Cerebra

It's sometimes tricky to keep up with the sizing conventions on the different social networks. How big is a profile pic vs an avatar? How much of my content will actually be seen? How should I design a Twitter background etc etc.

Never fear! In the interests of reducing stress levels and making all community managers smile, the Cerebra team have produced a social media cheat sheet for Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.

It has all the pic, avatar and background sizes as well as associated text limitations. Print it, stick it on your wall and smile :)

You're welcome.

Last week, Twitter wished me a happy 4th birthday. 4! That’s like 100 in social media year’s right? It was this 140-character message that made me realise that in social media years, I am getting old. If I’m already four in Twitter years, then surely my Facebook profile must be reaching its retirement age?

As the saying goes, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. But being a typical generation Y gal, I thrive on all things new, fresh and exciting and therefore decided it was time to scope out a batch of new social media platforms to play around on. I’m not saying goodbye to the original Big 5 (according to socialbaker.com Facebook, Twitter, Google +, Linkedin, Pinterest are the most popular social networking sites) I’m just suggesting we see what else is out there.

It’s done wonders for Justin Bieber, connected David Guetta with new fans worldwide and helped launch the careers of many struggling artists.

This “thing” I speak of is not something available to a select few. If anything, it’s free and accessible to anyone. It’s the Internet

While video may have killed the radio star the Internet gave birth to a whole new generation of cyber stars who have successfully launched and continue to promote, share and sell their music online.
So if all clicks lead to the digital platform why are so many musicians still struggling to get it right?

A Q&A between (Head of ORM) and (Head of Strategy)

1. What exactly does ORM stand for?

• Online Reputation Management

2. That’s nice, but what does it mean and what does it actually do?

• The ORM process lets you listen to the thousands of conversations happening online, measure sentiment - which affects reputation and lets you take a look at the people who mention your brand. It's like stalking on steroids. And with pie charts.
• It let’s you know what your brand looks like online, and what you can do to change or maintain that.
