Back in 2015, while working as the marketing guy for a personal injury law firm in downtown Los Angeles, I stumbled upon a formula for creating viral Facebook posts that not only attracted massive attention but also avoided the traps that brands often fall into today.
Youโve seen it happenโsomeone posts something controversial, and suddenly, theyโre identified as part of one side of a heated debate. The people engaging with the post align with the opposing side, and the conversation spirals into negativity.
But the post I crafted for the firm didnโt suffer that fate. Instead, we stayed completely neutral. While opposing sides argued passionately in the comments, the law firm stayed on the sidelinesโour role was just to facilitate the conversation. The engagement skyrocketed, and the post gained massive visibility.
Fast forward to todayโIโm still using the same formula. Itโs all about sparking meaningful discussion without taking sides. When done right, your brand can capture attention and become the center of a viral moment, without becoming the target of negativity.
Now the question isโฆ should I tell you what the post was about? ๐
