This agency puts Broadway shows in the spotlight

@BOMBAS does cause marketing right
11/19/2019
Recent years have bare witness to the uprising of cause marketing — that is, brands aligning themselves with a cause or mission to give back. If you’ve seen phrases like “20% of all proceeds go to X” or “For every dollar spent, we donate a dollar to Y” then you’re already familiar.
But how, as a brand, do you know what cause to align with? And how do you position your efforts in a way that respects the communities you aim to serve?

We talk about:
Social listening:
"[I use] Twitter and Tweetdeck. Every morning I just, within Twitter, natively, read all of our notifications and then I'll go into Tweetdeck to monitor conversations around us when people aren't necessarily mentioning us, and just larger industry conversations."
The perfect length to run a Twitter Poll:

@TeamKano engineers targeting magic
5/7/2019
When it comes to ad targeting and testing, @TeamKano's ingenuity is best in class. The London-based company targets different audiences, with different messaging, at different times, to optimize sales of their DIY computer kits. And because those techniques are so valuable — we had to have Chiara Radini, Performance Marketing Manager at Kano, on our newest episode of Character Count.
Launched in 2013, @TeamKano aims to empower the next generation of coders and makers by “demystifying what's...

@Grindr's campaign takes a stand
4/23/2019
In an age of influencer marketing — a strategy of showcasing your most loyal fans — popular queer dating app @Grindr defied the norm and did the opposite. They selected real users from the communities most discriminated against on their app and gave them a soapbox. Literally.
Join us as we talk with Matt Brooks, the Social Media Manager who worked on @Grindr’s Kindr campaign, about how their small, scrappy team created such an impactful campaign.

@Dropbox jumps out of the background
3/26/2019
Susan Chang manages social media for @Dropbox — that’s right, all of it. She oversees multiple accounts running multiple campaigns, answering the tough questions most of us have probably encountered: which teams should get their own handle?

@MontereyAq brings the ocean online
3/12/2019
There isn’t a better subject for our first episode of Character Count than the quick and lively @MontereyAq.
We often tell clients to create a human personification of their business and use that persona to guide their “Twitter voice.” The Monterey Bay Aquarium— an ocean conservation non-profit dedicated to education and exhibits—is a best-in-class example.
@MontereyAq broke through the ice with popular witty memes, ASCII art (more on what that is in the episode), and a boat load of fish...
