It has been zero days since I last received dick pics in our brand inbox.

I make a lot of jokes about the TikTok algorithm being scary accurate but so far this month I’ve come across not one but TWO videos from people talking about the same obscure surgery I had four weeks ago.

How to sum up the daily experience of a social media manager in five words: "That's not how that works."

An open letter to all non-social colleagues: The time to ask me to "talk strategy" is not 24 hours before your event. Respectfully, no.

The worst comments about this job aren't from critics online. It's from your family and friends when they laugh and say things like "why would Small Company need a social person?"

my coworker just looked me in the eye and said "if someone will watch a 10 second video, they'll watch a 60 second video."

We used to say you have 3 seconds to hook attention in a social media video. Facebook's saying it's down to 1.7 seconds now. facebook.com/business/news/…

times may change and platforms will evolve, but I take comfort in knowing that no matter what, it will be the alums who have never donated a cent and who haven't returned in years to be the ones to leave angry comments about campus parking #hesm

2023 reminder to remove: "I just" "I think" "Does that make sense" from your writing. You are confident, and you will write that way.
