As a conference that is run by POC, it’s encouraging to see DEI at the forefront of priority for many marketing teams.

Inclusivity can seem like a intimidating subject but when you break it down, there are easily digestible principles and we’ll walk you through them. Together.

During last year’s Facebook’s F8 conference, Mark Zuckerberg announced that Facebook will be placing more emphasis on Groups. Then a year later, Facebook ran Superbowl ads promoting Groups.

Every wonder why Facebook reminds you of posts you created 10 years ago? Because remarketing is oftentimes more powerful than creating brand new. Refreshing and remarketing content is not only an amazingly effective use of energy, old social posts and content oftentimes go further on the second push. Don’t waste unnecessary time and energy creating brand new content when you can drive traffic with the stories you already have!
