Handy tricks to make the most of your posts By Garett Sloane

 

So many boundaries limit marketers and their social media goals. No GIFs on Facebook. No buy buttons on Pinterest. Fortunately, there are plenty of creative workarounds.

Marketers are doing whatever they can to upgrade their social media tactics, even if the platforms haven’t officially sanctioned such activities yet. They've figured out how to livestream events to Facebook, for instance, and add e-commerce to Instagram. Here's a look at five clever ways brands are hacking social media.

Why America Needs an Exit Tax

Why America Needs an Exit Tax

President Obama’s executive action on immigration will end the threat of deportation for as many as 3.7 million parents of American citizens, while also protecting about 350,000 immigrants who came to the U.S. as children.

"We had initial talks with the IAB about participating in the NewFronts, and as we got closer to the schedule being confirmed, we had more in-depth conversations about the goals of the NewFronts and IAB's vision for the event," a Facebook rep said via email.

We Now Spend More Time Staring at Phones Than TVs

Marketers think of smartphones and tablets as the “second screen,” places where people direct their attention during commercial breaks on TV. It may be time to reverse those distinctions.

At the same time, the job market is still tighter than it used to be; even before the recession, turnover was dropping. And that raises the stakes, particularly for people starting their careers
