This week we tried something new and did a LIVE recording of the A-side of the podcast on @racheljosilver's Instagram! We answer a question from a brand targeting boaters/waterfront living on the best resources for finding microinfluencers. Plus we give advice on what a new brand's first Instagram post should be at launch.

Episode 16 continues on the B-side with the two Jujus: @jdalfeen and @julia_casella (since @racheljosilver is in sunny FL this week!). @julia_casella (aka the first-ever @birchbox social intern) manages influencer marketing at @beautyblender—that magical pink sponge in every makeup bag.
We dish on Instagram's latest news that you'll soon be able to screenshot Stories (which will seriously cramp on sosh med stalking, but fear not—@julia_casella has a hack). Plus, we talk about fancy toothpastes, our favorite beauty influencers, and so much more.

We have a VERY special guest for this week's A-side episode: @julia_casella! She started as @jdalfeen's and @racheljosilver's intern at @birchbox... and basically never left. She's now on the global communications team at @beautyblender managing influencer marketing—and we're psyched to have her on the pod.
We're answering questions on: how to increase likes and comments, if you really need to be on every social platform, and what's the deal with long Instagram captions?

Twitter was gone for a second (pretty much once Snapchat entered our lives), but we think it's officially back—so on this week's B-side ep, we're talking about our favorite people to follow on the original 1:1 sosh med network! Such as:
@melgrilloaruz
Plus, we wax poetic on the new @champagnepapi "God's Plan" music video, @amyschumer's surprise wedding, and play our usual favorite B-side games like "Saved By the 'Gram" and "Do You Follow?".

This week we're answering a question from a listener who works at an outdoor apparel company on paid social media ads: What KPIs should you be using to measure success, and what type of attribution model makes the most sense?
Plus, we go deep on a Q from someone working at a nonprofit who's asking about engagement vs. follower size on social—which is more important? (Spoiler alert: They BOTH are).

On this week's A-side, we're answering a very specific question from a listener asking about the influencer and affiliate marketing launch plan of a brand we mentioned a few episodes back: @meetbuffy. So we went straight to the source and brought in social media and content marketing consultant, @arbro, as our special guest! She's the brains behind the strategy and execution of the @meetbuffy program (not to mention she used to run social at @renttherunway and influencer strategy at @therealdba). We get into the weeds on the tools to plan, launch, track, and sustain an influencer and affiliate marketing program for a totally new brand.

The hot social media goss this week is that we launched ANOTHER POD. We're very excited and you can listen to it here. We also chat about how @jdalfeen's feed is being taken over by @philadelphiaeagles content (Go Birds!), IG scheduling, @BrosBeingBasic, @BestInBourbon, @WovenWhale, and more. Plus, we have a cameo from the one and only @CaitlinCScott who tells about her Instagram name change struggles and other sosh med intel.

This week on the A-Side we discuss how a furniture designer should use Instagram between product releases (h/t @durodeco), how to use Pinterest for your business, and whether or not you should start a new Instagram account for your passion project. Plus, we announce our NEW PODCAST, Since You Asked...: A Podcast on Your Wedding Questions, and how it was inspired by our love for Facebook groups and the broken magazine editor/reader relationship.
Flipping it over to the B-side of episode 12, we talk about @racheljosilver's deodorant epiphany (and the stellar use of Instagram Poll feature), a mini peek at the relaunch of lovestoriestv.com (check out the brand sparkly new site!)—plus we play our usual show games of "Instagram Roulette," "Do You Follow?", and the latest addition: "Save the 'Gram," where we walk through a recent save to our Instagram Collections from the week.
