Platform Trends

Gary emphasizes the importance of being a "day trader of attention," adapting to the most relevant social media platforms as they rise in popularity. He highlights LinkedIn's transformation from a business profile site to a content-rich platform with organic reach similar to Facebook in 2011. The key, he notes, is to be creative and thoughtful in content creation to effectively capture audience attention.

The attention on the platform is greater than content that people are making. The biggest mistake that people make when it comes to marketing is they decide a platform is not for them.

Ignoring these shifts, Gary warns, can leave businesses vulnerable to being overtaken by more innovative competitors 1.

   

Content Strategy

Gary's team demonstrates the chaotic yet strategic nature of content creation, often producing multiple pieces of content in a short time frame. They aim to capture various formats, from stills to TikTok clips, to maximize engagement across platforms. This rigorous approach ensures a steady stream of tested and effective content, crucial for maintaining audience interest.

Somehow we just acquired, like, two, three, maybe four pieces of content in the matter of, like, 30 seconds real quick before Gary had to run to another meeting.
