Hi friend 👋🏼 and welcome to this week’s edition of “the dump.” It’s beautiful and ☀️ outside, Spring is springing, the trees are blooming and social media is still the most important channel in your marketing mix ✨

I’m excited about this week’s content. First off a piece I wrote about what it means to be a successful brand on social today, and hint, it’s not about content…

We also cover stories on LinkedIn, Meta AI, free Instagram tools to grow your account and a lot more.

I can’t wait to see what you click on 😁

As always, we really appreciate you and your support.

Let’s go!

📊 Stat of the Day: More than 1/3 of consumers have ditched Google Search for Pinterest search

🌤️ This week on WeRSM:

  1. The Best Brands Don’t Just Post, They Talk Back - Social media has evolved, but a lot of brands haven’t. They’re still stuck treating social like a publishing platform when it’s now something much closer to a conversation platform

  2. Threads Wants You to Cross-Post on Instagram - Could your Threads get more views if you shared them on your Instagram Stories? It seems to be what Meta is suggesting.

  3. X Rolls Out Support For 4K Uploads - The objective is clear: compete with YouTube and Vimeo and keep users on the platform. 4K video uploads will be made available to all premium subscribers

  4. Meta Joins The AI Race With New Meta AI App - The new Meta AI app allows users to access Meta AI in a standalone app, similar to the ChatGPT app and other AI assistant apps.

  5. LinkedIn Lets You Show Off Your Verified Status Across the Web - LinkedIn is making it free verification system available to other platforms. Adobe is among the first companies to sign up.
