It goes without saying that social media now plays an integral part to the marketing strategy of many businesses. Through likes and shares, companies can get the exposure not many emails or hard copy headlines can get.

Roland Dransfield’s most recent successes were celebrated on the big stage last week as we were awarded PR Agency of the Year at the MPA Awards for the second year running!

When it comes to brand marketing there are plenty of platforms to make use of, and Reddit and Snapchat’s new collaboration is another exciting new gateway for coverage.

This week we were lucky enough to bring Anna into Roland Dransfield for a bit of work experience. Anna’s in the throes of university, working part time and socialising the rest – she falls right into the target audience of many of our clients.

Let’s face it, social media is saturated. It’s saturated with everything from generic business posts to cat videos (which is arguably not a bad thing). For this reason, however, it’s never been more important to create scroll stopping content for your own social media accounts – finding a way to be seen amongst all the noise is imperative for business growth.

Let’s be real, we all love Instagram. There’s nothing quite like the pride of taking a gorgeous photo – whether it’s a beautiful, scenic lakeside scene or your face – and seeing the likes roll in.

Over the years, Instagram became an essential business tool to the point that almost every single business owns an account.

In some shock news last week, Lush has announced that they will be closing down all of their UK social media platforms.
