A multitude of selfies does not make a brand, personal, or otherwise. A brand needs to be about more. Value, empathy, insight and depth.
Make sure you take the time to set-up page-specific custom Facebook audiences. Having one audience called 'all' to retarget is next to useless. Currently creating an audience for each of a client's individual case studies, then will retarget with further, relevant content.

My advice for brand using social at this time. #CoronavirusPandemic
I've been asked a lot this week how brands etc should be using social at this time. Key points in a short thread. - Aim for utter clarity of information. There's so much noise, and you need to make it easy for people to digest what what need to know. #CoronavirusPandemic
