⚠️ BeReal Just Got Acquired for $500M ⚠️ BeReal is a less “media” and more “social” social media app. Personally, it’s become the only social app I use daily. Here’s some of the unique features it unlocked: 1. Everyone gets the notification ⚠️ 2 minutes to capture a BeReal and see what your friends are up to! ⚠️ , and is supposed to post at the same time (RIP the infra team) 2. Displaying the number of retakes to your friends. This was meant to promote authentic, unfiltered pics 3. Using both cameras at the same time to create double sided picture The downside of being more “social” and less “media” is difficulties monetizing. BeReal recently started including brand and influencer following and networks in a move towards monetizing, but Time Spent per DAU is rock bottom compared to social giants. This was reflected in the value per active user - while BeReal raised its Series B at $100 per active user, the acquisition prices them at $10 per active user. Follow me on BeReal at @apmadhani

Sprout Social, Inc. nailed it, there’s just too much content on social media these days, and getting people to pay attention to your content is just going to become harder and harder in the future. You've gotta do more than just show up – you've gotta vibe with the crowd. Every little interaction - like, share, comment, or DM - is your chance to make someone's day and leave an impression. Social media marketing automation has been way, way behind the needs of brands and social media marketers so far. You need tools that personalize convos AND put your engagement game on autopilot otherwise good luck getting scale. Sending auto DMs that trigger when someone pokes around your content can be a game changer. Someone gives your post a like? A personalized thank you message should slide into their DMs. Got a share on your post about an exclusive offer → Set a DM to be sent out with a 15% off coupon. And why not use AI to read and reply to the comments left on your post? Let it soak up all your FAQs, catalog, knowledge base, and whatever else you feed it and use it to dish out super helpful replies. It's pretty obvious that getting smart with automating social media interactions and conversion moments is every brand’s best bet to not just survive but actually shine on social. We’re building something like this to make sure that every time someone digs the content you create after following Sprout Social's tips, you can turn it into an experience or into a lead for your CRM and convert them into customers directly in the DMs. Stay tuned.
Do you feel like social engagement has been down? There's a reason for that. ⤵ Brands weren’t posting *less* last year on average. But from 2022 - ‘23, content engagements went down, according to The Content Benchmarks report. Why? Think about it: consumers’ feeds are overloaded, and they’re more discerning with what posts get their attention and reactions. To bring engagements up, you need to know what makes you stand out. 💡 Here are a few tips from our Content Benchmarks Report: 1️⃣ Prioritize creating original content. Trends will give you a boost, but original content makes you memorable and unique in the feed. 2️⃣ For an authenticity boost, feature co-workers and customers in your content. We found that consumers want to see front-line employees, the social team and customers on brand social channels. 3️⃣ ID the formats that work. We found that while many brands are posting mostly single-image posts on Instagram, short-form video is what consumers want to see. See what formats work best for *you,* and prioritize them.

Swoop, a budget airline with a knack for the dramatic, turned a beach in Mexico into a ticking clock of sorts, drawing a giant coupon in the sand and saying, "Beat the tide, grab the deal." ⏳🏖 As if the ocean cared about our little human bargains. Then they take it live, streaming the whole spectacle on Facebook Live. Viewers tune in, not just watching but participating in real-time. As those waves inched closer, so did the impulse to act. 🌊➡️💡 And it all worked. The urgency, the literal race against nature—it sent bookings skyward. We're talking an 80% climb, the kind of numbers that make you sit up and rethink what's possible in marketing. 📈 And here's where it gets interesting for marketers looking to capture a fraction of that magic without the sandy logistics. DropYacht helps you use those moments of engagement, creating urgency and action by setting traps for moments. You throw out a live stream, ask viewers to drop a hashtag for a coupon, and bam, DropYacht automates the chase, sending discount codes to those quick on the draw. 🎥💬💌 And for the ones that got away, those nearly-customers? DropYacht feeds all that info into your CRM so that you can retarget them and try to convert them later. With all that data neatly organized in your CRM, you can tailor your follow-ups.
