The whole world is talking about AI but how can it work specifically for you?
What are the leading tools that can save you a ton of time and allow you to make thumb-stopping content?
Below, I have listed a number of AI tools, tips, and hacks across Content Creation, Social Media Management & Data Insight.
1. CONTENT CREATION:
No brand can be built without high quality content. PERIOD.
Here are some ways in which AI can help:
Personalized Content: Tools based on analytical GEN LLM models like copy.ai and Adcreative.ai can process the personas of your target audience, their interests, and pain points.
With personalization at heart, they help you craft content that directly appeals to your prospects’ hearts and makes them hit that big fat FOLLOW button.
Content Optimization: Remember, everything you publish goes through a tight algo check on social media.
The latest integration of AI into existing content forward tools has made optimization a lot easier for creators.
Use Semrush AI for seamless market research and competitor analysis, and feed the insights to Narrato to generate content that’s made to win on social media.
Multilingual Content: Mr. Beast is dubbing his content in Portuguese, Russian, and Arabic and many other languages to reach more regional viewers. Why shouldn’t You?
And here’s the crazy part – you don’t need to be as rich as Mr. Beast to have studio quality dubs. Do it in one click using any of the following -
Now, on to the second most important pillar of social media – social media management. We predict that analytics-forward AI platforms will help creators streamline their social media and will also add a pinch of automation. It will -
Social Media Monitoring: AI tools like Brand24 can monitor your social media accounts and notify you of any new activities that require your attention, like important mentions.
Optimized Posting: Tools like Hootsuit AI can suggest the best times to post based on your audience's online activity. With accurate pattern recognition, it will also help ensure your posts have maximum reach and impact.
Personalized Messaging: Chatbots that personalize user experience are already the talk of the town. But did you know that they can help you send personalized messages to your network, answer certain queries with workflows, and provide 24/7 assistance?
Yes – CRAZY but true. Zapier AI and Manychat are good starting points if you’re a beginner.
Analytics and Reporting: AI has the capability to sift through your social media metrics, offering valuable insights about how your audience interacts and what they prefer.
For analytics and reporting to build your brand on social media with AI, consider Sprinklr's AI-powered tools. This suite offers insights from over 30 digital channels, integrating them into easy-to-understand reports for smarter decision-making.
By leveraging AI for social media management, you can save time and effort, improve your branding strategy, and engage with your audience more effectively.
How do you expect to grow a following if you’re not catering to what they want to consume?
AI boosts your brand by digging into big data to uncover what your audience loves and how they behave. Let's look at the different ways AI does this:
Predictive Analysis: AI tools like PredicHQ can examine past data to forecast upcoming trends and behaviors. This enables you to craft content or promotions tailored to what has worked in the past and future needs.
Lookalike Audiences: AI detects common traits within your current audience to form similar groups, broadening your influence and connecting you with people likely to resonate with your brand. Facebook Lookalike Audience might be where you want to start for this.
Sentiment Analysis: AI models are capable of going through online discussions to gauge emotional tone, enabling you to shape your communications to match the feelings and interests of your audience. We found Keyhole and Brandwatch do an excellent job at sentiment analysis.
Personalized Recommendations: AI tools for branding like Buffer Analyze can tailor personalized suggestions for your content by learning from your audience's likes and actions on social media.
This lets you foster deeper bonds and build your brand in the right direction.
So there you have it.
AI sure sounds like a great assistance in building a brand on social media.
These advanced AI platforms will -

Well, thanks to the recent wave of Gen AI, you don’t have to slog through that anymore.
Just upload the video and the algorithm will analyze the most important tidbits of information, do the splitting, and even ensure that the faces talking remain in main focus.

These philanthropic influencers are living proof that you can have your cake, eat it, and share it too.
From planting trees to empowering marginalized communities, they're using their privilege to make the world a better place, one click at a time.
We've all been there—scrolling through our social feeds and pausing on that one post that just catches our eye.
Ever wondered how some brands just seem to 'get it' when it comes to social media? They're not just present – they're absolutely killing it with their out-of-the-box campaigns.
And you know what they say, “Learn from the best” - If you’re also running a business or planning to market one on social media, you can’t miss out on this curated list of three standout brands that are acing their social game.
Let’s dive right in!
Ah, Dunkin'—the brand that's got us all running, not just for their coffee but to their social feeds too. John Costello, the CMO, wasn't kidding when he said, “It’s not just time to make the donuts — it’s time to go social.”
From the get-go, Dunkin' knew its audience—hello, Millennials and Gen Z! In 2017, Dunkin' got cozy with Amazon's Alexa. Coffee quiz, anyone? Fast forward to 2019, and we've got Dunkin' emojis and GIFs. Because who doesn't want a donut emoji in their life?
In other words, they jump on trends immediately and integrate their brand within. Branded Social is about relevant storytelling that integrates brand messaging in clever and fun ways.
From memes to influencer marketing - the brand has been all about Munchkins lately. We’re sure you can’t get tired of Ben Affleck saying, “Alright someone’s a jokahhh” with a donut—whoever came up with the idea of making Batman the brand ambassador totally deserves a promotion.
And if you thought that was cool, Dunkin' often turns their employees into TikTok ambassadors. Yep, you heard it right—they're not just serving coffee; they're serving content. Consumers like to see who is behind the scenes at a brand, making the content more relatable.
Their secret – Know your audience, embrace the trends, and never, ever forget to have fun.
Chipotle knows how to roll a burrito and a killer social media strategy. The brand started by jumping on BeReal, a rather new photo-sharing app at the time, during their Boorito campaign. Their philosophy – No ads, just organic love.
Result? A 1,000% YoY increase in BeReal installations and a massive boost in their brand awareness. (Source: Nation’s Restaurant News 2023)
Pandemic hits, Chipotle pivots. The brand didn't just guess what their fans wanted; they turned to social analytics to get the real scoop. By tuning into customer sentiments, they made data-driven decisions that hit the mark.
Again, being relevant in the newsfeed is key. Culture moves quickly, but Big Brands don’t. If you want to catch consumers’ attention, build relevant content that is on cultural trends.
Oh, and TikTok? They're nailing it. Partnering with Tariq, the corn-loving viral sensation, led to their highest-performing posts ever on both Instagram and TikTok. And if you're into Snapchat, Chipotle's got a lens that makes you exercise and meditate. Because, why not?
Yeti—the brand that's more than just a cooler — it's a lifestyle, a community, an adventure waiting to happen. Born from the passion of two brothers, Roy and Ryan Seiders, Yeti's sells their customers the dream of the great outdoors. (Source: Domingo Media 2023)
When TikTok came knocking, Yeti answered, and guess what? They didn't have to "behave like TikTok" to fit in. Paulie Dery, the Chief Marketing Officer, had a simple mantra: "Get on TikTok and behave like yourself." And it worked, racking up a massive following of 8.7 million.
From cinematic deep-dives to 150 outdoor enthusiasts repping the brand, Yeti's social game is as diverse as a cooler full of summer treats. Oh, and let's not forget their "Lost & Found" campaign—because sometimes, treasure washes ashore. See Yeti Ambassadors.
And wait, there's more. Pinterest, the platform you'd least expect, turned out to be a game-changer for Yeti. It helped shatter the stereotype and showed that Yeti can be for everyone, not just mountain men.
Yeti recently dropped their Power Pink Collection, a hue inspired by "finding your own line," as they like to say. And guess what? The color is already doing its magic. Their #BuildForTheWild campaign, featuring candid snaps of campers using the exclusive collection, has made this variant the unicorn of outdoor gear—always talked about, always sold out.
And as if that wasn’t cool enough, they rolled out the red carpet for 'The Ballad of Pecos Hank,' a cinematic masterpiece that's got everyone talking. The GOAT is what the world is calling it.
So, there you have it!
Social media isn't just about posting pretty pictures or catchy one-liners anymore.
The best brands on social media know themselves extremely well and have done extensive work on Brand DNA and Strategy. It makes everything else easy. They also experiment constantly to find the winning ideas while asking three core questions before each:
Is it relatable?
Does it offer value?
Is it on brand?
Have fun using this abridged playbook to build a better social media experience for your customers and your brand.
Got any questions? Our team at Socialtyze and its talented team of creators are happy to help with both strategy and content execution.
Do you want to invest further in social media and creators but are concerned that you may not get the return that you’re hoping for?
What’s the key to winning?
It’s all about crafting stories that entertain, inspire, and educate, while wrapping your brand around it like a warm hug.
Does this strategy boost sales? You bet it does, but only when executed the right way.
Let's take a look at three brands that are absolutely killing it, primarily thanks to their creator-driven campaigns on social media:
Liquid Death
Proudly calling itself "just a funny beverage company who hates corporate marketing as much as you do" – This cheeky drink brand knows how to make a splash – with marketing so quirky it could go viral as a meme.
Born in 2017 and packaged in planet-friendly aluminum, Liquid Death is laughing all the way to the bank, posting a $700 MM Valuation in just 5 years (Source: Bloomberg 2022).
From celebs like Wiz Khalifa to popular characters like The Deep, Liquid Death's collabs are as diverse as they are dazzling. Tailored to each star's vibe, these creator campaigns are hitting all the right notes one after the other.
Skateboard legend Tony Hawk keeps it real, while Cherie DeVille adds a dash of daring to the brand. It's not even just about star power - it’s the content that’s resonating with fans and stealing the show. And let's not forget, this brand's got a cheeky way of making you think twice about that plastic bottle.
Mike Cessario, The Founder of Liquid Death stated in an interview with Marketplace, "We’re trying to make health and sustainability 50 times more fun. Typically, all the most fun, hilarious marketing over the last 30 years is all for junk food — alcohol, energy drinks, candy. Like, what is the funniest campaign most people remember? It’s Bud Light, Snickers, Carl’s Jr., whereas healthy food doesn’t really ever market in that fun, irreverent, youth culture way."
Olipop
Say hello to Olipop, the fizzy drink that's giving Coke and Pepsi a run for their money! With a whopping $200 million in sales, this isn't your grandma's soda (Source: Axios 2023)
The brand has recently experienced its best business months ever, and the numbers are only going up! “The amount of people that now refer to us as ‘the TikTok soda’ is insane,” Steven Vigilante, Olipop’s head of new business development, stated in a conversation with Ad Age.
Vigilante also went on to say, “We’ve turned off all of our ad spend across every other social platform, so we’re just running ads on TikTok, forming creator partnerships, and making content for our organic page. TikTok is literally our entire strategy right now. And the last few months have been our best ever as a business after shutting off all of those other platforms.”
The best part? Olipop doesn't just partner with creators; it empowers them. From foodie in-house creator Sara Crane to the popular comic Juand Chan, Olipop grants its creator partners artistic freedom.
This authentic approach has led to posts tagged with #OLIPOPPartner outperforming all others, generating a staggering $25.4M EMV (Earned Media Value). (Source: AdWeek 2023)
Steve sums it up best: "Consumers don’t want health-related information too broadcasted... stressing too much the health component interrupts the indulgent part."
Poppi:
Talk about a brand that's popping! Poppi saw a jaw-dropping 148% revenue growth in the last year and a 250% surge in online sales. That's not growth; that's a boom! With a fresh infusion of $25 million led by CAVU, their total capital now exceeds $40 million. (Source: TechCrunch 2022)
Plenty of credit goes to Poppi’s famous "Soda's Back" creator campaign that turned heads all across social media – and trust us, it's not just fizz—it's a full-on fiesta! From local creators like chillandgrillwithhill to none other than J Lo herself, Poppi's fizz is getting the A-list treatment on TikTok!
And Poppi knows how to keep the conversation going, both online and offline. Their consumer-driven creator campaigns are a hit, especially among Gen Z and millennials.
The brand hit another viral gold when founder Ellsworth shared Poppi's origin story on TikTok. The post exploded, racking up thousands of likes and comments. That’s where the story begins. In the founder’s own words – “Our community is obsessed, rather than us writing copy about soda’s back, our communities were already saying it. So we decided to take that a step further and put them on a billboard.”
Still wondering whether the creator economy and social media can drive sales? Let these three brands be your answer. From Liquid Death's meme-worthy marketing to Olipop's TikTok takeover and Poppi's consumer-driven campaigns, it's clear: when creators and social media join forces, your brand doesn't just make noise—it makes bank!
So, are you ready to scale your brand the smart way?
