The power of community and social media listening⬇️
Yesterday a video went viral on TikTok when a woman shared the inside of her car after it caught on fire Including her Stanley cup - still in tact and with ice in it!!! The president of Stanley stitched the video in < 24 hours offering to replace her cup…..and her car. This company will now get likely 1B earned media impressions and positive brand awareness + knowledge of the quality of their product through this one quick response and 30 second video. 1. Listen to your social team 2. Moved fast 3. Care about your audience Great marketing move, Stanley!!!

I’d also add this in the surprising social media findings: “A third of adults who use TikTok say they regularly get news there, up from 22% two years ago.”
Some of Pew's most striking findings: - 41% of Americans say they don't use cash in a typical week of purchases - More adult TikTok users in the US are getting news on the platform - Nearly half of US teens say they use the internet "almost constantly" pewresearch.org/fact-tank/20…

Really insightful stuff here!
What would happen if you gifted your product to 2,000 influencers? America's oldest brand did it in 1 month. Let's see how it's going:

There's some real strategic advice here for answering the "should my company leave Twitter?" question. 💡Is Twitter where your customers, creators, + employees are? 💡Are you seeing a significant drop in performance? No? Stay the course. Yes and seeing an issue? Peace✌️
Twitter’s an absolute mess right now because Elon is Eloning, leaving brands with two huge questions: 1. should you stop Twitter content? 2. should you stop Twitter advertising? I wrote down some thoughts: marketingbrew.com/future-soc…
