Wrinkle-free thanks to Botox. Skinny due to Ozempic. Teeth so-white-they-could-blind-you courtesy of veneers. Everywhere you look it seems like everyone is striving to be ‘perfect’. Whatever that means. But let’s be real, perfection is boring and AI has made everything too, well, shiny. … And it’s not just us that think so. As a university or higher ed institution, it can be tempting to only show the perfect side of you. But what about authenticity? Students know you’re not flawless, so why not be real, build a trusting relationship with them and stand out from the crowd? In our latest blog ‘Why authenticity in social media helps attract international students’, we’ll tell you why you shouldn’t be scared to show the not-so-pretty parts, and give you practical advice on how to be authentic whilst attracting customers. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/ds9EnXav Are you brave enough to be honest? #SocialMediaMarketing #HigherEd #IntlEd #InternationalEducation #Authenticity #PerfectionSucks #JoinTheHubbub

10 points if you can spot Dan Shepherd!

🐶 He’s king of the Hubbub dog-obsessives who mentions his dog at least 2463 times a day, and you can tell he’s been in office by the Kim-Woodburn levels of tidiness. 🧹 So today we’re celebrating one year (how is it only one year? But, seriously, how?!) of our very own Benjamin Hayes. As well as keeping our clients happy with his proactive and knowledgeable approach, he’s always there to offer help to anyone that needs it, whether that’s with work or just a sassy comment to alleviate stress. 💅 We’d say we’d make you a cake to celebrate, but we’re not sure we could take the criticism if it didn’t turn out well. #JoinTheHubbub #Workiversary #Teamwork #CelebratingTheTeam #KimWoodburnWithoutTheBun #GBBO

Back at the airport which means it’s time for another LinkedIn post… Wow Spotlight by Semrush - what an incredible couple of days. Starting with the canal boat ride and party on Tuesday 🍸 and a day of inspiring talks and thought-provoking masterminds yesterday. 🧠 With such a strong lineup it was hard to pick which session to attend. However, my top three were: - John Thornton from SURREAL and the perfect combination of attention + reactions + message - Michael Corcoran from Frankly - no nonsense advice about focusing on strategy before worrying about tactics - Nick Eubanks from Semrush and his insights on scaling an agency Other highlights include: - A meme museum/gallery - Meeting Chris the one man marketing hero - A giant pool full of balls and squeaky ducks - A temporary tattoo station - ROI or Die seemed to be a crowd favourite. Coming alone to a conference (especially a new one where you don’t know many people) is always daunting but luckily I quickly found my ‘conference crew’. Big shout out to Maximilian, Beatrice, Yannick, Isabella, Billy and Pradeep. Congrats Olga, Julia, Mateah and the entire army of purple hoodies who made the event a success. I’ll certainly be back! Hopefully with my team next time. #spotlightconf

Question. What does your product do? We don’t mean what is its function, we mean what does it do? Is it a car that gets customers from A to B? Or is it a way for them to visit family members who live in another part of the country? Is the pair of trainers for them to run in? Or are they the trainers that will help them run a marathon and raise money for a charity that they support? So what are we saying? Research, research, research. By understanding the job that your customers actually want done, you can really speak to them. How do you ensure that you’re speaking your customers’ language?
