Watch or listen to episode 321 of the Digital and Social Media Sports Podcast, in which Neil chatted with Elijah Burke, Head of Social at Dirty Mo Media, and previously social media management and strategy at Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing (RFK) and Chip Ganassi Racing. Elijah discusses what makes NASCAR social a unique corner of the sports space, including the driver vs. team brand dynamic, what makes content go viral on a race team account, sponsor activation, fan development in NASCAR, and more.
The bar for good content just got higher…and most brands aren't ready. Daniel sits down with Jack Appleby (Founder of Future Social, ex-Beats by Dre, Verizon, Microsoft, Twitch) to break down what's actually changing in social media AND what still separates great brands from everyone else. With 15+ years in social, Jack shares a candid look at how the industry has evolved - from the early days of “figuring it out” to today's AI-powered content explosion - and why most brands are getting strategy completely wrong. They dive into the biggest misconception in social right now: confusing content with strategy. While everyone is chasing trends and pumping out posts, the brands that win are the ones building real emotional connections, original ideas, and repeatable creative systems. Jack also shares real campaign breakdowns (including ones from Dunkin and Adobe) to show how the best brands turn simple ideas into viral, high-impact content. If you want to build a brand that actually stands out on social in 2026, this episode gives you the blueprint. Wrike brings structure, visibility, and accountability to work, so companies can make better business decisions, improve efficiency, and reduce risk.

Stop us if you've heard this one before: “It's B2B, so it needs to be professional.” While that usually translates to “boring,” Kassandra Quinn, Social Media Strategist at ModSquad, is here to debunk the myth that B2B has to be stiff.

Many brands are too focused on current tactics, and they get too myopic and lose sight of the broader goal. It is not about chasing any type of en vogue content style. It is about understanding the bigger goal, and then banking wins that are in service of that goal.

This week's episode is a little different. A couple of weeks ago, I hosted a four-part live training series called 'Social Media for Video People' with my friends over at Ecamm. We spent an entire week breaking down how creators can save time, use smarter tools, and show up with confidence on video. And since this last workshop fell right on my normal Friday slot, I decided to bring you along for the ride.In this session, we tackled one of the biggest questions creators wrestle with: where should I be posting my videos, and how can I stand out once I do? We dug into the strengths of different platforms, how to think about repurposing content without burning out, and the little things that make your videos thumb-stopping in a crowded feed. If you weren't able to join us live, this replay gives you the full training so you can apply the same strategies right away. And if you'd like to catch the other three workshop days, covering planning, creation, and promotion, you can watch them all over on my YouTube channel.Key TakeawaysInstagram vs. TikTok vs. YouTube Shorts: Each has a different culture. Learn how to shape your video so it feels at home on the platform.Stop the scroll: Strong visuals, bold captions, and clear hooks are what grab attention in the first few seconds.Double up with email + social: Social brings people in, but email keeps them connected. Pair them for bigger impact.Growth without burnout: Build systems and repurpose smartly so you're consistent without running yourself ragged.ResourcesWorkshop Replays on YouTube:Day 1: Social Strategy for Video CreatorsDay 2: How to Use AI for Video Graphics & Social ContentDay 3: AI for Editing & Repurposing Video Like a ProCheck out Conor Brown at VacationKingdoms.comGrab some popcorn and visit Katie's personal podcast: TheVHSClubPod.com----------------------Ecamm - Your go-to solution for crafting outstanding live shows and podcasts. - Get 15% off your first payment with promo code JEFF15SocialMediaNewsLive.com - Dive into our website for comprehensive episode breakdowns.Youtube.com - Tune in live, chat with us directly, and be part of the conversation.

Want to know why the word “social media manager” might have a bad taste in your mouth? Maybe you have spent a ton of money, energy and time on one, only for it to not “work” in your mind. Here is the thing, when you hire someone for help with your social, it is important to know what to ask. As the saying goes, “How can you hire someone If you don't know what you need?” This is a powerful thought and can transform how you think. Can you go from being wired to think transactionally to focusing on the value of what having deeper, more meaningful connections can mean for your business?

Social networks are monsters when it comes to brand awareness. Whether you're posting a text-only post on LinkedIn, a carousel on Instagram, or going live on TikTok, all these platforms have their strengths. The biggest reason I'm such a big fan of social for building brand awareness is because it's FREE. On today's episode of the GaryVee Audio Experience, I'm sharing a recent hangout Hawk virtual event. The Hangout Hawk is 1 of 32 Access Token characters a part of the VeeFriends universe. This is a redeemable token that allows the token-holder to unlock unique experiences with myself. On this call, we talk with the holders about everything from finding your niche and building a brand to Social Strategies and digital collectibles.
