Instead of one central handle, create multiple accounts focused on specific topics (e.g., "@LizInBaskingRidge" or "@GaryVeeTheJetsFan"). This allows for hyper-targeted content that can capture niche audiences within the "interest media" landscape, dramatically increasing potential reach.
Stop creating separate social media accounts for different content types. Modern algorithms prioritize serving individual pieces of content to the right audience, regardless of your account's history or niche. A single high-quality post will find its viewers, making account-level siloing obsolete.
Social media has evolved into 'interest media.' The algorithm is so effective that the content itself—the words you use, your background, your appearance—is the primary targeting mechanism. Instead of chasing broad appeal, create content specifically for your ideal avatar, and the platform will find them for you.
Instead of a one-size-fits-all message, brands should create hyper-relevant content for different demographics (e.g., high school football teams, working moms) on the platforms they use (e.g., TikTok, LinkedIn). This decentralized approach builds a stronger, more resilient brand than a single campaign.
Algorithms struggle with accounts that have changed topics over time. Starting a new, niche-focused account allows the algorithm to quickly identify your audience, leading to faster discovery than an old account with a confused history.
Instead of centralizing all content on one brand account, ClickUp creates an ecosystem of pages like "ClickUp Comedy" and "ClickUp Memes." These niche accounts build their own dedicated audiences and can grow faster than the main brand page, creating multiple entry points into the ClickUp universe.
Social media has shifted from 'social' to 'interest' media, where the algorithm targets users based on the content they consume. Making hyper-specific content for your target audience is the most effective form of targeting. Resist making broad content for vanity metrics, as it won't reach qualified buyers.
Stop creating broad content to chase views. Algorithms are so effective that creating hyper-specific content for your ideal customer is the most efficient way to reach them. The content itself is now the targeting mechanism.
Instead of one general brand account, create multiple hyper-niche accounts focused on specific topics. In an 'interest media' world, a brand new, topic-specific account with zero followers can achieve massive organic reach on a relevant post, often outperforming a large, generalist account.
The old strategy of a single brand account across multiple platforms is obsolete. A more effective modern approach is to supplement the main account with numerous persona-driven accounts (human or AI-generated). This distributed model creates a more authentic presence and multiplies the chances of content going viral.
Instead of focusing on a central brand account, Essentially Sports built over 150 niche social media communities for specific players or teams. They believed that on social platforms, users connect more deeply with their specific fandom than with a broad media company brand.
