Creating Magical Moments on Social

Gina explains why all social campaigns need to lead with a strong story and why you should start with a clear objective before diving in. We hear many examples of campaigns that The Craftsman Agency has pulled off successfully, including viral Reddit AMAs and blockbuster movie campaigns.

Quotes From This Episode:
You can't be an expert in social, because it changes too fast to actually be an expert. Click To Tweet
“From an awareness standpoint, it’s harder to get people to agree that it’s just as important to focus on organic content.” @GinaMichnowicz
“With start-ups and people with lower budgets, we create different templates and content series that they can reuse and update. My only caution is don’t keep using the same thing over and over again.” @GinaMichnowicz
