My Journey to Give Up Social Media

Are you in a “new year, new you” mindset? Do you want to start fresh with a whole new mindset? If so, look no further than deleting your social media accounts. Now this may sound strange for many but hear me out. Social media has become second nature in American society mainly among Millennials and Gen Z-ers. One cannot wake up in the morning without opening an app. Meeting new people is more common in cyberspace than it is to meet face to face. Christmas card photos, pregnan

The Rise of Skywalker took Twitter by Storm{trooper}

*WARNING: SPOILER ALERTS! Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker came out on December 20, 2019. Since then, Twitter and the Star Wars fan world has had plenty of time to decide how they felt about the new movie. First, let’s talk Kylo Ren/Ben Solo. Personally, my teenage brother and I found Adam Driver’s face perfect and hilarious for the role of Kylo Ren. He always had such a confused look on his face. But Driver played his role so well, I can’t even be mad at him for it. You coul

#ChickenWar2019

For about a year now, Wendy’s has had a strong social media presence, mostly on twitter. Whoever is running their social media account often “claps back” at any hater that Wendy’s may have. These past few months, however, Popeye’s released a new chicken sandwich which unleashed an all-out social media war on Chick-Fil-A. Although Chick-Fil-A is known as “the Lord’s food,” both restaurants had some pretty amusing arguments. The banter continued for about two weeks between Pop

If you spend as much time on Twitter as I do then you have probably seen a post or two from Elon Musk. In case you don’t keep up with nerd news like I do, Elon Musk is a millionaire entrepreneur, who is most noted as the CEO of Space-X and Tesla.

How to Write for Different Social Media Platforms

When using social media platforms for your brand, a good thing to think about first is the demographics that use each platform. By knowing this information, you can see who to target on each platform. From there, it’s easier to see how to best use each platform to create a brand image and spread your brand’s message.

What Wendy's Can Teach Us About Social Media

In case you missed it, Wendy’s social media team is killing the Twitter game. It all started in 2016 when Wendy’s began promoting their 4 for $4 special.
