Using AI in social media
Quick notes from the session (AI generated):
Here are some key takeaways from the talk about the impact of AI on social media:
- AI Integration: AI is extensively integrated into social media platforms. For instance, LinkedIn uses AI in various features like recruitment tools and collaborative articles, while Facebook and Instagram are employing AI for ads and content suggestions.
- Generative AI Focus: The discussion mainly focused on generative AI, which includes technologies like ChatGPT and image generators. These tools use large data models to produce content relevant to specific prompts.
- Ethical Concerns: There are significant concerns about biased data, copyright issues, and social manipulation with AI tools. The outputs of AI are as good as the data they are trained on, which can perpetuate biases.
- AI Tools in Practice: Various AI tools were highlighted that help with social media management and content creation, such as OpusClip for video editing and AltText.ai for generating alt text for images, enhancing accessibility.
- Future Trends: AI is expected to keep evolving, with future trends pointing towards more advanced AI integration in customer service, content repurposing, and data analysis to streamline and enhance social media engagements.
- Best Practices: It’s advised to be transparent about using AI, develop an AI policy for your organization, and keep up with AI advancements to ensure ethical use and compliance with regulations.
This talk offers a comprehensive view of how AI is reshaping the landscape of social media, highlighting both its potential benefits and the ethical considerations that need to be addressed.

Six marketing principles from the Barbie Movie if your budget doesn’t extend to hiring Margot Robbie
The Barbie marketing team have been doing a BRILLIANT job.
Pink billboard ads. Shots of the dream house the team built in Malibu. Behind-the-scenes tours with Margot Robbie and more. The team behind advertising the new Barbie Movie have been doing a BIG job, gathering their efforts behind the Barbie film, to be released on July 21st.
The attention feels impressive. Barbie had been struggling to remain relevant for quite a while. From her peak in the 90s as the unchallenged queen of the dollhouse, Barbie’s sales saw a sharp drop in the following decades – eight successive quarters of decline was reported in 2015.
Yet by 2021, the brand posted record sales of $1.7 Billion for Mattel. While 2023 started with “profits and revenue had fallen short of forecasts” it feels like momentum is gathering behind the film on social media, at the very least.
But I can’t help shake the feeling that building an entire house and having Margot Robbie showing the internet around it isn’t available to most marketers.
So, here are six principles we can take from Barbie, but applying them in a world that feels a bit closer and available to the rest of us...

Conscious creativity: Marketing without costing the earth - Jax Davey and Seb Royce, Neuvo
Conscious creativity: Creativity without costing the earth - Jax Davey and Seb Royce, Neuvo
The basics of marketing are available to us all - how to build a basic marketing strategy for small businesses, Joe Glover
If Aliens landed on planet earth and walked into a marketing conference, they would be forgiven for thinking that the only companies who engaged in marketing activity was Apple, Patagonia, Nike, and the overlord of our profession was Ryan Reynolds.
Now - I’m not saying the world wouldn’t be a better place with Ryan Reynolds in charge - he is a handsome and talented man. And undeniably these companies smash it in their own ways. But it’s a misnomer to believe that we should all be following their example.
Imagine two friends, Mary and Timmy, standing next to each other by the waterside.
As the sun sets, Timmy starts throwing pebbles into the lake - seeing the ripples spread slowly and calmly across the surface of the water.
Mary isn’t like that though - Mary summons her inner hulk and grabs a boulder, catapulting it into the water nearby. The ensuing waves engulf Timmy’s efforts making him sad inside.
Paul Dyson’s now famous study into the factors that impact ad effectiveness place ‘brand size’ squarely at the top (i.e. if you’re famous - you’re going to land with more impact). According to YouGov 99% of the UK’s businesses are SMEs. While imprecise as a measure, broadly this speaks to the idea that most of us are playing with pebbles - not boulders. Put another way - being a world famous movie actor is not hugely replicable.
Acacdotally this rings true: most marketers I chat to at The Marketing Meetup are sat alone, or in a small team on an industrial estate outside Newmarket (other market towns are available) with single glazing and a boss who sees marketing as either the selling department or crayon department. A far stride from the steel and glass of the Nike’s of the world.
So - what is at our disposal?
Well for the most part while the temptation is to want to chat about sophisticated mass marketing and the long and the short of it, just getting the fundamentals of marketing right puts us at an advantage over most of our competitors in an industry where most of us (including me at the beginning of my career) spent time pinging between tactics.
In essence, what most marketers lack is a proper strategy. But for those with minimal resources - how do we create something that allows us to create a realistic strategy that is actionable and likely to be actually used and not sit in a document? Well, hopefully, this helps…

How to write more like yourself - Amy Elliott, Lightbulb Media

How to create the bare minimum marketing strategy - Joe Glover, Co-Founder of The Marketing Meetup
Recently I was approached by a micro business about how they could market themselves.
They had little budget to pay for professionals - and it quickly became apparent they were in danger of pinging from one tactic to another.
I see the same thing play out in marketing teams across the land - particularly for those in small or solo marketing teams (I was in that camp for a long time!)
So while I wanted to bang on about 'salience', 'the long and the short of it' and much more - that wasn't their requirement.
So it got me thinking about the minimum marketing strategy I think people create to give purpose and consistency to their work.
And on Friday at 09.30, I'll share how to build it. We'll be ignoring a lot of nuances, but a little strategy is better than no strategy at all.
Is marketing evil? Now and then, someone forces us to ask
Marketing is inherently neither good nor bad, but as the general public often remind us, we should always question its purpose and how we use it.

How to smash marketing freelancing and growing your own business - Eman Ismail, Eman Copy Co
On Tuesday morning, Eman Ismail took to the virtual stage for the last of the season 9 webinars.
Eman is a freelance pro, the founder of Eman Copy Co, host of the Mistakes That Made Me podcast, and most recently, the cover star of Freelance Magazine.
The setup for Eman’s session was a guide for how to successfully smash the freelance life.What followed was an hour of practical advice, thoughtfulness, and so much positivity. Eman embodies what we value most at TMM.
Eman’s working story is impressive to say the least. Back in 2018, after a stint in-house at a charity, Eman set up shop as a pen-for-hire - a copywriting freelancer. With a 2-year old son in tow, the first few years were not easy. Eman explains how they cycled through feast and famine mode, figuring out how to make it work. Then, Covid hit, and Eman’s childcare setup went out the window. Now, in 2023, she’s a mama of 2 with a 6 figure copywriting business who enjoyed 7-8 months of self-funded maternity leave and all of the freedom and flexibility to work in a way that works for her family. How did she do it?
