worth following to help feed your brain.
On this episode, I am encouraging brands to get back to basics with educational and "why them" messaging in their content. Graphic design, carousels, and/or UGC style informational and usage case type content goes a long way. Dont ignore these types of building block assets!
On this episode, I recommend paying attention to recent Instagram updates and/or announcements of whats to come: A Vertical Grid - LINK (and our Sircle document here ) - ALREADY LIVE ON IG Posts on your grid are now vertical instead of square, and Instagram’s added an editing tool so people can adjust their thumbnails to the new grid size 2025 Algorithm Priorities - LINK At a high level, there are two types of ranking on Instagram: Connected reach (accounts that follow you) Unconnected reach (accounts that don’t yet follow you) For both, the top three signals that matter most for ranking are: Watch time Likes Sends (shares) So when looking at your insights, pay close attention to average watch time, likes per reach, and sends per reach One nuance: likes are slightly more important for connected content, and sends are slightly more important for unconnected content Edits App - LINK Instagram is launching a new video creation app that includes editing, insights, project management capabilities, a better-quality camera, and the ability to share drafts with friends It’s a full suite of creative tools There will be a dedicated tab for inspiration, another for keeping track of early ideas A much higher-quality camera All the editing tools you’d expect The ability to share drafts with friends and other creators If you decide to share your videos on Instagram — powerful insights into how those videos perform Highlights Tab - LINK Looking to move highlights into the grid and add them as a tab Grid Control - LINK Building a tool so you can re-order your entire grid and make it whatever you want Adding the ability to post directly to your grid, in case you want to bypass feed entirely…
On this episode, I update you on TikTok's big weekend and just a POV on how to think about this platform and others moving forward.
On this episode, I talk about how the potential TikTok ban is just another shift in social network usage and we have seen tons of them before and will see more in the future. These things tend to ebb and flow and if it does get banned and go away, attention will move elsewhere and you just need to be ok with that and prepared to pan for gold when it does.…
Instagram has rolled out Trial Reels and I think brands should experiment with them. It's a great opportunity for brands to test messaging ideas, learn more about how non-followers engage with their content, and provides a chance to appeal to new demographics or experiment with different tones and styles to see what resonates outside their current audience.…
On this episode, I remind brands to get back to basics by creating content around who they are, why it matters, and where to buy them. K.I.S.S
Adam Mosseri shared some quick tips to help improve your IG content performance in his weekly Q and A session on IG Stories Reposting your Reels to Stories will expand your reach Collab Posts will see better performance when the account with a bigger following sends the collab request “In general, the ranking system for Collab posts biases more towards the original collaborator than the person who accepts. It really shouldn’t matter, but right now it matters a bit, so if the original collaborator is the larger account, that will help on the margins.”…
On this episode, I talk about how Instagram Updated its Metrics to Focus Creators on Views over follows, likes, and comments. I reference this post and more can be found in this article . Highlights: Instagram metrics are shifting focus from followers and likes to reach. Instagram Chief Adam Mosseri has been advocating for creators to prioritize reach over follower count. Instagram is reforming its analytics, making "Views" the primary metric across all formats (reels, live, photos, carousels, and stories). Reels Plays are being relabeled as “Views,” and “Views” will become the main metric for photos, carousels, and stories. Insights will now feature a “Views” icon, replacing metrics like “Accounts reached,” “Accounts engaged,” “Interactions,” and “Watch time.” Repeat views of content will be counted, similar to how plays and replays are counted for reels. The change aims to shift focus from follower counts due to the evolving behavior of Instagram users. Over 50% of posts in the IG feed are now shown through Meta’s AI recommendations, not from profiles users follow.…

On this episode, I talk about Meta making some updates to try and grab TikTok users over to the platform. Some notes to reference: Instagram Instagram is testing a new feed called “Blend” - Reels recommendations based on Reels you’ve shared with friends and your Reels interests Essentially, trying out a more integrated way to facilitate Reels sharing, by tapping into the user behavior of sharing Reels via DM Instagram isn’t live testing this as yet Instagram is testing out a new way to comment on specific images within a carousel post The new option enables users to @mention the number of an image within a carousel to append their comment to that specific image or video It could be another way to drive more focused engagement and encourage more interaction Facebook The TikTok-ification of social media more broadly continues, with Facebook rolling out a new, consistent full-screen video player , which will see all videos posted to the app expand to the TikTok-like vertical format When you tap on a video anywhere on the Facebook app, you’ll now consistently see a fullscreen, vertically oriented video Previously, depending on the length of the video or where you were watching, you may have seen horizontal videos or videos that played in a Feed-like player…

On this episode I break down why I am a fan of give aways and brand collabs. I reference: Gift card-based brand collabs (like this and this ) continue to perform well and are a good way to “sweeten the pot” outside of just giving away products + they serve as retail support content and hopefully drive people in-store. Out-of-the-box sweepstakes can be a great way to drive email subscribers in addition to engagement/followers on IG, this Remedy Fall Adventure Sweepstakes brought in 16K email subscribers.…

On this episode, I explain that social media KPIs, should not be focused solely on web traffic. Many people will never transact and perhaps not even want to visit your traditional website. Some will see impressions, remember at Retail, and then try your product. Remember, awareness, consideration, and trial are the name of the game and that is most often going to happen without a website step.…
