💬 LinkedIn is rolling out messaging to all Company Pages.
📸 Instagram is testing a new option called ‘Blend’ - this is a combined Reels feed where it’ll show Reels to a private group of friends, based on the videos you’ve shared with them via DM.
🎥 LinkedIn is testing out a new dedicated video feed, which will show scrollable vertical videos to users - just like TikTok.
✅ The accounts that have lots of verified user followers on X will get their verified check back, free of charge.

🙅♀️ How to avoid procrastination
Agency owners, what do you do to avoid procrastination?
I've recently learned about the 2 minute rule from the book 'Getting Things Done' by David Allen 👇
It's simple. If there's something on your to-do list that can be done within two minutes, do it immediately.
Examples:
📧 Send that email
🗣️ Provide feedback on a project
💻 Organise a file
It helps to tackle the smaller tasks so that your workload doesn't build up and become overwhelming. Needed this method!
Have you tried this before?
🤡 The best April Fools’ Day posts
Monday marked 1st April, AKA April Fools’ Day (a tradition that is believed to have been around since the Roman times!), and some brands got creative this year, as a way to prank followers and boost social media engagement. Here are a few of my faves:
(PS: totally didn’t fall for any of them… 👀)
