"What I love about Threads is because it's connected to Instagram, you're able to still build off your Instagram presence, but it's another way to really share text-heavy content." On Threads: "You get those early adoptive benefits, but also you can fail early in some cases." "As a marketer, I think it's important to understand what the platforms care about so you can start creating content that leans into that." "I think most brands should be creator-first and think about those relationships."
