Tara Miremadi Speaks on How to Leverage Social Media to Voice Support for BLM Movement Efforts in a Recent Business Insider Article
Digital Brand Manager of Margaux Agency featured in a Business Insider article on how brands can utilize social media to effectively voice support for Black Lives Matter movement.
Los Angeles, CA, September 05, 2020 --(PR.com)-- Margaux Agency’s dynamic Digital Brand Manager, Tara Miremadi, was featured in a recent Business Insider piece, “Brands are getting flack online for voicing support for Black Lives Matter. Experts explain how to best use social media to respond to criticism.” In the wake of George Floyd's death and the subsequent Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests, brands realized that online activism was a slippery slope. Without taking the time or attention needed to fully support the movement, we saw the influx of brands and influencers partaking in slacktivism in order to stay on-trend. This tone-deaf approach resulted in many brands receiving backlash for their lack of commitment, communication, and consideration for the Black community.
In this piece, Tara emphasizes the importance of action-led communication strategies and how to implement your brand’s values into an effective marketing strategy for long term solidarity and community trust.
“Notice what patterns are emerging and face the problem head on. In the short term, create a response that acknowledges that experience, promises action to resolve it, and invites further discussion. People will value and respect a brand that has the ability to take ownership and accountability.”
Examples of this are confronting past racist errors with a plan for change (donations, company reorganization, new diverse hires) and sharing them to the public. Listening to customer feedback by asking questions or holding forums is a great way to hear your customers firsthand and take direct action on the matters affecting them. Making sure your company has strong and constant community management efforts on social media platforms is a surefire way to make sure no person feels alienated from your brand.
The key for brands is to realize that when it comes to a civil rights movement, showing your support is a marathon not a sprint. The safety of Black lives isn’t a viral trend like the black box. Raising awareness, doing research, partnering with advocates and organizations, asking hard questions, and diversifying your content are all great ways to bolster your marketing strategy for the long term. Once you make these habits, you will find that your work suddenly has deeper, more inspiring meaning.
