Facebook can be an emotional place. A friends might post about giving birth to her first child, being stressed about her jobs or that jerk that stole her phone at the bar last night. Sometimes "liking" those posts doesn't cut it.
After Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg teased the company's plans last month, on Thursday Facebook unveiled "Reactions," a set of emojis to convey feelings such as love, sad and angry. The company will test these new buttons, which augment the like button, in Ireland and Spain first before rolling them out globally.

Curating content is one of the best online marketing strategies to successfully establish your presence as a thought leader, attract the attention of your audience, and build a profitable business online.
At first, that can sound counter-intuitive. Why is collecting and sharing other people’s content essential to building your own winning strategy? Three reasons ..
Door goede content te filteren (curation) voor jouw publiek kun je uitstekend vertrouwen opbouwen in je expertise en je netwerk uitbreiden. Omdat het best een klus kan zijn, is het niet onbelangrijk dat je daar met hart en ziel achterstaat. Nog meer content delen óm het maar te delen, is geen goed idee. Daar zit niemand op te wachten en het is zonde van je tijd.

Why Social Media?
Nowadays one of the first things an infant learns is how to swipe and unlock an iPhone. It’s insane to watch my 14 month year old nephew open various apps before he’s even able to form full sentences. Between our phones, desktops, and iPads people are constantly connected, and according to BI Intelligence, Americans spend more time on social media than any other Internet activing, including email!
But, what about your audience? Well, let’s look at the numbers. As of August 2015:
Facebook has 1.49 billion monthly active users.
Twitter has 316 million monthly active users.
Google+ and Instagram each have 300 million monthly active users.
LinkedIn has roughly 97 million monthly active users.
Facebook is bigger than the largest country on Earth! Your audience is there, but with so many users, how do you find then? Strategically using ads on Facebook is a guaranteed way to get in front of the right people when they’re ready to buy.
But Why Should I Pay to Play?

However, nothing conjures up a fantasy like quality, immersive content, and the following 15 luxury brands are creating the stuff dreams are made of.
Below you’ll find great content marketing cases studies demonstrating what these luxury brands have done to make content work for them.

As well as risking customer migration to competitors such brands would also face brand harm, according to a new study by content marketing platform NewsCred. The study showed that low quality or infrequently published content would prompt more than a quarter (27%) of consumers to believe that the brand was out of touch or not up to date with customer habits.

Wouldn’t it sound weird if you said the same thing to every person you encountered throughout the day?
Well, think of your social media posts in the same way. Each platform is different, and your posts should be too.
Even if you’re linking to the same content on your own website, each post on your various social media accounts should be tailored to succeed on that specific site in terms of tone and appearance. Here are some social media posting guidelines on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn

As the adage goes, rules are made to be broken.
In the realm of social media marketing, this is certainly true. As author and Digital Royalty Founder Amy Jo Martin famously says, when it comes to digital marketing, “renegades write the rules.”
Marketing professionals had the so-called rules drilled into their heads through academic or extracurricular study, while rogue marketers are sure to come across them in any social-related Google search. But as the window for innovation opens, how can we continue to work within these confines of our profession?
You must learn the rules before you break them.

The explosion of digital media has bred the modern, data-driven, analytically savvy marketer who understands and operates under the known pressure of tracking, measuring, and optimizing every media interaction to generate a positive return on advertising spend.
However, most brand marketers don't operate in the same data-driven manner as their counterparts in direct response. Instead, marketers have traditionally relied on softer metrics, such as reach, brand awareness, and share of voice as the markers of effectiveness.

Today, dynamic content is the new contender, and for good reason. It’s poised to deliver in a big way for the industry. Why do I think dynamic content is marketing’s new heir apparent? It’s a natural fit for the way today’s consumers interact with brands online.

There are many aspects to digital marketing that require constant surveillance and monitoring, perhaps none more so than social media. In a day and age where customers go online, tweet at a company and respect a response instantly, it's quite a challenge to constantly be "on" social media if you're a marketer. This challenge only amplifies in difficulty if you're someone who manages social media for dozens of clients. The secret to winning at social media is being, or at least appearing to be, constantly present.

Twitter has officially returned to its roots. This morning, the company introduced co-founder Jack Dorsey as its permanent CEO, removing the interim stamp he has operated under for the last four months.
The move was announced with an SEC filing and a series of tweets from Dorsey, who is also the CEO of mobile payments startup Square. The company also named Adam Bain chief of revenue and partnerships and reportedly another CEO candidate as chief operating officer. Former CEO Dick Costolo, who stepped down on July 1, has left the company’s board of directors.
