As Social Media Managers, this teaches us a couple of interesting things:

  • Engagement and wedding are crucial life moments in which social media play a crucial role.
  • Brands can leverage these life moments, both with targeted ads (Facebook & Twitter), and organic content (Pinterest & Instagram), be it with awareness, engagement or sales in mind.

This is all the more “funny” since social media and weddings have one thing in common: the ultimate key success factor is planning 😉
