𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞! 🎉 Here are our 25 resolutions as social media managers: 1. I will not be the first person to like the brand post I just published. 2. I will stop pretending to be an influencer just because I’m the face of the brand. 3. I will finally stick to our brand guidelines in my posts and stop ‘innovating.’ 4. I will not judge the copywriting of advocacy posts from other teams. 5. I will cut down on caffeine—no, it won’t improve my ROI. 6.

I will stop trying to understand LinkedIn’s algorithm. 9. I will fact-check EVERYTHING ChatGPT reports. 10. I will create posts *ahead of time* and not the day before they’re due. 11. I won’t get annoyed when receiving unsolicited advice from other teams. 12. I will stop using terms like “reach,” “views,” and “engagement” to explain my job to my family. 13. I will stop using stock footage and start filming real footage for more authenticity. 14. I will strive to make my boss understand that social media is not just about leads. 15. I will no longer pressure the tech team to appear in our corporate videos. 16. I will make sure I understand Gen Z slang before using it in my posts. 17. I will embrace the simplicity of PlayPlay for creating my videos. 18. I will stop begrudgingly proofreading employee advocacy posts. 19. I will not take passive-aggressive comments on TikTok to heart. 20. I will remind everyone that my job is more than “just making Reels.” 21. I will stop worrying about the typo I once made that everyone remembers. 22. I will finally organize my 1,373 inspiration posts folder. 23. I won’t freak out when a colleague says, "I saw this cool trend on TikTok..." 24. I will stop pretending to be a thought leader just because I posted my dog on social media... 25. ...Instead, I’ll focus on educational content to grow my personal brand. And you, what are yours?

Favorite new holiday tradition? ❄️ Cold Calling Day ❄️ Last week our NYC office cranked up the holiday cheer to turn the usual hustle of sales calls into a festive office-wide celebration.
