- [The Complete Guide to 2026 Social Media Holidays for Brands](https://nueramarketing.com/the-complete-guide-to-2026-social-media-holidays-for-brands/): One of the secrets to superior social media marketing for brands of all shapes and sizes is finding the right context for your content. Social media “holidays” are a really fun way to join existing conversations about your audience or industry, but it can be difficult to find a complete social media calendar that lists every single social media holiday that could be germane to your business. We’ve solved that problem for you with the single most complete calendar of 2026 social media holidays for brands to utilize throughout the year!
- [December 2025 Social Media Holidays & Observances](https://nueramarketing.com/december-2025-social-media-holidays-observances/): ‘Tis the season for social media managers for brands and businesses to scramble while compiling a cogent plan for the holiday season. There’s a lot of nuance that goes into posting on social media during the holidays and lucky for you, we wrote a fairly extensive blog about it that has all the answers you need here. That’s not all and such is the extent of our wanton generosity (and some might say masochism) that we’ve also compiled a full December calendar of social media holidays and observances for businesses to use when creating their content calendar.
- [November 2025 Social Media Holidays & Observances](https://nueramarketing.com/november-2025-social-media-holidays-observances/): It’s no secret that November is going to be an extraordinarily important month both online and offline. It promises to be a divisive time on social media and that will only escalate if the rumors prove to be founded in truth. That’s right, if Taylor Swift announces Reputation (Taylor’s Version) then social media managers across the globe will have to entirely reevaluate their approach to content in November. Luckily, you have your old pals at Nuera Marketing to provide a comprehensive calendar of November social media holidays and observances for businesses to utilize so that they can break through all the white noise of a re-recorded “Look What You Made Me Do.”
- [A Negative Online Review is an Opportunity for your Brand](https://nueramarketing.com/a-negative-online-review-is-an-opportunity-for-your-brand/): Every small business owner and marketer knows the agony that follows the receipt of a negative review on Google. We’ve talked about how to respond to online reviews on our blog before, which contains helpful information about how to respond to all reviews, including demonstrably false negative reviews. These sadly plague brands more often than they should and they are frustrating! Hell, we’re currently fighting a false one-star review from someone we’ve never worked with, let alone spoken to or met (we’re fairly certain it’s not a real person, as is often the case with these reviews). But what if your negative review is at least in part a valid complaint from a real client or customer? We see small business owners jump into defensive mode and fire back at these far too often. This is obviously a mistake as it tends to validate the complaint and do more damage than the review would have done if it had simply been left alone (which we also do not recommend). We share in the thinking of most experienced digital marketers who believe you can and should turn any valid negative review you receive into an opportunity for your brand. Here’s how:
- [October 2025 Social Media Holidays & Observances](https://nueramarketing.com/october-2025-social-media-holidays-observances/): It’s starting to feel like fall outside as we enter October and while the leaves may be beginning to fall, we’ve stepped up with yet another calendar of social media holidays and observances for brands and businesses. October is about so much more than “spooky season” and the pumpkin spice-ification of every coffee drink because there is a veritable cornucopia of holidays for brands and businesses to observe regardless of their industry. Your old pals at Nuera Marketing have done the legwork and not only compiled a comprehensive list of October social media holidays for businesses, but we’ve also included helpful context for each day (plus a few jokes for maximum yuks) as well as links for you to share with your followers!
- [September 2025 Social Media Holidays & Observances](https://nueramarketing.com/september-2025-social-media-holidays-observances/): September has arrived which means fall is just around the corner! As you prepare to be inundated with football season, pumpkin spiced everything and an absurd overuse of the burnt orange color in advertising, your business has plenty of social media holidays in September to celebrate. As with all of these blogs, we've not only compiled a list of September social media holidays for brands and businesses, we've also included helpful context, links and hashtags because at Nuera Marketing, we like giving 100% to an idea even if certain people (points at self) wildly underestimated how long each one would take to complete!
- [The Age of AI: Why Copywriting Still Needs a Human Touch](https://nueramarketing.com/the-age-of-ai-why-copywriting-still-needs-a-human-touch-2/): Much of the digital marketing world has adopted the use of ChatGPT or other artificial intelligence (AI) platforms. While the scope of writing and digital marketing has rapidly evolved, many are asking meaningful questions around the intersection of "human vs AI". Though the technology is undoubtedly convenient and impressive, it has some distinct disadvantages. Weighing the pros and cons of AI technology in digital marketing will be on nearly every company's radar if it's not already.
- [How To Post About Holidays as a Brand on Social Media](https://nueramarketing.com/how-to-post-about-holidays-as-a-brand-on-social-media-2/): The social media landscape sure has changed over this past year which means brands need to find inventive ways to engage their audiences during the holidays. While this often means changing your visuals and your audience targeting, there are still evergreen strategies that are effective at engaging your audience around the holidays. This was our best-performing blog of all time when we first wrote it and we’ve updated it so that brands have access to even more helpful tips about how to post about holidays on social media!
- [How to Handle Competition in Business](https://nueramarketing.com/how-to-handle-competition-in-business-2/): I’m going to start by stating something I wholeheartedly believe: competition in business is good. It’s good for the consumer because it affords them more choice based on price, service, quality, and fit. It’s good for the business because it prevents complacency, necessitates innovation, and drives teams and products toward continuous improvement. It’s good for the world because it gives us all something to aspire to, keeps us moving forward, and once again because competitive trade is good for the consumer--and we’re all consumers.
- [The Complete Guide to 2025 Social Media Holidays for Brands](https://nueramarketing.com/the-complete-guide-to-2025-social-media-holidays-for-brands/): One of the secrets to superior social media marketing for brands of all shapes and sizes is finding the right context for your content. Social media “holidays” are a really fun way to join existing conversations about your audience or industry but it can be difficult to find a complete social media calendar that lists every single social media holiday that could be germane to your business. We’ve solved that problem for you with the single most complete calendar of 2025 social media holidays for brands to utilize throughout the year!
- [The Power of Letting Go: Arriving At Your Organization’s Optimal Altitude](https://nueramarketing.com/the-power-of-letting-go-arriving-at-your-organizations-optimal-altitude/): We’ve all heard some variation of a resonant quote about the power of letting go which reminds us that, “the more we let go of the things that weigh us down, the higher we can fly.” For some reason, this has always summoned the ever-exquisite flight of a hot air balloon to my mind. You see, when a balloon first takes flight, sandbags are used to weigh it down and keep it from blowing away. To fly, some of those must be released. Once the balloon is airborne, remaining sandbags are shifted around to adjust its elevation. Simply moving the airbags to different positions around the balloon will adjust how high or low it’s able to fly. There’s a powerful business metaphor in there if we consider the “balloon” our business/organization and the “weights” anything that might be holding it down.
- [How To Post About Holidays as a Brand on Social Media](https://nueramarketing.com/how-to-post-about-holidays-as-a-brand-on-social-media/): ‘Tis the season for Mariah Carey to make a bundle and for brands to post about holidays on social media with the same phoned-in sentiments as the year before! Given that social media trends change along with the seasons, we thought we’d update our famous blog about how to post about holidays as a brand on social media.
- [What To Ask When Planning a Photo Shoot](https://nueramarketing.com/what-to-ask-when-planning-a-photo-shoot/): As a commercial advertising and food photographer, I find it’s always nice to work with a creative director on shoots as they’re able to help guide me on their client’s needs, manage expectations, and assemble the right team. Communication is critical and we tend to believe it’s always important to understand what can be achieved in a full-day shoot as sometimes certain photographs can take longer than one might think, particularly food images where the dish has to look just right and as appetizing as possible. With all of that in mind, here are a few of the questions we typically ask a client when planning a photo shoot.
- [Successfully Launching Your Small Business On Social Media](https://nueramarketing.com/successfully-launching-your-small-business-on-social-media/): Launching your small business on social media can feel a lot like playing a game of Oregon Trail. You have the opportunity to explore new frontiers with your marketing and while unexpected challenges will arise along the way, at least you won’t have to worry about a member of your family contracting Cholera. You only have one chance to make a good first impression with your small business on social media and since we’re all about helpful social media guides, we’ve compiled a list of social media tips to ensure you make an impact from the word go!
- [Mega Lotto Plays & the Marketing Power of Desired Future State](https://nueramarketing.com/mega-lotto-plays-the-marketing-power-of-desired-future-state/): Enter the marketing power of these customers’ dreams; their desired future state.
- [The Ethics of Generative AI in Commercial Design](https://nueramarketing.com/the-ethics-of-generative-ai-in-commercial-design/): Generative AI has already transformed our world in what feels like the blink of an eye. From the simple ability to add margin to the edge of a photograph to drafting an entire college term paper, most of us are clamoring to keep up against the blinding pace of advancement. Though the results of what this new technological frontier will produce are only just coming to fruition, we are now faced with new ethical conundrums that many industries are struggling with for the first time. Whether it be writers’ and actors’ unions trying to protect their professions from automation or journalists having to wade through a sea of deep fakes, it seems like every industry has its own unique obstacles with generative AI. But I am merely one designer, at one marketing agency, floating in a vast sea of companies and industries, so I will fix my attention on a single question: “Should you hire an agency that is already working with generative AI?” While I believe the short answer is “yes,” I’d encourage you to read on as we explore the ethics of generative AI in commercial design and how it may shape our attitudes and creative efforts in this new era.
- [The Age of AI: Why Copywriting Still Needs a Human Touch](https://nueramarketing.com/the-age-of-ai-why-copywriting-still-needs-a-human-touch/): Much of the digital marketing world has adopted the use of ChatGPT or other artificial intelligence (AI) platforms. While the scope of writing and digital marketing has rapidly evolved, many are questioning the viability of the new technology. Though the technology is undoubtedly convenient and impressive, it has some distinct disadvantages. Weighing the pros and cons of AI technology in digital marketing will be on nearly every company's radar if it's not already.
- [4th of July Social Media Post Ideas For Your Brand](https://nueramarketing.com/4th-of-july-social-media-post-ideas-for-your-brand/): It’s with that in mind that we wanted to offer a handful of 4th of July social media post ideas for brands that will help your business stand out as much as John Hancock’s signature on that sacred document.
- [The Importance of Defining & Measuring Marketing Success](https://nueramarketing.com/the-importance-of-defining-measuring-marketing-success/): The first time we speak with a prospective client about their marketing, we obviously start by telling them how amazing we are (kidding) but we’ve also got quite a few standard questions we tend to ask them regardless of the focus of the conversation. Those questions open up important discussions ranging from their target audiences and markets served to their competitor landscape and points of unique value.
- [Getting Started with Google Local Services](https://nueramarketing.com/getting-started-with-google-local-services/): We’ve had incredible success with our service-based clients using Google Local Services and that goes beyond nearly doubling their leads year-over-year. There are so many different benefits to getting started with Google Local Services that extend to every facet of your business from digital marketing and sales to customer service and strategic planning. While most marketers and small business owners are familiar with Google Ads, we’re taking a deeper look into everything you need to know about getting started with Google Local Services to bring in new business and improve your overall digital marketing plan.
- [The Evolution of Social Media Content Design](https://nueramarketing.com/the-evolution-of-social-media-content-design/): Anyone who has ever designed content for a brand on social media knows how challenging it can be. If we completely ignore the content strategy side of social media management and focus entirely on creative development, we’re still left with a dizzying list of considerations. For my first blog of 2023, I thought we’d take a look back at how far the evolution of content design for social media has come. From sharing a photo all the way to elaborate targeted video campaigns, social media continues to raise the bar for creators everywhere.
- [How Often Should You Redesign Your Website?](https://nueramarketing.com/how-often-should-you-redesign-your-website/): There are few prouder moments for an organization than the launch of a new website design. It can take months or even years to complete the process and comes with a huge sigh of relief once it’s finally live. But before the new site is even indexed in Google, an invisible countdown has already begun–it’s the countdown to the inevitable end of life for that website. “Hang on there, Werner Herzog…our website just launched! Surely we’ll get many years out of this new build?” I can hear you vainly hoping. Unfortunately, the lifecycle of any given site is probably shorter than you think. Orbit Media conducted a study that found the average lifespan of a website is a paltry 2 years and 7 months! You read that correctly. Gone are the days when an organization could gainfully enjoy the better part of a decade from a single web installation. Whether it’s changes within your organization, external market factors, or simply a site that’s being held together by hopes and dreams, a website redesign is in your organization’s future. It’s never too early to ask the question “how often should you redesign your website?” So in this post we’ll offer a few insights about the lifespan of a website, the factors that can prematurely age it, and when you should begin planning your new build.
- [Standing Out: The Whos, Whys and Whats of Defining Your Company’s Unique Value](https://nueramarketing.com/standing-out-the-whos-whys-and-whats-of-defining-your-companys-unique-value/): When you understand and define your company’s unique value, you’re able to clearly tell your potential clients or customers how they’ll benefit from your product or service, how that product or service will solve their problems, and most importantly, what makes your product or service different from or better than the competition. Defining and being able to clearly communicate your unique value proposition is a critical first step in creating an effective messaging strategy, developing a successful sales strategy, and building a world-class brand.
- [A-Z Guide To Managing Social Media For Brands: Part II](https://nueramarketing.com/a-z-guide-to-managing-social-media-for-brands-part-ii/): A few years ago we wrote the first A-Z Guide to Managing Social Media For Brands to account for several universal truths that will always be applicable to social media marketing. It was one of our most visited blogs ever and like our friends out in Hollywood, we saw a lot of potential in a sequel. Fear not though dear reader, this is no by-the-numbers retread as this blog expounds on the ideas put forth in the first blog to account for an ever-changing social media landscape. As far as blog sequels go, it’s more “The Godfather Part II” than “Speed 2: Cruise Control.”
- [Client Spotlight: Shrimp Shack](https://nueramarketing.com/client-spotlight-shrimp-shack/): In the Spring of 2019, our agency earned the exciting opportunity to work with the Shrimp Shack--a small but thriving fast casual seafood chain in Jacksonville, Florida. We were excited because while these types of accounts can present a few hurdles, the challenges they present are typically the most fun to solve. We were recommended to the client by an architecture firm that was in the process of designing a new, modern look for the restaurant’s flagship location. However, this buildout was missing some critical details such as brand colors, approved imagery, type treatments, material textures, and (most importantly) a polished, updated logo that better represented where the brand was headed. Following their acceptance of our sweeping rebranding proposal, our ongoing relationship with Shrimp Shack began.
- [Stop Using Linktree in Your Brand’s Social Media Bios](https://nueramarketing.com/stop-using-linktree-in-your-brands-social-media-bios/): Last year, while we were onboarding a new social media management client, they asked us to set up a custom-styled and integrated Linktree for their Instagram bio. Linktree, in case you don’t know, allows users to create a personalized and customizable mobile landing page that houses all the important links that they want to share with their audience. It's essentially a third-party, link-in-bio solution that can be used on social media platforms like Instagram, TikTok, Twitch, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn, and more. There are quite a few Linktree alternatives out there as well, and like the first-to-market, they’re all fairly limited mobile splash pages that live outside of the social user’s own website. While setting up and styling our new client’s custom Linktree, we realized that for the time we were billing for the setup/customization and the drawbacks and limitations of the tool itself, we could do better. We could stop using Linktree altogether.
- [To Niche or Not to Niche?](https://nueramarketing.com/to-niche-or-not-to-niche/): Whether you’re an entrepreneur or just trying to go viral on TikTok, I’m sure you’ve been told that you have to find your niche to succeed. What makes you special? What sets you apart? What makes you a master?
- [The 4 Most Underutilized Features for Brands on Social Media](https://nueramarketing.com/the-4-most-underutilized-features-for-brands-on-social-media/): I recently read an article about how to increase Instagram engagements for a business and the first tip was to “post interesting content.” This struck me as both insanely obvious as well as being akin to saying “if you make your movie watchable, then people will go see it.”* Sure, a large part of social media success is creating and curating compelling content but there’s so much more that goes into ensuring that not only do people actually see it but that your desired audience does as well.
- [How to Plan Visual Content Production for Website Design](https://nueramarketing.com/how-to-plan-visual-content-production-for-website-design/): Whether it’s “wow-factor,” “POP,” or simply selling your customers’ desired future state, the creation of stunning visual imagery lies at the heart of any website design. As a marketing agency with a strong creative and web department, our mission is to convey a narrative that helps our clients declare at a glance “This is why we’re unique. This is why we’re special!” Chief among my duties as our agency’s creative director is the notion that it’s not sufficient to simply create good visual content, it has to be effective visual content. There is no greater synthesis of this than the exhaustive content and media planning that goes into a full website design. Ideally, this sprawling medium includes every relevant detail about an organization, and knowing how to tell that story is critical. Read on to learn more about how to plan visual content production for website design.
- [Three Lessons Leaders In Business Can Learn from the Jacksonville Jaguars](https://nueramarketing.com/three-lessons-leaders-in-business-can-learn-from-the-jacksonville-jaguars/): I’ve been an NFL fan for most of my life and in 2009, when I first moved to Jacksonville, I decided to go all-in on the Jaguars. I purchased season tickets, bought the gear, began attending an away game or two each season, and was even there wearing a fake mustache alongside tens of thousands of fans showing full support for our new owner when Shad Khan purchased the team. Fast forward to a few weeks ago and I’ve still got my season tickets, but I found myself wearing a clown nose to the final game of another last-place season alongside thousands of other fans in protest of the clownish, disconnected decision-making of our team’s ownership and front office. As a fan, I’m obviously disappointed in the team’s continuously poor performance and as a customer, in the product they’re delivering in exchange for my time and money. As a business leader, I couldn’t help but consider how Shad Khan’s Jaguars could have avoided the undesirable position they placed their customers in this past season. With that, here are just a few of the lessons I believe leaders in business can learn from the Jacksonville Jaguars.
- [Taking It Personally (Again) in 2022](https://nueramarketing.com/taking-it-personally-again-in-2022/): I recently wrote about how to respond to online reviews (fun!) and I’m sure discerning readers detected some subtext in the sections about negative reviews that I didn’t overtly spell out but certainly didn’t shy away from. Look, it sucks having to respond to negative reviews and comments when they’re unreasonable. Nobody goes to school to study how to talk some crazy old man off the internet ledge because he felt his artisanal gingerbread cookie was mundane.
- [If You Build It, Will They Come?](https://nueramarketing.com/if-you-build-it-will-they-come/): “If you build it, they will come” certainly made for a memorable and legendary one-liner from “Field of Dreams” back in 1989, but when I recently heard it applied to a potential client’s new website, I realized how that expectation could really leave a lot to be desired. We often have clients come to us with an expressed need for a new site but in reality, what they’re typically looking for is more qualified website traffic, improved online experiences for their customers, and ultimately: more new business. This is where an early conversation is often helpful around how to traffic the new or existing build. However, based on budgets, complexity of development, and varying audiences and industries, many brands will find themselves at severely different starting points. The good news is that no matter what your starting point is there are a few universal truths about building the website of your dreams while ensuring your target audience finds it.
- [Make the Logo Bigger: A Crash Course in Brand Focus](https://nueramarketing.com/make-the-logo-bigger/): It always starts as such a seemingly benign note by a well-intentioned client: “make the logo bigger.” So simple, right? What could possibly be objectionable about that? The problem is rarely the request itself, but the impulse to make it. Many tropes have emerged through the years which comically pit a client and a designer against each other over seemingly inconsequential details. But regardless of which side of the client/agency line we fall on, we believe in our organization, and what better symbolizes that allegiance than our brand’s beloved logo? This post aims to answer that question by turning the original request inside out. Let’s explore why exercising a little well-placed humility will always serve your brand better.
- [How to Respond to Online Reviews](https://nueramarketing.com/how-to-respond-to-online-reviews/): We’ve compiled this guide on how to respond to online reviews so that you know precisely how to emphasize enthusiasm, challenge an inaccuracy or injustice, and mitigate any potential negativity.
- [From the “Express” Lane: Where Marketing Meets Customer Experience](https://nueramarketing.com/from-the-express-lane-where-marketing-meets-customer-experience/): As I stood in line weighing my options between a Reese’s Big Cup or a single-serving Cheetos bag should I be there long enough to require sustenance, it occurred to me that there were a few good metaphors here which might speak well to why brand and marketing must align with day-to-day management to create positive, consistent customer experiences. Is this one of the sillier things that have ever inspired a blog post by me? Yes. Am I being a drama llama to make a point? Also yes, but here it is anyway.
- [8 Do’s & Don’ts of Web Design for Small Business](https://nueramarketing.com/8-dos-donts-of-web-design-for-small-business/): As creatives at a digital marketing agency, we know well the risk and reward scenario a new website typically represents for a small business. The investment in a new website needs to prove value by providing a favorable, effective user experience for one’s customers. Indeed, most small business websites have plenty of low-hanging fruit when it comes to improving and delivering a more valuable user experience. Since opening our doors in 2016, we’ve observed and developed a number of simple benchmarks within our own web design process that have not only improved our own efficiency in web development but enhanced the final product for our clients as well. From applying best practices to setting expectations about the design process itself, we’ve compiled eight of the most vital do's & don'ts of web design for small business.
- [Effective Social Media Targeting For Brands & Businesses](https://nueramarketing.com/effective-social-media-targeting-for-brands-businesses/): The best asset at your disposal for social media targeting is your sales data and the demographic information contained in the backend of Google Analytics and other software. At Nuera, we use a variety of social media management tools/software to identify our clients’ primary demographics and incorporate that information into the audiences we build to target. The great thing about this data is that you can go really granular down to a product level. For example, if it seems like women aged 35-45 that live in a certain area respond more favorably to posts about a specific product, you can build an audience to target those demographics when advertising that product again.
- [How to Avoid Design By Committee](https://nueramarketing.com/how-to-avoid-design-by-committee/): There are so many variants of this age-old problem that you never have to reach far for an idiom. Indeed, it’s a common enough issue that most of us can point to examples in our everyday lives (don’t even get me started about the minestrone fiasco of Thanksgiving 2017). For anyone involved in project-based roles, the challenge of too many viewpoints of a project can be a daily struggle. In addition to potentially undoing hours of thoughtful and creative work, this phenomenon can be paralyzing to the very thing we are all after--good work. This article aims to provide a thorough look at how too many opinions can reduce otherwise good designs to their least common denominator and provide tips on how to avoid design by committee.
- [Building Community for Brands on Social Media](https://nueramarketing.com/building-community-for-brands-on-social-media/): At a time where people feel more isolated than ever before, they are turning to social media to feel a sense of connection and community that has been largely absent in the real world. If you’ve logged in to Twitter at any point in the last year then you know that connection takes on many forms: sometimes it’s just to share something witty, sometimes it’s to weigh in on a hot take, and sometimes it’s to dunk on some tasteless dolt who thinks “Hotel California” is a timeless classic (that was me dunking and I’ve since apologized). People need to feel a part of something again and social media affords brands an incredible opportunity to cultivate a sense of community around their product or service.
- [Five Lessons Learned for Five Years of Nuera](https://nueramarketing.com/five-lessons-learned-for-five-years-of-nuera/): I’ve written a blog on each of our previous anniversaries and most of them focused on us--where we’ve been, what we’re doing, where we’re going, etc. They were all well received so I was naturally prepared to go that route again. I drafted an outline for our 5th anniversary blog and was ready to start writing but then I stopped because I realized something super important! I realized that you don’t really care about that and--a big marketing reminder for myself here--it wouldn’t really bring you a lot of value. That’s not because you’re some horrible person and don’t care about anyone but yourself but let’s be honest, you very appropriately care far more about your own company than you do about ours. With that in mind, I decided instead to share five business lessons learned through our first five years in business that will hopefully serve you in your own business journey.
- [How to Develop a Visual Brand Guide](https://nueramarketing.com/how-to-design-a-brand-guide/): I'm lucky to be able to do what I love for a living and brand design is at the very top of my list. However, if there were ever a delusion I would love to dispel as a brand designer, it would be that a logo is not a brand unto itself. A true visual brand system directs every deliberate detail of a company or organization, from its primary logo down to its corporate letterhead. It’s the all-encompassing standard designed to answer any question about a brand’s visual identity long before it’s been asked. Through this post, we’ll share the value in developing a visual brand system and aim to provide ‘the why’ behind how to design a brand guide.
- [In the Eye of the Beholder: Psychology in Design](https://nueramarketing.com/in-the-eye-of-the-beholder-psychology-in-design/): “I make things pretty.” Simple, succinct, and maybe a bit undermining, but it’s my go-to response to “So, what is it someone in marketing does, exactly?”
