Hi there, it’s us — the social team.

We know what you’re thinking, how 2007 of us and oh so old school, and may we even say ~vintage~ to hold off on the DM and reach out via blog post.

You will start to see this roundup once a month filled with all things social. As some of you know – our team has done a lot of work to evolve our social offerings and strategy over the last year. We want to use this space to keep you all in the loop on any buzzworthy social updates. We hope it benefits you professionally … or just on your own sosh meeds.

So what would be the best way to kick off our monthly roundup? It only seems appropriate to focus on LOVE — why we ❤️  social and why you should love it too!

In this edition:

  • L: Let’s dive into fun facts and highlight a few client success stories.
  • O: Omg! Social news you don’t want to miss.
  • V: Very funny Valentine’s Day tweets.
  • E: Every ending has a happy story and this one ends with Brafton content.

^Love it? We made it!

How much do you love your favorite Twitter accounts? Enough to pay a subscription fee? According to a recent report, Twitter’s exploring new subscription and revenue options.

Pinterest + Stories = True love? ❤️  Unlike the other platforms, these won’t ghost you after 24-hours. Pinterest recently announced Story Pins follower streams.
