And so I used that opportunity to try doing short form video, and we were able to really see is video something that works for Candid." - Kate Emery Meyers"What we decided to do with a lot of this content was just look broadly at what people liked to already see from Candid. So we were looking at what are evergreen content pieces, what is our top blog post, what's our top help resource, what is our top YouTube video? And we took a lot of inspiration from that. So we were repurposing a lot of content that we already knew was successful in other formats." - Kate Emery Meyers"You cannot just look at something like TikTok or Instagram reels and say, it's not for me, or, oh, this is going to be great, until you do it.""Think about what might draw people to you. So which accounts did you already have sort of in the social media space? And which ones did you create for this experiment? - Julia Campbell"I just talked to a client yesterday and she is struggling with getting her executive director on board with getting on TikTok. Because the executive director is not on TikTok, they don't understand the value of it. And it's really hard to show it without just doing it. You just got to get on board."Take my free masterclass: 3 Must-Have Elements of Social Media Content that Converts
