We're breaking down the misconceptions about the dreaded algorithm in this episode - not in an effort to go viral, but rather so that you can show up authentically on social media. The fact is, we need these social media platforms to help get the word out about our projects, but that often means playing by their rules - and providing content that satisfies the audience that hangs out in that digital space.  So how do you figure out what works best for you and your creative projects, without getting frustrated with the algorithm's biases and choices? In this episode we help you strike the right balance between being authentic to your creative brand, style and goals, while also using the best strategies of social media posting so that you get the maximum exposure and growth from your channels.
