156 - Why Social Media is NOT easy, with...

Daniel Murray
About this episode

How does a social media strategist who worked for top brands like Whataburger, Crayola, and Twitter think about overcoming some of today’s biggest challenges facing social media advertising?

 

This week, Dani Trevino chats with Daniel about the transition from macro-influencers to micro-influencers, why finding people who genuinely love your product is the best way to promote brand loyalty, and how to determine if you should bother hopping on the latest social media trend or not. 

 

Then, stay tuned to find out why case studies and hands-on internships are the best way to learn whether agency or in-house life is right for you.

 

And thanks to our episode sponsor, Retention.
