Authenticity & Social Media

Today’s social media users crave genuine content that reflects real-life experiences. This isn’t a passing trend, it’s a fundamental change in how companies connect with their audience. You’ve probably seen the TikTok videos that show a house being restored, or someone backpacking around-the-world. That type of content is so popular!

A business has opportunities to do the same thing. Share something your company has built, created or accomplished. Real stories provide social proof, they create a sense of transparency that will resonate with your audience. People are more likely to engage with and support brands that they feel are genuine and relatable.

How to Embrace Authenticity

1. Show the Human Side: Feature real people, not just polished images. Highlight your team, customers, and the people behind the brand. Highlight your reviews!

2. Engage Authentically: Respond to comments, messages and reviews in a genuine manner. Personalize your interactions to make each person feel valued.

3. Be Consistent: Consistency in tone, style, and messaging helps build a recognizable and trustworthy brand. (This is where our brand plans come in handy!)

When people feel a genuine connection to a company, they are more likely to share their positive experiences with others, which amplifies your reach and impact. Authenticity also helps differentiate your company in a crowded market, making it stand out to potential customers.
