New to Arb!

Hello all! I’m joining Arboretum as a newly minted Social Media Specialist for Concordia University Irvine in Southern California. Not only have I just moved to SoCal, I have never officially had the role of social media manager before. I think I have a lot to learn, but so far I feel like this job is a great fit. I’m getting involved with Arboretum because I use Sprout frequently throughout the day and it’s great to have a group of people who are up to date on the same topics/issues/news as me. Thanks in advance for your support and advice!

Community Spotlight: Joel Primack ✨Arboretum Spotlight

Join us in celebrating Joel Primack, July’s Arboretum Spotlight!Joel Primack (@joel.primack) is a Community Consultant, podcast co-host and ex-Lattice Community Specialist.💡 Fun fact: I've never had a drop of coffee in my life. 🔧 Recent project: In April 2023, I officially became a paid content creator in the B2B space when I worked with the Talkbase team as a guest writer. Long-form writing isn't my strength, so it was a great experience to challenge myself and grow professionally. Thankfully, we agreed on a topic that I was passionate about, so it wasn't too challenging for me to write about. The post is How to Structure Community OKRs and Why They're Needed, and I included 4 examples for common types of communities found in B2B tech/SaaS. I'm excited to continue creating independently via my LinkedIn, by hosting my podcast (The Community-Led Growth Show), and in partnership with B2B companies.🔍 Favorite social account: Organization: DEMAND Community's LinkedIn page and person: De

Billing Clients for Social Ads

Hello!I am curious how you all handle billing for clients for their Social Ad Spend?  Currently we handle a large volume of ad accounts and Meta’s billing does not track per account, it’s a blanketed lump sum charge across all accounts. Any insight is helpful. 😊 Thank you!

Brands We Should Be Watching

Of course there are the Nikes, The Wendy’s, The Oreos, and the Legos out there, but what other brands are you watching that are maybe succeeding in silence and about to come on the scene? Curious to know who you’re following and why? Who do you think is making waves in the social space that we should be taking notes from? A couple of mine:While not a small brand, I love following the NFL from a real time coverage, ability to pull your audience into an event even if they are at home on their couch perspective. What they did last night by testing the “channels” feature on IG to keep people involved in the draft was very cool to see - I haven’t seen too many brands try and activate in that space yet.
