Hope We Don’t Jinx It
Last week was stressful, y’all. Thankfully, this week was a little more relaxed in terms of updates in the social media world. Deep breaths—we’ve got this. Probably.
Here’s What’s New in Social
So, no new platforms launched last week, which is cool! There were still some pretty important updates that happened, from technical changes in-platform to growing legal concerns. Check ’em out.
- Threads user count climbed to over 100 million last week. Are you on it? What are your thoughts so far?
- Speaking of Threads, here’s when you can expect them to include ads. When this happens, should you use it right away? Here’s a pro: you’ll probably get really cheap reach. Here’s a con: you might struggle to identify your audience right out of the gate. Another con: you’ll probably have to use Meta’s Business Suite to access it, and that just sounds awful.
- This is kinda big for social media managers: you can soon download your own TikToks without a watermark! This will make crossposting to Reels and Shorts so much easier and allows you to use TikTok as an editing tool.
- Here’s a really cool UGC campaign from Jack Appleby and Future Social.
- Whoops: Twitter’s getting sued for unpaid severance. That’s messy.

Check Out the New Digs
In case you missed it (no hard feelings), we moved into our new studio space earlier this year. It’s been a game-changer for us and Greenville’s film and content community. Inside sits a 33×18 foot LED Wall in a 3,000-square-foot soundstage, an amazing new space for agencies and filmmakers to bring almost any creative vision to life through virtual production. It’s also got three 500-square-foot content recording spaces, which are great for talking heads, social content, podcasts, online courses, photoshoots, and more.
Get Better at Social
We know how hard it can be to run an effective social media presence with a smaller team. Heck, we’ve had to figure this out ourselves. Once we started growing, we realized that we really wish we had someone to tell us the right way to do things. Better yet, it would’ve been great to grow alongside similar teams going through the same struggles. We created a group to do just that through monthly educational sessions. Check it out below.
