Anyone interested in following the 2016 campaigns for POTUS can't go wrong by keeping these Twitter handles and Facebook page links close to hand.

For many businesses a big chunk of marketing is done online these days. With a whole range of different social media to keep updated, it can be tempting to post the same content across all of your social media platforms. 

OMG. It’s so cool. At first the thought of a live video feed freaked us out a bit… but once we started using it and understanding how the platform could be used – WOW. We know, the fast-paced world of the internet is hard to keep up with at times.

The debate about whether social media directly affects SEO is a long running one, and the extent of the effect of social media on SEO is relatively unknown. One thing that we do know, however, is that social media can’t and shouldn’t be ignored when working on getting your website noticed online by search engines.

In 2015 marketing isn’t what it once was – you can binge watch Mad Men and see how advertising and marketing used to run. It used to take months to strategize and mock up an ad and marketing campaign, and then the cost and time investment of implementing and creating was massive.  But that was decades ago and things run at a pace so fast that by the time Don Draper finished his post-lunch drink it is time to move on to the next campaign.

If you're here you likely already know that each social media platform's needs are very different, and you want to know how to have the most audience relevant and platform appropriate content.

There is no question that Facebook dominates the social media scene, year after year. With over 71% of online adults having their own Facebook profile, it boasts the highest user numbers vs. any other social media platform out there. Even still, there are many people unaware of the capabilities available to them with the Facebook ‘Page’ option. So, what is a Facebook Page, and how does it differ from the basic Facebook Profile?

Now that we are well in to 2015, it's time to compare some thoughts on planners.

In the age of technology we are sharing more of our lives than ever online, we post our day-to-day details on twitter, our most beautiful moments on Instagram, and the most mundane moments land on SnapChat. Everywhere we go we see people with their head down and their phone aglow - but how much life is missed when it's lived this way?

Never fear, Go Be  Social Media is here with a round up of some of the best social media inspired  costumes for this year. From hashtags to selfies to emojis, we’ve got you covered.

With our cellphones practically glued to our hands these days, it is always important to take a step back and remember the simple etiquette do’s and don’ts of texting.

There's one thing we feel strongly about and it's the fact that self-promotion is a difficult marketing aspect to balance.  We believe that every online outlet deserves the planning and professionalism that comes from a social media team.

Isn’t it crazy how fast time begins to pass once the school year begins?  It’s not even September and there are already Halloween decorations on the shelves.  Before we know it, we will breeze through the holiday season and be ringing in the New Year.

On Facebook we frequently touch on the subject on the difference between a professional in social media and an amateur.  As many of us, who have been in this industry for years, have seen many times someone thinks running a social media campaign is done the same way as running personal social media accounts. But what the experts in this field know - is that the component of marketing so many campaigns fall short in is the plan.

SEO has a bad reputation among marketers and businesses. It's not an exact science, it's not something that can be explained in 90 seconds or less, and it's something that takes skill to work with and around. But SEO is vital for most internet users, and we'd like to talk about why.

When businesses start, or even as they grow, they consider all kinds of ways to promote and market themselves. After all, they think, who can speak for my brand and business better than I can?  They may start a few social media accounts, they may even get a blog up and some posts written, but these efforts are rarely as effective as they could be. But why?

In an ideal scenario social media marketing and traditional public relations work hand in hand to push your brand to the next level and optimize your reach.  However, it's not an ideal world and sometimes the relationship between the two takes work and trial and error.  

Creativity and innovation are an important part of making a social media campaign *POP*.  But if you want to catch the attention of new fans and followers it's vital you have a visually appealing social media platform.

It's a common issue we see sprinkled all over social media - stolen intellectual property (IP).  There's a lot of things people don't understand about IP and we want to help navigate the murky waters of online content.
