one to one conversation with your current, past and potential customers.

to chats on the platform.

videos) on their profile.

Facebook recommends marketers to “blend in to stand out”:
• Instagrammers appreciate aesthetic quality in visual content and will often make
the effort to transform the banal into a thing of beauty. Brands seeking to engage
teens and young adults will want to offer an organic experience by aiming for
quality, too. Images and video will ideally be beautiful, thoughtfully composed and
artfully presented.
12. Suggestions for Posters on Instagram
• Here are a few types of high-quality photos you can post to Instagram:
• Product photos: If you sell physical products such as fashion or food, you can post
high-resolution photos of your product in various settings. Califia Farms
(@califiafarms) does a great job with this. (See more examples here from the best
brands on Instagram, according to HubSpot.)
• Behind-the-scenes: Another popular type of Instagram photos from brands are
behind-the-scenes photos. These could be photos of people in the company,
events, or the making of a product (e.g. how a dish is prepared).
• User-generated content: If you can’t get suitable product photos or enough behind-
the-scenes photos like us (a remote company that creates software), you could
post user-generated content.
17. The Conversation Prism?
YOUR AUDIENCE CAN USE IT TO:
• Create conversations about social media and explain that it goes beyond
Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
• Brainstorm new channels and ways to benefit from social media.
• Use it as a tool to create content.
• Study the landscape as you plan your next social media strategy.
• Show your expertise and that social media is not something that should be
ignored.
18. What Do the Lights Represent?
The “white light” in this case, is the focused stream of conversations that are often
grouped, but not separated by voice, context, source, or outcome. We take this
beam of dialog and blast it into a spectrum of discernible light, let’s call it
enlightenment, to see, hear, learn and adapt. We quite literally bring conversations
to light. Used figuratively, it references the clarification or distortion afforded by a
particular viewpoint…for example, “We view conversations across the networks
through the prism of our social dashboard.”
Each shade of color represents an entirely unique reflection of light, meaning
separating context and intention by network.
