Brand strategy isn’t just message; it’s the medium through which that message is communicated. Honey works with content creators who act as ambassadors to deliver messaging through social media. “Some act as media outlets, some as product review platforms, and others as platforms for change,” says Honey CEO Meghan Phillips. The demand for video on platforms like TikTok and YouTube, she believes, reflects our need for human connection and a growing demand for more “unfiltered” content. Consumers today want more to the story, she says. “And I think that kind of transparency will only become more critical. It truly makes a connection with people.” 🎧 🔉 Learn how small, boutique agencies like Honey, Yellow Brick Media Group, Inc. and CHANNEL develop authentic messaging for their clients when you listen to the full article written and read by Robin Doublas.
