Create Better Mobile Video Ads, Content Proofreading and Editing Tips & More: The Social Scoop 7/5/17

For my friends in the US, I trust you had a wonderful 4th of July celebration. I enjoyed a fun party on the 3rd and streamed the fabulous firework display on Facebook Live – it was actually to celebrate Oceanside, California’s 129th anniversary and we had a bird’s eye view. Hehee!  

Last Friday, I gave a talk on The Future of Facebook: What Marketers Need To Know at the annual Social Media Day San Diego for the 6th year in a row. I plan to lead the same talk as a Facebook Live in the coming weeks – stay tuned! 🙂

After traveling and speaking extensively all year so far, I’m delighted to be home all summer now. I will take a couple of mini breaks. But, mostly I have an epic number of exciting projects to catch up on and can hardly wait to share more with you!!
