So I was spoke at an automotive event, and it reminded me of some work that I did with my team over the holidays. We gathered some examples of what various car dealerships have been doing on their social channels, and I added comment in the style of my book, Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook. Today I decided to re-release the case studies in a new format specifically for 際際滷share! Whether you're in the automotive industry or not, these critiques should provide some substantial value to anybody looking to improve the quality of their social content.

Good creative. Looks native to the
platform, and doesnt have any overt
branding or logos.

Always good to have lots of #hashtags, but I doubt
anybody is clicking through #GreenwoodVillage
to discover more content.

If youre advertising hot chocolate, its probably best to show
what youre talking about. This copy has zero relation to the
image, which I find to be seriously confusing.

Hit up something like

actually customize the
image text.

The use of native text written on the
windscreen is something EVERYBODY
should be trying on Instagram.

Why no copy to go along with the image?
This is your chance to be really straightforward
with a buy CTA.

Again, like our first example, this has a great
volume of hashtags, but some of them are too
narrow to get you any discovery.

There is way too much
copy on the actual event.
The only CTA is buried at
the end of it way past the
point where any normal
person would have
stopped reading.

Speaking of the CTA, you
know Facebook events
have an RSVP function,
right?

Asking people to email
you is another level of
friction that will lose your
audience.
