Social media has been moving away from the perfectly polished aesthetic, and more brands are finally embracing the 𝙪𝙣𝙥𝙤𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙝𝙚𝙙 𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙩.

Even though these effortless campaigns are often carefully thought through, the idea might have been spontaneous, and the design is also made to feel real and fun.

These kinds of posts help brands jump on trends without overthinking the sales pitch, making content feel like part of the conversation.

Read about some of our favourite campaigns:

Ultra polished social campaigns don't connect with your audience. Real and unpolished social posts perform better, it's content your audience wants to see.

Have you watched ? Our recent blog was inspired by a recent internal discussion our team had, which was sparked by the series.

We are parents, we are millennials, but we are also social media experts with in-depth knowledge of social media dangers, and we wanted to share our opinions in case they help parents create a safer online environment for their children.

If you’d like to discuss parental controls or any of your concerns, we’d be happy to have a chat and give you more tips on social media privacy settings.

Please read our tips:

A discussion sparked by Netflix’s Adolescence has resulted to a blog with our experience and tips on how to create a safer online environment for children.

Their School Competition included hundreds of entries of creative writing, videos and artwork promoting anti-racism from students of all ages around the UK, and as judges to determine the most inspirational, creative and poignant pieces, it was incredibly hard to pick the winners. Well done to all the participants for putting your hearts out there to speak up for equality and thank you to SRtRC for the invite! ❤️

This month, like every other Women’s History Month, we are surrounded by marketing campaigns celebrating women and spreading awareness for gender equality.

Although most are truly inspiring to see, sometimes we can’t help but physically recoil at insensitive social media posts and campaigns that are clearly published just to jump on a trend for engagement, sales and likes.

International Women’s Day is a powerful opportunity for brands to advocate for gender equality and build a stronger connection with their audience. So how do you create a campaign that truly resonates with your audience?

Read our tips for creating a successful International Women’s Day campaign: https://www.onthepodium.co.uk/what-makes-a-great-international-womens-daycampaign/

Pro tip: it’s not the time to push for sales.
