Join us as Emily chats with VP, Creative Scott Trobaugh about:

  • the growth of social media and the increased focus on “in the moment” and real-time social media applications
  • the relevance of the newest platforms, such as Clubhouse and TikTok, to B2B audiences

  • what marketers should consider when deciding what platforms to leverage
  • the importance of having a social response plan in place

Quote from the episode:

“It’s important to remember it’s a marathon and not a sprint. So, you’re not going to have 10,000 followers overnight. You’re not going to have a million views on a video in a week. It’s really putting in the work to develop that content calendar. To plan ahead. And be consistent. Be consistent in your responses. Be consistent in your messaging. Be consistent in your posting.”
