We are officially into SPRING! FINALLY, the days are getting longer, but that doesn't mean you need to spend more time on your socials! Scroll down to see April's best social media dates and kick-start your content planning.
Perhaps you heard the news from the head of Instagram, Adam Moserri, that IG will return to prioritizing photos.
Adam admits that the platform went a little too hard on video and will slow their roll So, if you're an Instagram purist, you'll probably be happy to hear this news!
This doesn't mean video content is not important. I recently read that 40% of Gen Zers use Tik Tok as their search engine, NOT Google. The bottom line is, video isn't going anywhere, so if you're into the flow of video creation, stay the course!
If you need support with REELS or TIK TOK, reach out!
