๐ Unboxed: Creating Virality, Tips From Davie Fogarty ๐ฆ
Guess who's talking about the power of storytelling in your brand? Shark Tank's Davie Fogarty, that's who! ๐ฆ Watch as Davie shares a tip on making a bath bomb business go viral.
Here's the simple but rarely done inside scoop: the key is to keep the audience hooked till the very end of your product's 'performance'โin this case, itโs the bath bomb's fizz at the beginning, ๐ see, everyone talks about the beginning of what you do and say as the key, but the secret is in your ending!!
I love the cool Jaws-themed bath bomb that oozes 'blood' and reveals a mini prize at the end. ๐ฆ๐ฉธIt's like a mini-movie unfolding in your bath-tub, so cute!!
Davie touches on how to leverage social platforms like TikTok ๐น to get the buzz going with your content and get social proof from UGC and other creators.
So, how can you apply this to your business? Take a moment to think about how you can make the 'ending' of your product or service experience a happy one!! Yep, I went there ๐ซฃThe easiest way to do that is to ask yourself, is this content something I would share if I as shown it, and use that as your benchmark ๐
@daviefogarty This is how I would make this bath bomb business into a multi-million dollar business using artificial intelligence and TikTok.
๐ฎ BTS: How NOT To Get Scammed On Instagram, I Learned The Hard Way ๐ช
This week, a rather unexpected and pretty shitty thing happened โ I was scammed and I lost my Instagram account. Yep, you read that right, Iโm not immune to bad humans and shitty things. Here's how it all went down: The scammers posed as Metta on Instagram, sent me a DM and told me that I had to secure my account or risk it being closed - there was a link to a form to appeal where I entered my IG password which is how they got into my account, changed my email, and closed me down. ๐ฑ๐ซ
They even went as far as trying to extort $1700 from me to regain access and are still sending me videos of my inaccessible account. Not ok! ๐ค๐
It was a tough lesson, especially because it happened during those early morning scrolls when the guard was down ๐. I often say to my clients, you don't own your social media - your only secure asset is your email list, and I am living proof of that. ๐ง
On a brighter note ๐ I've been looking at how the algorithms have changed and have been meaning to change my socials for a little while now, so this has motivated me to revisit my Instagram strategy. It's a sign, and I'm taking it as an opportunity to launch Branding Unboxed on social media. So, stay tuned and stay informed and safe in the digital world! ๐๐ช
Here is what the scam looks like, and the arseholes that are responsible ๐ก

Do you find yourself pouring your heart into daily content creation, but your engagement and conversions just don't seem to match the effort you put in? ๐ฉ๐ฝโ๐ป I get it; we've all been there. Itโs the most frustrating place to be. ๐
Here are some insight on how to supercharge your videos so they become irresistible invitations to collaborate and connect with your people.๐ฃ
๐ฌ Cut to the Chase: No more fluff! Create content that hits the bullseye, ๐ฏ speak directly to the core problems and desires of your people. Be concise, be purposeful โ grab attention and don't let go. ๐ค
๐ฆ Know Your Edge: In a sea of options, you need to stand out. Explore what sets you apart and strategically highlight those elements ๐ช When you shine a light on what makes you unique, you become a magnet for those who are exploring their options to work with people like you. ๐๐งฒ
๐บ๏ธ Context Matters: It's not just about giving solutions; it's about providing the context that makes those solutions valuable. ๐ฐ Explain why it matters, how it benefits your audience, and why they should care.

๐ Brand Excellence: Dr. Hanks and Happy Tooth, Where Smiles Are Made
Iโm head over heels for Dr. Hanks and the Happy Tooth crew for their super cool approach to dentistry. ๐ฆทโจ
Dr. Hanks starts his day without scrubs and has a collection of high tops in his office as well as an indoor basketball and playroom. ๐ Who says a visit to the dentist can't be an adventure? ๐ข Inside his tooth hub (not clinic) he has a playlist of foot-tapping, dance-worthy tunes, which takes away the dentist's terror and sets a perfect vibe for his patients ๐ต
As a pediatric dentist, Dr. Hanks is transforming dental visits into a playful, joyful experience to give kids a safe space to share their feelings, play and learn to love teeth cleaning, and it's absolutely heartwarming.๐
Even on busy days, Dr. Hanks takes a break to shoot some hoops with his patients and help them to have a positive experience of visiting the dentist ๐๐ And guess what? Happy Tooth isn't your typical dental practice. He has even developed his own range of natural dental products. Now we just need him to open a clinic for adults! ๐ง๐ป๐ฆ๐ผ๐ฆ๐พ
