I& #39;ve been running @morningbrew& #39;s social media for the past ~2 months

here& #39;s a thread of a few things i& #39;ve learned

Twitter strategy only for now

Insta later
1/ Hijack a super-powered timeline

turn on post notifications for someone big in your niche. For MB that person is @elonmusk

each time they tweet, be one of the first to respond

this interaction below got 300K+ impressions
2/ Double down on "voice" in comments section

MB has a very specific voice

on twitter, i wanted to turn that voice up a couple of notches

in twitter responses i turned it up even more

this thread was unfiltered MB at its best https://twitter.com/MorningBrew/status/1260706318551339016?s=20">https://twitter.com/MorningBr...
3/ When it comes to memes, invest in tools

memes look hastily assembled by nature but the right software helps a lot

for videos: https://www.kapwing.com/workspace/5edf8b2d66a6e60015899d82

for">https://www.kapwing.com/workspace... pics: Adobe photoshop

for inspiration: always be looking, always be borrowing
4/ Always be borrowing

i follow video aggregator accounts like @30SECVIDEOS and @RexChapman

i pull videos from their accounts and caption it to make it relevant to the MB audience

5/ Interact with power followers

I know @JJWatt is a fan of the Brew.

during #thematch i made sure to monitor his tweets to see if i could interact with him

got a RT and tons of exposure
6/ Never use emojis

just don& #39;t.

they never make a tweet better and almost always make it worse

plus the data backs it up: only 2 of our top 25 tweets contained emojis
7/ For giveaways, low lift is better

look at what was asked of people in each tweet and its clear which giveaway was going to get more interactions

(also emoji& #39;s in giveaways are okay in my book)
8/ Build a community

the easiest way to do that is to create a visual identity

@andrewyang did this with the https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧢" title="Kappe" aria-label="Emoji: Kappe">

im working on doing this with the "https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="☕️" title="Heißgetränk" aria-label="Emoji: Heißgetränk">"

when you run into another https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="☕️" title="Heißgetränk" aria-label="Emoji: Heißgetränk"> on twitter, you know they read the Brew.

community=built

9/ When it comes to the hard stuff, be genuine

im inexperienced handling important topics like the BLM protests

so i leaned heavily on @MorningBrew leadership for guidance

there is no right answer so we just did what felt truest to what we believed in as a company
10/ Go super viral

there& #39;s no secret sauce

just throw enough darts

without as much accuracy as you can muster

and eventually you& #39;ll hit the bullseye

bullseye=1 million impressions https://twitter.com/MorningBrew/status/1265321405786308608?s=20">https://twitter.com/MorningBr...
