The king of social business advice. CEO of VaynerMedia and VaynerSports, Gary Vaynerchuk gives a raw view of what might be holding you or your business back, but more importantly, he offers solutions to how you can get over it. It may be advice you don’t always want to hear, but it will definitely kick start your processes. His feed is made up of his own motivational quotes, interview snippets, and recently a series of comic strips – an originally brilliant way of getting messages across. A warning: if you can’t abide expletives, Gary Vee might not be for you. But if you’re a fan of sharp humour, creative video content and you’re looking for expert guidance, then he’s your man.
If you’re not already following Instagram for Business, what are you waiting for? Their feed is full of fresh and beautifully shot photos, showcasing top brands and businesses and telling their stories. With a little bit of background, they’ll delve into how Instagram benefits their business but better still, they provide you with a ‘pro tip’ on how you can make Instagram work for your own brand. And let’s not forget Instagram Stories. Followers also have access to their key insights, top tips and how-to’s on Instagram’s top features and how best to utilise them for your brand. Handy, right?
Something these four brands are exceptionally good at is using their Instagram to interact directly with their audience. Rather than talking explicitly about their products, they (very cleverly, we may add) use what we know about them to entertain and create fun, light-hearted posts we’re able to relate to. These four giants keep things relevant by reacting to events in the media, respond to their comments and never take themselves too seriously – a trait that’s often hard to master. So if you’re looking for an imaginative spin on promoting your product, it’s definitely worth taking a peek at their pages.
