You and I both know it: there\u2019s no secret to a successful social media campaign. Instead, there\u2019s just strategy; nowadays, posting won\u2019t cut it \u2014 and social media marketers are feeling the pressure more than ever.<\/p>\n\n
Tons of moving parts constitute a high-performing, truly modern social strategy. According to HubSpot\u2019s 2025 Social Media Trends Report<\/a>, some of them\u00a0include building online communities, planning channel-specific content strategies, prioritizing expert voices, and optimizing content for on-platform search.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n In short, there\u2019s so<\/em> much more to consider if you want to create a robust social media marketing campaign that\u2019s as impactful as it is effective.<\/p>\n Luckily, I\u2019m not here to tell you how<\/em> to run a social media campaign. I\u2019m here to tell you what <\/em>you should lean on \u2014 from tools to tactics \u2014 to make your next one a standout sensation. Keep reading to get everything you need (and then some) for your next social media glow-up.<\/p>\n Table of Contents:<\/strong> What is a social media marketing campaign?<\/a> Social Media Campaign Examples<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n <\/a> <\/p>\n Although a successful social media marketing campaign can be defined by one sentence, I would argue that its contents can\u2019t be.<\/p>\n In the next section, I\u2019ll explain in depth what scroll-stopping social media marketing campaigns entail and provide some eye-opening stats that will hopefully inform how you approach your social media marketing moving forward.<\/p>\n <\/a> <\/p>\n As I mentioned, the social media landscape has completely<\/em> changed over recent years.<\/p>\n Over the last year, between algorithm updates, new platform launches, and shifting audience expectations, it\u2019s clear that social media folks need to not only pivot but \u2014 and don\u2019t come for me \u2014 also consider potentially<\/em> deconstructing what content planning looks like.<\/p>\n Before I jump into how these shifts could directly impact your brand, I\u2019d like to elaborate on what I mean by all this. Here\u2019s a short breakdown:<\/p>\n Social media marketing is becoming increasingly reliant on multi-platform strategy and multi-content execution. <\/strong>Brands and their social media marketers should no longer post one type of content, nor should they post on one particular platform. Audiences want to see a variety of content across all the platforms they engage with, even if those platforms and content types aren\u2019t your brand\u2019s bread and butter. <\/p>\n If a brand wants to drive true ROI, its identity and motivations must be crystal clear through social media marketing. <\/strong>Consumers are done searching high and low to assess whether a brand is really what it says it is. These days, just by glancing at your social media profiles, they expect to get the big picture about a brand\u2019s commitment to social issues, specific demographics of folks, and core values. <\/p>\n A brand\u2019s social media marketing needs to incorporate AI support wherever possible.<\/strong> If your brand isn\u2019t utilizing AI, it\u2019s missing out on major opportunities to streamline content, improve social listening, and make brand storytelling accessible to more audiences. <\/p>\n Now, I\u2019m sure a couple of those truths were probably difficult to swallow, especially all at once, but they\u2019re necessary \u2026 if growth is the goal.<\/p>\n If you want to know what it\u2019ll take to adapt your social media campaigns and strategy for where the future of social is headed, take a look at the list of recommendations I put together below:<\/p>\n\n Social media marketing is becoming more and more video-centric; now that video\u2019s rise has arrived, it\u2019s not going anywhere.<\/p>\n HubSpot\u2019s 2025 State of Social Media Trends Report<\/a> revealed that YouTube adoption has grown 65% <\/strong>in the last year. And, according to more<\/em> data from the report, 83%<\/strong> of marketers feel comfortable posting on YouTube.<\/p>\n However, video strategy doesn\u2019t start and end with YouTube. Check out how B2C and B2B marketers (and their dollars) are showing up across various video platforms:<\/p>\n 34%<\/strong> of B2C marketers plan to invest more in TikTok this year, 31%<\/strong> in Instagram, and 29%<\/strong> in YouTube. <\/p>\n 26%<\/strong> of B2B marketers plan to allocate more budget to TikTok in 2025, only 24%<\/strong> plan to expand efforts into Instagram22%<\/strong> will prioritize investments in YouTube. <\/p>\n Social media marketing campaigns in 2025 are all about getting granular. As social media audiences develop preferences for how they want to engage with and receive content across different platforms, brands must shift and accommodate where their viewership and consumership will be and how to capture folks\u2019 attention.<\/p>\n That said, as you develop a social campaign strategy, consider tailoring your approach for these top social media channels:<\/p>\n YouTube <\/strong>(ranking at no. 1) <\/p>\n Instagram<\/strong> (ranking at no. 2) <\/p>\n TikTok<\/strong> (ranking at no. 3) <\/p>\n Now, although YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok take the top three slots for where brands are showing up, keep in mind that there are niche audiences on other channels. LinkedIn, Substack, Threads, Bluesky, even Facebook, are close runner-ups, so don\u2019t write them \u2014 or what they can do for your social strategy \u2014 off completely.<\/p>\n If you want your social media marketing campaign to thrive and survive any algorithm, you must grow an audience that believes in every piece of content you create. This starts with slowly cultivating a real community.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t believe me? Peep the stats from State of Social Trends<\/a> below:<\/p>\n 64% <\/strong>of companies have dedicated community managers <\/p>\n 85% <\/strong>of marketers agree that building an active online community is crucial to a successful social media strategy <\/p>\n 93%<\/strong> of marketers are maintaining or increasing their investment in community in 2025 <\/p>\n Ultimately, audience building goes a long way in establishing trust and long-term loyalty. If you\u2019re not invested in the people who make your brand successful, they won\u2019t be invested in what it offers.<\/p>\n Search isn\u2019t dead, it\u2019s just gotten more social.<\/p>\n When you embark on the research phase of building out a social media marketing strategy (more on this later), you should consider two things: 1)<\/strong> how your brand is showing up in social media search results and 2) <\/strong>how you can leverage social search to get the answers you need, to make your social media marketing campaigns stronger.<\/p>\n State of Social Trends<\/a> uncovered that 89% <\/strong>of marketers agree that optimizing content for on-platform search is important to their social strategy. Plus, 84%<\/strong> of marketers agree that consumers will search for brands on social media this year.<\/p>\n If anything, these numbers should reinforce that social search isn\u2019t just an alternative to traditional search engines; it\u2019s just an essential element to understanding how folks perceive your brand\u2019s offerings and how they rank against others.<\/p>\n I hate to break this to you, but \u2026 your next social media campaign strategy cannot prioritize only one content type. No more image-only feeds or motivational posts with curated cursive copy. Ditch \u2018em.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s the data from HubSpot\u2019s 2025 State of Marketing Report<\/a> to underscore my strongly written plea for content variety:<\/p>\n 30% <\/strong>of B2C companies are leveraging short-form video, 22%<\/strong> are amplifying live-streamed video content, while 21%<\/strong> are leveraging user-generated content (UGC) and 20%<\/strong> are leveraging blog posts, <\/p>\n 23%<\/strong> of marketers plan to invest in relatable content in 2025. <\/p>\n 23% <\/strong>of marketers also plan to invest in funny content this year. <\/p>\n 18%<\/strong> of marketers plan to invest in authentic content in 2025, too. <\/p>\n Clearly, audiences are asking for personalized content and to see a brand\u2019s true colors. Therefore, brands and social media marketers should give them what they want. Otherwise, they risk getting left behind (and losing some crazy ROI).<\/p>\n Lastly, if you\u2019re not leveraging AI in your social media strategy, you\u2019re seriously missing out on ways to scale and streamline your social marketing campaign efforts. HubSpot\u2019s State of Social Trends Report<\/a> shared the following stats about how marketers are bringing in AI to enhance content creation and performance:<\/p>\n 1 in 5 marketers<\/strong> plan to explore using AI agents to automate marketing initiatives from end-to-end strategy to execution. <\/p>\n 75% <\/strong>of marketers agree that using AI helps them be more creative when making social media content. <\/p>\n 71% <\/strong>of marketers actively use AI tools in social media marketing. <\/p>\n 77% <\/strong>of marketers agree that AI will make it easier for them to connect with their audience on social media. <\/p>\n <\/a> <\/p>\n There are so many ways to create a successful social media marketing campaign. Of course, your plans will vary based on industry, social media platform, and campaign type. Still, no matter how niche your brand is or what audiences you\u2019re hoping to convert, never underestimate the power of taking it back to the basics.<\/p>\n That said, here are a few foundational tips I suggest keeping in your back pocket to guide the creation of your next social media marketing campaign:<\/p>\n\n In the planning stages of your social media marketing campaign, you have to consider your competition. It\u2019s non-negotiable.<\/p>\n When it comes to outshining your competitors on social, I follow one philosophy: what you\u2019re doing is no better than what they\u2019re doing until you do some deep diving to understand what\u2019s oversaturated and what\u2019s actually<\/em> resonating.<\/p>\n Start with completing a SWOT analysis<\/a>, then do some lurking on social (Reddit and TikTok will likely have the honest perceptions you\u2019re looking for), then, finally ask yourself the following questions:<\/p>\n Which companies are similar to yours and already have successful social media accounts?<\/em> By taking a step back and asking yourself these questions, you can determine how to make your campaign unique. But don\u2019t stop there. Look for inspiration elsewhere, too.<\/p>\n If your competition isn\u2019t on social media, you\u2019re not a fan of their previous campaign style, or you have an exceptionally special business, look for other campaigns that inspire you and determine how you can apply elements such as a similar style, level of engagement, aesthetic, or a specific message to your campaign.<\/p>\n Next, you\u2019ll want to craft your campaign strategy. To determine your campaign strategy goals, you should work with data \u2026 not just any data, though. The data you\u2019ll want to use should come from the following steps:<\/p>\n Think about these questions:<\/p>\n Who are you trying to reach?<\/em> Ensuring your content and messaging appeal to your target audience should always be your top priority. In fact, it\u2019s a vital rule while developing your social media marketing campaign.<\/p>\n Never forget who you are trying to connect with and why<\/em>. If you miss the mark, your audience won\u2019t just notice, they\u2019ll scroll right by your social posts and lose interest in your campaign altogether.<\/p>\n Here are some ways to appeal to your target audience on social media:<\/p>\n Consider the trends that are resonating with audience across platforms.<\/strong> Ask yourself: What do people want to view these days? What have you seen doing well on other timelines? Think about what you see (and love to interact with) on your own timeline and adapt it to suit your brand\u2019s voice on social. <\/p>\n Create compelling visual content that feels authentic and engaging.<\/strong> Whether it\u2019s a video on TikTok or a carousel on Instagram, make sure your visual content is compelling and interactive. Give your audience something they haven\u2019t seen before, or add your own spin to something that\u2019s doing well on folks\u2019 timelines. <\/p>\n Make your audience feel seen.<\/strong> If your followers leave questions, comments, or concerns on your posts, you should respond (\u2018cause duh). By doing so, you\u2019ll form a personal bond with your audience, making them more loyal to you and your brand. <\/p>\n Remember what I said earlier about social media marketing becoming increasingly reliant on multi-content execution? At this stage of cultivating your social media marketing campaign, you should start zeroing in on the types of content you\u2019ll need to create.<\/p>\n To determine your content types, you have to first consider the why<\/em> behind your campaign creation. Here are some traditional instances in which your brand and\/or company might create a social media marketing campaign:<\/p>\n Holidays<\/strong> <\/p>\n Special occasions<\/strong> or milestones<\/strong><\/p>\n Partnerships<\/strong> with other businesses <\/p>\n User-generated content<\/strong> (UGC) promotions <\/p>\n Contests<\/strong> or giveaways<\/strong><\/p>\n Then, consider which content type should be used on what platform. For example, if your campaign uses a lot of still photography, Instagram might be the platform for you. If your campaign requires live streaming and want to share longer videos, TikTok might be a good option. And if you want to release shorter bursts of information, Threads or Bluesky could be a good fit. Think about what each platform is best for and go from there.<\/p>\n Pro tip: <\/strong>One of the best use cases for AI is repurposing your existing content into other formats while keeping a cohesive voice and message.<\/p>\n Personally, I think HubSpot\u2019s Campaign Assistant<\/a> is great for reusing and recycling content. It allows you to input your key messaging and CTA, then creates coordinating Instagram, Facebook, and Google ad copy without the heavy lifting (aka rewriting the same thing over and over across platforms).<\/p>\n No matter why you\u2019re creating your campaign, you\u2019ll probably be interested in knowing your campaign\u2019s level of success. But to make any conclusions about your success, you\u2019ll need metrics to measure and monitor throughout your campaign.<\/p>\n A popular way to do this is through a metric tracker such as Google Analytics<\/a> or HubSpot\u2019s social monitoring and metric tracking<\/a> tool. This type of concrete data will provide you with information like:<\/p>\n Overall campaign traffic<\/strong>. Now it\u2019s time to start sharing your campaign and promoting your content. Check out some of the following techniques for promoting and sharing your content (I included some examples, too):<\/p>\n You should start by promoting one message on multiple platforms using content that fits the chosen platform. By consistently sharing the same message across your campaign, your followers will hear the same information repeatedly, allowing them to retain your message.<\/p>\n Marketing campaigns have proven that messages are most effective when repeated. Repetition results in familiarity, which fosters trust between your audience and your message, brand, and product. Redundant messages stick.<\/p>\n Your followers will<\/em> notice if you\u2019re constantly pushing promotional content on them. By balancing promotional and non-promotional content, your followers will perceive you as helpful and want to engage with you more.<\/p>\n In short, this is about your followers not feeling pressured or pushed into becoming a customer (because no one wants to be pressured into a sale, y\u2019all). You will be most effective if you provide your followers with promotional content balanced with content they find enjoyable, like funny or light-hearted UGC.<\/p>\n Create an aesthetic for your campaign that matches your brand. Now, you want this to be unique. Anyone who lands on your page should know<\/em> it\u2019s yours without reading your profile handle.<\/p>\n When I think about aesthetic done right, I immediately picture Rhode Skin<\/a>, Hailey Bieber\u2019s \u201cclean girl\u201d skincare and makeup brand.<\/p>\n Rhode does visually-pleasing content exceptionally well. From curated color palettes to soft, dreamy concepts, Rhode creates Pinterest girly-inspired content with a twist. 99% of the time, that \u201ctwist\u201d is always a surprise.<\/p>\n Sometimes, the twist is food marketing; other times, it\u2019s a contemporary 80s glam revival. Audiences never know what\u2019ll come next, and that\u2019s the fun part. Scroll through the screenshots below to see what I mean:<\/p>\n\n Source<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n Source<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n My point is this: being unique and authentic helps you stand out. It also gives people a reason to want to follow you over your competitors. Regardless of how you choose to stylize your content, it needs to feel cohesive, fun, and connected back to your brand\u2019s offerings.<\/p>\n Say it with me now: No matter how many followers your brand may have, you should always set aside time to nurture your online audience. This means:<\/p>\n Answering<\/strong> direct messages (DMs). <\/p>\n \u201cLiking\u201d <\/strong>comments. <\/p>\n Responding<\/strong> to feedback (even if it\u2019s unkind). <\/p>\n Engaging with your followers, even in small ways, signals that you care about them beyond vanity metrics; that they\u2019re not another number. Moreover, you cultivate relationships and experiences that keep followers invested in your brand by showing up for them consistently.<\/p>\n All major social media campaigns should have a hashtag that should be the same across social platforms; here\u2019s why:<\/p>\n Hashtags<\/strong> allow your team members to keep track of interactions<\/strong>. <\/p>\n Hashtags <\/strong>make it easy for your followers to engage with your campaign<\/strong>. <\/p>\n Hashtags<\/strong> are unique and memorable<\/strong>. <\/p>\n For example, Black-owned and Gen Z consumer-focused skincare and beauty brand, Topicals<\/a>, has a newly-launched (but already buzzworthy) social media campaign called Faded Fortune. Faded Fortune may have been born through social, but its success is connected to IRL, one-night-only brand experiences, thus\u00a0its impact extends beyond the digital space.<\/p>\n\n Source<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n Additionally, Topicals\u2019 campaign hashtag for Faded Fortune is, fittingly, \u201c#FadedFortune.\u201d It\u2019s straightforward, simple to remember, and deeply connected to the brand\u2019s in-person activations \u2014 as well as the guaranteed high-energy fun that consumers can expect from attending.<\/p>\n Additionally, Faded \u2014 a skincare serum and facial cleansing bar designed to brighten acne scarring \u2014 is one of Topicals\u2019 core product offerings, so this campaign directly links the concept back to what they sell, grounding consumers in their brand narrative and a niche product-focused experience.<\/p>\n\n Source<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n Although creating engaging content and interacting with your followers may be time-consuming, there is a way to schedule your campaign posts ahead of time. (And, if I\u2019m being totally honest, every social media marketing person is doing some<\/em> form of pre-scheduling anyway. It\u2019s part of the workflow.)<\/p>\n Tools such as Hootsuite<\/a>, Sprout Social<\/a>, and CoSchedule<\/a> allow marketers to schedule posts with text, photos, videos, hashtags, and more. Plus, some of these scheduling tools \u2014 like HubSpot\u2019s Social Media Management Software<\/a> \u2014 contain analytics features to help users determine which scheduled posts are doing well and which posts need to be modified.<\/p>\n HubSpot\u2019s 2025 State of Marketing Report<\/a> highlighted that 21% of B2C brands<\/strong> are leveraging live streaming as a part of their content strategy. With live streaming, audience members can watch content in real-time from anywhere around the world, which creates a golden opportunity for brands to expand their reach to new countries, demographics, and customer segments.<\/p>\n TikTok Live<\/a> is one of the most popular ways to stream live content, followed by other platforms such as Instagram and YouTube. You can use live streaming to demo products for your followers, conduct giveaways and contests, interview guests and influencers<\/a>, or simply make customers feel personally connected to your brand.<\/p>\n Ultimately, the way you promote your content is your decision, but don\u2019t forget to test and analyze your results. By keeping a close eye on your performance, you’ll know if any immediate changes can or should be modified while the stream is still live. Additionally, you can also apply your findings to future campaigns.<\/p>\n <\/a> <\/p>\n Here\u2019s the thing: there\u2019s no \u201cright\u201d or \u201cwrong\u201d way to run a social media marketing campaign. And I\u2019m not here to convince you otherwise. Every brand\u2019s goals are different, so every campaign will inevitably look a little different, too.<\/p>\n However, when you are<\/em> running one, there\u2019s a few standard building blocks that you have to prioritize from the very beginning; not all of them aren\u2019t even explicitly responsible for strengthening your social media presence either. Instead, they exist in the backdrop of your overall digital strategy.<\/p>\n To provide more context and help you get a better grasp on these social media marketing campaign do\u2019s, take a look at the list of foundation tips I put together below:<\/p>\n\n Although your social media marketing campaign may be focused on other KPIs, improving brand awareness should always be a core pillar of your social strategy. In fact, HubSpot\u2019s 2025 State of Marketing Report<\/a> noted that 13% of marketers <\/strong>plan to invest in brand awareness for the first time in 2025,<\/span> so there\u2019s no better time to lean into authenticity and purpose-driven messaging than right now. It\u2019s never too late.<\/p>\n Your brand can improve brand awareness through social media in a variety of ways, such as:<\/p>\n Posting your campaigns on a variety of platforms<\/strong> (hello cross-posting!). Providing followers with incentives<\/strong> for sharing your content and tagging their friends (i.e., choosing a lucky follower to receive a goodie box of products). <\/p>\n Posting a customer\u2019s UGC<\/strong> on your feed or story. <\/p>\n Improving your brand awareness through social media doesn\u2019t need to take a lot of time either. Once you have a plan for your campaign, you will be able to map out exactly where and when it should be posted to keep things efficient. It\u2019s that simple.<\/p>\n Connecting with your audience is important in all types of marketing, especially in social media marketing.<\/p>\n In a world with growing distractions and diminishing patience, effective marketing tactics matter more important than ever. The good news, though? Social media has made it easier to connect with potential customers anywhere around the world.<\/p>\n When working on a social media marketing campaign, you want to connect with your audience in two ways: 1) <\/strong>on a surface level \u2014 through a reshare, repost, comment, or a \u201clike\u201d \u2014 and 2)<\/strong> on a deeper level \u2014 through a relatable post that gets them feeling a certain way about your brand or products.<\/p>\n Once you make customers feel seen, they\u2019ll keep coming back.<\/p>\n You probably already know this, but social media marketing is a great way to boost website traffic.<\/p>\n On social, customers have little patience and lose interest quickly. By including a URL to your brand\u2019s website (and other social channels) in your bio, you:<\/p>\n Guide curious scrollers<\/strong> right to your most valuable digital touch points. <\/p>\n Increase the likelihood that potential customers engage with your product or service<\/strong> in ways that feel most accessible for them. <\/p>\n Reinforce brand credibility <\/strong>by making it easy for users to find consistent, up-to-date information about your brand. <\/p>\n Here\u2019s some other quick-win suggestions for increasing website traffic and visibility through your social media marketing strategy:<\/p>\n Your campaign team can respond to followers on social with URLs to specific landing pages on your website.<\/strong> Whether it\u2019s a product page, blog post, or FAQ, providing relevant URLs in conversation shows you\u2019re listening \u2014 and it\u2019s a subtle yet powerful way to guide users toward conversion. <\/p>\n Add a website or landing page URL to your actual post on social media. <\/strong>Don\u2019t just rely on your bio link. Including a clickable link in your actual post (where platforms allow) helps followers take immediate action. A well-placed URL removes friction and directs people exactly where you want them to go. <\/p>\n Include a strong call-to-action (CTA) in your captions that encourages followers to click through to your website. <\/strong>A strong call-to-action, like \u201cLearn more on our site,\u201d \u201cShop the collection,\u201d or \u201cGet the full story,\u201d can increase click-through rates while making your post feel purposeful and actionable. <\/p>\n Now that I\u2019ve have reviewed some of the most successful ways to make your social media marketing campaign stronger, let\u2019s dive into some of the best and brightest social media marketing campaign examples.<\/p>\n <\/a> <\/p>\n Dynamic poses. Life-size products. Heels with socks. If Rhode Skin<\/a> knows how to do one thing right, it\u2019s curating a vibe through social media marketing.<\/p>\n\n Source<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n I know I briefly mentioned Rhode Skin, but I\u2019d like to mention it again, especially if I\u2019m going to talk about a masterful social media campaign. Rhode Skin\u2019s peptide lip shape campaign, without a doubt, was one of the most talked about beauty campaigns of 2025<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n Source<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n Starring the brand\u2019s founder, Hailey Bieber, and recently-dubbed pop girl sensation Tate Mcrae, along with several other Rhode dreamgirls, the peptide lip shape campaign hit timelines in late January 2025 and left both Rhode evangelists and folks who were new to the brand pretty floored.<\/p>\n The result? Absolute fanfare takeover for the campaign across Rhode\u2019s hero platforms \u2014 TikTok and Instagram \u2014 plus tons of UGC, some good, some bad, some neutral.<\/p>\n It\u2019s important that I note that the response to Rhode\u2019s peptide lip shape collection wasn\u2019t all <\/em>peaches and cream. A chunk of consumers \u2014 primarily women of color \u2014 had a lot to say about how the product was meant to be used; some felt confused by its longevity and wear.<\/p>\n Nevertheless, people showed up for Rhode. Here are what I think folks can take away from Rhode\u2019s social media marketing campaign:<\/p>\n Don\u2019t be afraid to get literal with your social media marketing strategy.<\/strong> Rhode\u2019s fitness-themed campaign aligns perfectly with the \u201cshape\u201d part of its collection name \u2014 Peptide Lip Shape. From gym-inspired visuals to cool girl athleisure aesthetics, they leaned into the theme and had fun with it. Literal doesn\u2019t have to mean boring \u2014 it can actually create a clever, memorable through-line that audiences instantly connect with. <\/p>\n If you can, put your founder front and center. <\/strong>One thing that Rhode\u2019s customers always anticipate is that Hailey Bieber, its founder, will be at the front and center of its promotional campaigns. By establishing Hailey as a recognizable and consistent brand figurehead, Rhode strengthens brand familiarity and trust. Her presence adds star power, but more importantly, it humanizes the brand and gives audiences someone to follow, not just something to buy. <\/p>\n Show your audience that you not only have range, but that you listen and don\u2019t judge. <\/strong>After receiving backlash for not being diverse enough in its inaugural blush collection launch<\/a>, Rhode was intentional about showcasing women with different skin tones \u2014 from fair to deep \u2014 in the rollout for this campaign. This visual inclusivity showed that Rhode was not only listening but also evolving. It made the brand feel more thoughtful, expansive, and aligned with a broader audience \u2014 a smart move that resonated across social channels. <\/p>\n
