So much noise: WTF does good social media look like?
from Don't quote us on this: brand, marketing and the BS in between · host Rowena Wilding & Nic Mooney
What actually makes good social media… good? And why does so much of what we’re told to do feel like shouting into the void?In Episode 8, Ro takes the mic (with strong opinions, obviously) to tear apart one of the most overused phrases in marketing: “just show up.” Because if that advice worked, we’d all be fully booked by now.Spoiler: good social media isn’t about visibility. It’s about strategy.They get into why most content doesn’t convert (even when it looks great), how social media is being completely misunderstood as a sales tool, and why your posts shouldn’t exist in isolation. Instead, it should all sit inside something much bigger… a journey that actually moves people from “who are you?” to “I need this.”There’s also a brutally honest conversation about burnout, the pressure to constantly create, and why doing less (but doing it properly) will get you further. Plus, they dig into authenticity, oversharing, and the fine line between building connection and chasing attention.If social media has started to feel heavy, noisy, or just a bit pointless… this episode will rewire how you think about it.Follow Ro on LinkedIn or InstagramFollow Nic on LinkedIn or Instagram
