There's some new software on the horizon that could help all marketing managers and brands with their snapchat and Instagram story telling. We love how using stories on social media has transformed how people and brands tell their own unique story, ephemeral posts that last up to 24 hours in a raw and portrait style, on Instagram especially stories have overtaken wall posts and freed updates! Let us introduce you to Fish Guru... The site says "Ephemeral storytelling channels

Having eyeballs on your brand is hard work, printed ads, digital signage, online ads and social media saturation... we try everything we can to get our brands seen and make them stand out! Now how do you get millions of eyeballs on your brand? Well you could spend a small fortune on social ads, you could maybe make a viral video? Or you make yourself some GIPHY stickers, we spoke about these at the start of the month and we have some impressive stats for you. Yes those stats

We have all seen the ads on TV around the World Cup or the promotions in the supermarket, but you don't have to be a FIFA global partner and World Cup sponsor to capitalise on one of the biggest sporting events in the World. We have helped a number of brands recently with campaigns in the build up to the World Cup including restaurants and take away outlets, Car dealerships and of course pubs and clubs. One of our campaigns was to help the Royal Pier (who we just added a bran

We've spoken about selling on social a few times this month, our work with businesses in Cardiff, Aberystwyth and anywhere else in the UK on social media is all about a positive return on investment. Our blog post last week spoke about the new Snapchat store built within the app, they've now given us a glimpse of whats to come with it's partnership with Nike, Shopify and Darkstore. Nike has become the first brand to sell a product directly through the Snapchat app at the NBA

Have you ever bought something on social? Seen a great product online and thought you need it right now? Back in the stone ages we would have to click on the product - be taken to the product page - asked to add item to a basket - confirm bank card details - finish purchase... BORING!! You may have pressed cancel or back by now and left the purchase, not any more! Facebook has had this 'buy now' or 'shop now' feature for a while, you can view the product and spec on Facebook

Who else is using Snapchat for their business? Many of our clients are still using it even though Facebook and Instagram are following their every move... now Snapchat has hit back with infinity snaps. Snapchat was originally conceived as a way to send images that would self-destruct a few moments after they had been viewed.

Snapchat launched Lenses over a year ago as a whole new way to express ourselves on Selfie loving app. Since then, we've become puppies, puked rainbows, face-swapped with our best friends — and begun to explore how Lenses can change the world around us. That’s now changed: Snapchat today announced World Lenses, which add some cool extras to everything around you and your friends – not just your pretty face!!!

That is the question.. We have met countless businesses in Aberystwyth and Cardiff recently talking about social media marketing and our social media management service and been asked one big question by most. Should I be on Instagram and Snapchat? The follow up question is normally... "But which one? What's the difference?"

Will it be another Google Glass and flop, we don’t think so and we can’t wait to snap snap snap and snap some more when they come out. The Snap specs are set to be around $130 (US) and they can record video and take pictures and the click of a button, perfect if your on Aberystwyth beach on a sunny day and want to record that perfect moment with friends. “Imagine one of your favourit
