Why Consistency is Key
Navigating social media successfully can feel like a minefield at times. Will you ever get that viral post? Is your content getting in front of the right people?
These are all normal questions, but ultimately, through it all, consistency is key.
On this episode of Social Pros, we spoke to the epitome of consistency on social, Jacob Shipley. Jacob is the Manager of Digital Customer Experience at Tyson Foods.
