I’m old enough to remember a time when misspelling “potato” was all it took for people to think you weren’t smart enough for public office.

I saw Sinners opening weekend and I haven't been able to get it out of my head since. It's one of those films that will require multiple viewings to truly appreciate. I just want to watch it again and again and pick apart every tiny detail. Absolutely brilliant.

"ChatGPT is going to put social media managers out of work." Nah fam, I'm rebranding myself as an "artisanal" social media manager and tripling my rates. These are homegrown, farm to tablet, certified organic memes.

Any other social media managers have that fear that despite multiple approvals, edits, and the fact it's been on the calendar for weeks, as soon as you post, you'll get a Slack message that says "We actually want that post to go out on a different day. Can you take it down?"

Saying an intern can run your social media marketing efforts is like looking at a piece of modern art and saying "my kid could paint that." In both cases, you're not respecting the medium and showing your lack of understanding of it.

Gah...April Fools on social media is the worst... It's just brands posting endless variations of the same three jokes. 1. We made a fake product! 2. Look at this gross new flavor! 3. We are changing our name to something ridiculous.

I shouldn’t have to say this but…SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGERS AREN’T GRAPHIC DESIGNERS. THEY AREN’T VIDEOGRAPHERS, COPYWRITERS, PHOTOGRAPHERS, ON-CAMERA TALENT, WEB DESIGNERS, OR ANY OTHER JOBS COMPANIES DECIDE TO THROW ON THEIR JOB DESCRIPTIONS!

My grandfather was an air force mechanic and in his retirement he's always say that his greatest wish was to have his own B-52 in his backyard...so he could go out at and beat it with a sledgehammer every day. I feel the same way about Meta Business Studio.

Reminder to employers: It's highly unlikely that the top talent in the world lives within a 50 mile radius of your offices! There's MASSIVE pools of incredibly talented people that don't live in major cities! Why would you limit your pool of potential talent to stick to an out-dated office model?

As a social media consultant, nine times out of ten, much of the advice I give to brands who want to get better results from their social media marketing efforts, is exactly what their social media manager has been trying to get them to do for months if not years, and mostly been ignored.

most brands don’t fail on social media because of their social media managers—it’s because they fail to listen to their social media managers.

You can't expect ONE social media manager to do content creation, analytics, strategy, customer service, community management, paid ads, graphic design, video editing, influencer marketing, understand FB, Twitter, Insta, LinkedIn, TikTok AND expect them to be good at ALL of it.
