Curious about why we prioritize gifted UGC deals before offering paid ones? Here’s why. User-Generated Content (UGC) is a relatively new role in the social media landscape, and there’s no standard way to secure paid brand deals. As an agency, we value UGC creators who are willing to truly collaborate. We often begin with gifted collaborations. This isn’t because brands don’t have budgets; it’s because they want to see the quality of content you create before investing in ongoing services. Authenticity matters—we need to see that you genuinely care about your content, not just producing another unboxing video. Some UGC creators immediately get paid deals due to high engagement and larger followings. However, for those still growing their presence, gifted collaborations are essential. They often lead to paid opportunities. #ugc #usergeneratedcontent #giftedcollaborations #branddeals

Do you work in digital? AI is not going to replace you. Clarification: AI is not going to replace you if you're good at your job and learn how to integrate the technology into your work. AI is this generation's version of the calculator. You still need to press the buttons if you want the answer to an equation. You can't just expect the calculator to read your mind and give you the correct answer. Human thought and understanding of behavioural data are crucial in any successful social media strategy. For those in the #MonarchCommunity who are interfacing with #artificialintelligence, what's your favourite AI software? Let us know in the comments below 👇

If you want to work in social media, keep reading. This industry is not for everyone. What seems simple and somewhat glamours, is actually very focused and detailed work with very little appreciation or recognition. Or at least, that's how it's been up until now. We're lucky to work with clients that not only appreciate our work, but respect the time and effort we put into creating results for them. If you're thinking of pursing a career in social media, don't make the costly mistake of thinking you need to go to University first and get a degree. Universities can't update course information fast enough. Social media changes daily. You need to learn how to seek out free education, put the theory into practice and embrace the concept of life-long learning. Social media platforms will always change, and the only way to sustain a career in this industry is to embrace those changes with an attitude of optimism and curiosity. If you apply for a job at Monarch and we see you have a social media degree from a University, we'll skip past your resume. Why? Because you're showing us you don't have the skill of resourcefulness and the ability to self-educate. For the #SocialMedia professionals in our community, what's the best free course you've taken online for your job? Let us know in the comments.

The internet changes fast. Two years ago, AI was a term used in science fiction films and television. Now, it's everywhere and actively being integrated into everything we do. Even this post was crafted with the help of AI software, saving us $$$ on video editing costs. It's hard to predict what's going to happen next online, but if we had to make one guess as we move into Web 3, it would be this: Personalization within the virtual space of e-commerce is going to be the name of the game as we move into the spatial version of the internet.

At Monarch, we take client education very seriously. We collaborate with a team of digital marketing experts to help our clients succeed online. So many business owners get frustrated when they aren't seeing an increase in search results from social media, even though they're investing a lot of time and money. The first thing we ask is "tell me about your website - how is it structured, what keywords are you targeting, and how strong is your online authority?" In other words; what have you done from an SEO perspective. That foundation is so important for search engine optimization (SEO). Social media can help too, but there's much more you need to do under the hood if you want people to find you easily online. SEO is different than social media management. It takes work like researching keywords, analyzing competitors, optimizing pages and content for search engines, improving technical aspects, building quality backlinks, and focusing on the user experience. #SEOExperts, if you had one tip for business owners who want to rank higher in Google and other search engines, what would it be? Feel free to share your helpful SEO advice in the comments! #rankhigherongoogle #seoforbusiness

Should LinkedIn be your only managed platform if you're a B2B business?

If you think LinkedIn is the only place you should be posting because that's where your target customer is spending time, think again. Don't get us wrong, if you're a B2B based business, LinkedIN should be your primary platform. However - it shouldn't be the sole focus for your social media strategy. The average social media user is active on at least six platforms. So, while they may scroll past your Instagram reel, it still counts as an impression. For those of you who have been following us for a while, you know that every impression counts towards increased brand awareness and recognition. Plus, it just looks more credible when a brand/business has all of their social media platforms claimed with an actively managed presence.
