Videography

At the heart of every social media channel or website is great video. Created in-house or retrieved from a stock site, videography is strategically used to helps ensure a brand or product is defined (and memorable).

Viewability

A metric focused on ads being physically seen by users.

Virtual Events

The new kids on the block. Events held in a virtual environment vs. a physical location. They can be live-streamed or recorded and are a great workaround to physical barriers such as distance, weather + health. 99.9% of the time, they are a lot of fun.

Weather-wise Marketing

The idea that real-time weather data can give marketers a deeper understanding of their audience and support contextual messaging — as weather can impact a person's routine, experiences and even mood.

White Label

A product / service created by a company or producer that is subsequently rebranded to appear as if it is made by another company.

Word-of-Mouth Marketing

Promotion driven by satisfied customers sharing recommendations with others.

X

The new Twitter? Looks like it! Elon Musk rebranded Twitter to “X”, removing the iconic blue bird logo. This news was met with dissatisfaction from many, and confusion from others — we’ll be keeping an eye on how this rebrand affects the platform.

YTD Spend

A measure of how much money you’ve spent this year, from the very first day of your calendar year through today’s date.

eComm

We could argue that the world is a better place because of eComm. The online equivalent of a brick-and-mortar store, eCommerce is the trading of goods + services over the internet.

eCommerce

eCommerce is buying and selling products and services on the internet, with exchange of payment and data to complete the transactions.

Short-Attention Economy

The short-attention economy is the lack of human capacity to engage in focus for long periods. Attention spans are getting shorter, and consumers are looking for results ASAP.

Sitemap

A file or page listing all the URLs on a website to help search engines index it effectively.

Snackable Content

Refers to content that is short, to the point and easy to understand. Most often used when referencing content that will be viewed through a mobile experience.

Social Listening

The process of monitoring and analyzing the conversation and sentiment that is occurring online about your brand in order to learn more about your audience — and potential future audiences.

Social-First Content

What every brand needs a lot of! This strategy prioritizes campaign goals + assets based on your audience's behavior on social media. Social discovery is the primary goal. Breef Tip: Between video, photos, UGC…it’s a lot. An agency can help.

Soft Launch

The initial release of a product or service to a limited audience before a wider public launch.

Sonic Logo

A sonic branding tool that is a short, identifiable auditory signature. An example? The familiar 'ta-dum' that plays when you open the Netflix app on your TV.

Sticky Content

Content that a user remembers after the fact — i.e. intentionally memorable content.
