Bob Ross used to label a mistake as a "Happy little accident." It was the first thing I thought of when reading about a new typeface that was recently released. The headline celebrated where a “Mistake Is Turned Into a Design Detail.”

The average social media influencer has an engagement rate between 1-6% (1% being the low end).

Interestingly many influencers with over 100k followers have lower engagement rates than those with a smaller following (10k-20k).

It’s pretty well understood by now that brand communities (which include influencer partnerships) have a positive effect on customers. So when brands work with groups of influencers regardless of their following size, we increase brand awareness, trust, and loyalty.

It’s pretty well understood by now that brand communities (which include influencer partnerships) have a positive effect on customers. So when brands work with groups of influencers regardless of their following size we increase brand awareness, trust, and loyalty.

Loyalty is interesting, though. Many studies actually show that Influencers with a smaller following actually have more LOYAL followers than those with a much larger following. Why is that?

When engaging with influencers with smaller following, you’re most likely talking to the actual person that’s running the account, they are engaging back directly with you - you feel heard, respected, and feel like your relationship is “real” - so you stick around and engage more and more consistently - this leads to increased trust and so on.

So don’t discount influencers with smaller followings. They may have a more loyal community - which could lead to more REAL customers for you!

As the real world and the imaginary world come closer together -- see this report on NBC Nightly News to have your mind blown -- we liked the look of this application and thought, what a great additional dimension to spaces.

What if you had a wall that customers interacted with? Pretty cool.

It’s only a matter of time…

Instagram is currently working on developing it own native scheduling tool. This means that soon we will be able to schedule posts from within the app itself (including reels and stories).

While we never suggest using third-party scheduling tools as they have the potential to be both limiting and detrimental to account growth - we are interested to see how a native scheduler may benefit our client's creation flow.

Do you currently use a third-party app to schedule your posts?

We're huge soccer fans here at Triton, and the designs we're seeing come from clubs like Racing Louisville FC, Angel City Football Club, and San Diego Wave FC, all from the National Women's Soccer League and Monty Vert, from the USL, are really fun and well done. Thought we'd share this article about the designer.

The prolific sports designer has a knack for capturing the atmosphere of a city and turning it into a fun, charismatic crest or jersey.
