Google Calendar is the first app many look at when they wake up, it’s the first website many go to when they sit down at work, and it keeps many a meeting from being missed throughout the week.
Take a Trip Down Your Phone App Memory Lane
Do you remember a time before being able to fire up some sweet apps on your phone to pass the time while you were pretending to pay attention in a meeting, or went to the bathroom, or sat through a dance recital?
How did people even survive back in 2006? It’s amazing.

Being “normal” is boring. We know that. In fact, our whole approach to our clients’ social media, videos, and other marketing initiatives is to stand out from the “normal.”
However, understanding what other businesses are doing, especially ones that are similar to yours, is an effective way of taking stock in just how healthy your social media and other marketing practices are holding up.
Which Social Media Platforms Should Your Business Be On?
It’s easy to get caught up in the hype of the latest social media platform. Take Snapchat, for example. It went from something that people used to send risqué pictures a few years ago to each other to something that the latest summer movie blockbuster is using to advertise their release dates.

Let’s take a look at some of the larger social media platforms and give a rundown on if you should be on them.
