🌸Social Media: A Day in the Life🌸

-



Being 25, I am old enough to remember writing essays in middle school about the effects of using social media, if it was safe and what its future could hold. Since then a bunch of new platforms have grown in popularity. Now in 2024, people have full time careers from using social media. Making a generous amount of money too.

I frequent platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and Pinterest and truly have positive interactions on each one. While it seems today a lot of these apps are attempting to “copy” each other when it comes to user features, they all have unique uses for me. I personally use Facebook to keep up with my family and friends rather than influencers. Tiktok and Instagram is where I choose to follow celebrities and influences along with friends. Pinterest is different where I do choose to not follow anyone but instead have a stream of random people's pictures that match what I’m interested in. 

As someone who avidly checks their email, I definitely read many promotions. The types of emails that catch my attention are usually ones that show a company is either having a sale or released something new. While brands still send emails promoting products, I believe digital marketing is shifting away from this and using social media marketing instead. I know people with thousands of unread emails making email marketing pointless for them.

Dunkin’s Rebrand: How Simplifying a Name Strengthened a Brand

Dunkin's Successful Brand Positioning Dunkin’, once known as Dunkin’ Donuts, is a fast food brand that has built its identity around serving quick, quality coffee along with drive through breakfast foods. Its mission is to make people’s day by offering great-tasting beverages and food, served fast and fresh. (Pereira D., 2023).  Over time, the brand has evolved to reflect changing consumer habits, focusing more on being a beverage-led, on-the-go brand. This shift was reinforced through a major rebrand in 2018, when the company officially dropped “Donuts” from its name. By simplifying its branding and emphasizing convenience and coffee, Dunkin’ has repositioned itself to stay relevant in a competitive market while still delivering on its core promise.
