“Video content across the board is the trend to get on if you haven’t already because what we’re seeing is that if an account is not doing any video the reach that you have in your organic content is very low. And even just posting one reel per week, or getting on stories twice in seven days, will boost your account.” Emma Tessler

“I think that your organic marketing is your baseline, it has to be the standard that you always come back to. If you’re driving all this traffic back to a platform that isn’t built up, and that really doesn’t have content that is connecting with the people who are finding it, then it’s all going to be for waste. It won’t actually convert anything for you.” – Emma Tessler
