8 Brands That You Need to Start Following on Social Media ASAP

Responsival’s digital marketing team offers a quick social media marketing assessment on its favorite brands

1. GoPro

Stunning photos, user-generated content, and a branded hashtag are all hallmarks of GoPro’s award-winning Instagram page. While GoPro is a camera company, you’ll notice that the physical product rarely makes an appearance on the page. Instead, viewers are treated to all of the gorgeous images they can capture with their GoPro. Not only do these high-quality lifestyle images appeal to the viewer’s sense of adventure, but they are also a testament to its durability + versatility. 

2. Glossier

Understanding the needs + interests of your target audience is key to creating content that speaks to them. Thanks to its online listening strategy + clever social media campaigns, Glossier enjoys a large cult following on its social media channels. By paying attention to what people were saying about them, they could engage with their audience while also learning more about the lifestyle + products they desired. 

3. Discovery Channel

The Discovery Channel Tik Tok page successfully follows new best practices. 

For most brands, Tik Tok is the equivalent of the Wild West. But the Discovery Channel manages to pull it off. By using popular sound bytes + following Tik Tok trends, the Discovery Channel offers a wide range of entertaining + informative content. Whether it’s a preview of a new show or a quick bite of interesting animal facts, the Discovery Channel’s Tik Toks are incredibly fun + delightful. 

4. Gymshark

When it comes to analyzing the wild success of athletic apparel brand Gymshark, two words come to mind: influencer marketing. If you scroll through their Instagram, you’ll see some of the most popular fitness influencers in the country sporting their stylish clothing. For brands like Gymshark, influencers can help them establish a sense of authenticity + authority. From time to time, Gymshark will also post workout exercises for viewers to save and try later. The occasional motivational post is also thrown in there. 

5. MailChimp

Unlike Gymshark + GoPro, MailChimp doesn’t always have the luxury of enticing prospective customers with inspirational lifestyle images accompanying their products. But it can act as a thought leader on digital marketing best practices. On LinkedIn, you can find interesting + insightful articles on digital marketing. 

Its Instagram page also features original content on MailChimp’s clients, digital marketing capabilities, and company updates. The informative content + attractive graphic design come together to create a fun + engaging page. 

6. All Birds

All Birds is another popular brand that can teach marketers a thing or two about social media marketing. In addition to its stylish + environmentally-friendly apparel, All Birds actively advocates for living a more sustainable + eco-friendly lifestyle. Throughout its social media pages, All Birds successfully maintains a balance between advertising its products + establishing itself as a leader in sustainability. 

7. Canva

Canva is another fun company that knows how to play the social media game. Its colorful + creative graphics not only show viewers everything they can do in the app, but they can also serve as inspiration for their customers’ own social media posts. 

8. Slack

Slack, a popular messaging platform for businesses, knows that its capabilities extend far past basic communication services. Since the start of the pandemic, companies have turned to apps like Slack to help workers stay connected. In response, the company continues to update + add new features to help workers adjust to their new WFH lives. Slack uses its social media accounts to showcase new features, publish company updates, and answer FAQs about the platform. 

One of the best things you can do for your social media strategy is to learn + draw inspiration from leading brands in your industry. Need help getting started? Contact the team at Responsival to start planning an award-winning strategy.
