Facebook makes changes to their platform almost everyday it seems. Between the newsfeed algorithm, advertising rules, new features and user interaction, keeping up with what’s new on Facebook alone can seem like a chore. And that’s only one social media platform. That’s why we brought in Jayna Wilcox for this episode. Jayna travels around the country and keeps all of the Hubbard Radio markets in the loop and up to speed with the latest social media news. In this episode she dishes out the latest for Facebook advertising, Instagram stories & features, and chatbots.

Netflix and Hulu both recently released documentaries on the same subject: Fyre Festival and its creator, Billy McFarland. They each tell the story differently and are fascinating to watch. Fyre Festival was marketed so well with video and flashy photos along with big-name social media influencers and models like Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid, Emily Ratajkowski and more. People bought tickets to this one-of-a-kind music festival and expected to have the time of their lives. But in the end the whole thing fell apart and was a big, public flop.

In this episode we talk about the marketing of Fyre Festival and how they were able to make the marketing a success and build such a buzz around the event. We also discuss what went wrong and try to take a few lessons away on community management and influencer marketing.

How does a marketing agency market themselves? On this podcast we talk to a variety of business owners and marketers, and offer advice and hear what works and doesn’t work for them. But in this episode we reveal what we at Hubbard Interactive do for marketing our own products. We are gearing up for our next Hubbard Digital Academy and are putting a lot of thought and effort into that promotion, so this episode is all about the tactics we are utilizing to get the word out about our conference in June.
