I was saying to my team today that it seems like social media (specifically TikTok and Reels) is becoming a cesspool of trending CapCut videos. It's hard to find original content these days. Another great read by @jappleby ⬇️ – at Brookline, MA

Here’s a take: I think some brands have become so reliant on ~trends~ that they’ve forgotten who they are. They’re making content that gets empty engagement & won’t ever draw an audience that’d actually convert. I wrote about it. futuresocial.beehiiv.com/p/b…

Brands: take a break from trend content

Get back to brand basics

Today on #OneBostonDay 💛💙, we honor and remember those whose lives were impacted by the tragic #BostonMarathon bombing 10 years ago, including Lu Lingzi, a student who was earning a graduate degree in mathematics and statistics.

The Embrace, a 22-foot-tall bronze sculpture of interlocking arms that commemorates Martin Luther King, Jr. (GRS’55, Hon.’59) and his wife, Coretta Scott King—who met while King was a student at BU—will be unveiled today at the Boston Common. Details ➡️ spr.ly/60193VHjJ
