    B2B marketing…but make it ✨fun✨ | Social Strategist + Content Creator 👩🏻💻

    Want to start making carousels? Here are some mistakes to avoid 🙅🏻♀️ Carousels are officially 𝘪𝘯 - they’re a top-performing content format across LinkedIn, Instagram and even TikTok (!!) But…they’re also easy to get wrong. Small design choices can make the difference between a post people swipe through and one they scroll straight on past. Here are some of the most common carousel mistakes I see on this app, and how to fix them 👇 — 1️⃣ 𝗩𝗮𝗴𝘂𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 Your cover page should make it instantly clear what someone will get from reading your post. If people have to stop and guess what your carousel’s about, they’ll keep scrolling. Be specific about the takeaway and set expectations up front. (The obvious exception here is if you’re wanting to use some intrigue to get people to swipe - just make sure your copy is strong enough to grab attention!) 2️⃣ 𝗡𝗼 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗸 Even strong copy can get missed without visual support, especially in an oversaturated feed. Adding a striking image, bold shape, or clear visual cue helps your audience quickly grasp what your post is about - and gives them another reason to stop and scan. 3️⃣ 𝗣𝗼𝗼𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 If your carousel isn’t easy to read, your message gets lost. Text that’s too small, colours with low contrast, or layouts without clear hierarchy all make it harder for people to follow your ideas. Clarity should always come before aesthetics   4️⃣ 𝗡𝗼 𝗻𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱 A good carousel should feel like it’s going somewhere. Each slide needs to lead naturally to the next - that’s what builds momentum and curiosity as someone swipes through. If your carousel is rambly and lacks that narrative flow, you’re more likely to lose your audience. 5️⃣ 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝘆𝗹𝗲 Switching up your style every now and then can be fun, but if you’re adopting an entirely different aesthetic for each post you risk confusing your audience. The goal is for people to recognise you instantly in the feed before they even see your name. Keep a few core elements consistent (like colours, fonts or layout), and use imagery or tone to bring variety instead. — Which mistakes do you see most often? Lmk what I’ve missed in the comments 💬

    💡 Marketing is like an iceberg—what you see on the surface is only a fraction of the work that goes into it. At the top, everyone sees the results: ✨ Sales growth ✨ More leads ✨ Increased website traffic ✨ Growing social followers ✨ New customer acquisition But beneath the surface lies the real engine—the countless hours of planning, strategy, and execution that make those results possible. 🛠️ The Work Involved Content creation that educates, entertains, and converts. Social engagement that builds trust and community. SEO to make sure your message is discoverable. Paid advertising that reaches the right people at the right time. Email marketing to nurture relationships. Data analysis to measure, refine, and scale what works. 📊 The Strategy Layer Defining target audiences with precision. Establishing clear, measurable objectives. Crafting messaging and positioning that resonate. Choosing the most effective channels to deliver value. Budget allocation and forecasting to maximize ROI. Marketing isn’t magic—it’s a blend of creativity, analytics, and relentless execution. The “shiny results” at the top are the product of a strong foundation built beneath the surface. 👉 Next time you see a campaign succeed, remember: the iceberg runs deep. Credit: Andrew R.

    Most teams treat data like decoration. But in 2025? Data is the funnel. Growth doesn’t follow gut feelings anymore It follows metrics, insight, and AI retrieval. Here’s how the best brands turn conversations into conversions: (Backed by Brand24 Data-Driven Marketing E-Book 2025) Core Data Stages 1. Awareness – Measure What Matters Goal: Reach new people Strategy: Get discovered through data Tactics: Social listening, SEO, PR coverage Key Metrics: Mentions, Reach, Share of Voice Time Investment: High 2. Interest – Understand Audience Emotion Goal: Spark curiosity and trust Strategy: Track sentiment and engagement Tactics: Topic analysis, emotion tracking, feedback loops Key Metrics: Sentiment score, Engagement rate, Topic trends Time Investment: High Critical Growth Stages 3. Conversion – Act With Precision Goal: Turn attention into action Strategy: Personalize based on insights Tactics: A/B tests, heatmaps, user behavior data Key Metrics: Conversion rate, CPL, Drop-off points Time Investment: Moderate 4. Retention – Build Long-Term Relevance Goal: Keep customers loyal Strategy: Personalize experience continuously Tactics: Automated follow-ups, review tracking, feedback alerts Key Metrics: NPS, Churn rate, CLV Time Investment: Long-term 5. Advocacy – Optimize For AI Discovery Goal: Turn customers into amplifiers Strategy: Grow share of voice in AI search Tactics: Brand24 monitoring, UGC campaigns, LLM citations Key Metrics: Mentions, Reviews, AI visibility score Time Investment: Long-term The future of awareness isn’t just SEO, It’s AI discovery. Why It Matters Also, Semrush data shows AI Overviews now appear in ~13% of Google searches, pushing direct answers ahead of links. In other words: Search ends on the same page. Users often never click through. Visibility is shifting from rankings → retrieval. That’s why the modern marketing funnel doesn’t stop at conversion, It extends into discoverability, personalization, and AI-powered advocacy. Every stage feeds the next. Every insight compounds. And when your funnel runs on real-time data you don’t just grow visibility. You grow momentum. 📘 Brand24 presents: Data-Driven Marketing: The Complete Guide for 2025 Download free and see how the world’s most data-driven brands are winning the new funnel. https://lnkd.in/eppaQ2hP ♻️ Repost it to share with your network.

    Head of Marketing, Market Research @Semrush | Marketing Strategy, Market Research

    Campaigns don’t flop from big mistakes. They fail because of these minor ones: - No clear goal - Confused messaging - Picking the wrong channels It doesn’t look like much. But add them up, And the campaign sinks. But winning campaigns don’t reinvent the process. They follow the same steps. They just optimize each one. They start with clarity. Not multiple goals, but one goal. They define who they are talking to. Not “everyone,” but the right someone. They craft messages people remember. Not noise, but meaning. They choose channels with intent. Not multiple, but focused. They measure what matters. Not vanity, but impact. They refine. Again and again. Until it works. That’s the real difference. Not budget. Not fancy tools. Not team size. It’s strategy. Its execution. It’s refinement. The line between winning and failing is razor-thin. Failed ones ignore it. Winning ones refine it. If your campaigns are underperforming, don’t scrap them. Look closer. Fix the cracks. Refine the steps. And watch the results flip. Because a failed campaign is often just one optimization away from winning. Which step do you think makes or breaks a campaign?

    I Help B2B Businesses Build their Content Ecosystem

    CEO: "Our content doesn’t perform, it must be the design!" Me: "It could come from these 3 problems:" 1. Indeed, it could be a design issue. 2. But maybe, your copywriting isn’t relevant. 3. Or your strategy isn’t clear enough. Now to be honest, it’s rarely just a design problem. The issue often starts deeper in your marketing layers. Because here’s the truth: Design can't fix a broken piece of content. Good design can’t fix a weak strategy or bad copy. - Adding an illustration won't make your message interesting. - Nice layouts can’t turn a weak insight into a "wow effect". - Beautiful colors are NOT a "branding strategy". That said, design is the best amplifier of what's already good. CEO: “So what should I do to make our content perform better?” Me: “Take a step back, and fix these 3 key layers first:” 1. Strategy - Who exactly is your ideal customer (ICP)? - What position do you want to occupy in their mind? - What are the specific goals your content should achieve? 2. Copywriting - Does your message clearly help the reader? - Is your hook attracting and retaining attention? - Are you sharing real insights, not generic advice? 3. Design - Is your layout easy to read and visually balanced? - Can someone skim your content and still get the message? - Is the design consistent with your brand identity? (The list of questions is not exhaustive) When all three work together, your content finally performs. Follow me, Pierre Herubel, for daily marketing tips.
