Anchalee King is one of those social specialists who sees the internet differently — in angles, stories, textures, and emotional beats most people scroll past. As a Social Media Content Specialist, she blends instinct with craft, turning everyday moments into narrative gold.

1. What would your MySpace song be in 2025?
Old Recliners by Role Model. Something about the opening drums and guitar riff makes me feel like I'm driving a 60 Series Landcruiser through the mountains on a warm summer's evening.

2. Instagram or TikTok? Defend your answer.
TikTok. I never really know what I'm going to get, but their algorithm ropes me in everytime and satisfies all my moods in one sitting.

3. What's in your camera roll way too much?
Travel videos that I'm too tired to edit together to post.

4. A tool, app, or sneaky little shortcut you swear by?
Having a dedicated 'Brain Dump' page on the Notes app. Write down your thoughts and ideas as soon as you get them!

5. Most underrated social media skill?
Camera angles! You can change the mood of a photo or video just by playing with the angles. It can be the difference between simply capturing a moment and storytelling to evoke emotion.

6. If you could ban one trend forever, what would it be?
Fitness bros eating off chopping boards. I saw one eating rice from a chopping board, which seems like a logistical nightmare. I thought eating grilled bananas with turkey mince and blueberries was bad enough. The meals look like glorified dog food...on a chopping board.

7. Who are 3 brands/creators you’re vibing with right now?
Ken Sakata/Front Office. He's set a new standard for storytelling and educational content. I've followed him for years, and I've never tired of his content. He is proof that I still have an attention span because I will sit through a 3-minute video about the history of pocket designs on hunting jackets.
Queensland Health. No one is utilising trends and pop culture moments to their fullest potential like QLD Health. They are pros at a bait and switch.
Lucinda Price aka @frooomes. Always whimsical. Incredibly talented writer. Always at the edge of my seat, waiting for the next Substack, Guardian article, or video to bless my feed. Whatever it may be, I can feel her aura from 10 scrolls away.

8. Go-to comfort food after a chaotic day?
My mum's Thai chicken and rice (Khao Man Gai), which is Thailand's version of Hainanese chicken rice. She makes the most insane dipping sauce for it. Honestly, anything my mum makes. She's the best chef I know.

9. Best DM you’ve ever received (or sent)?
I messaged Clairo asking her to come tour in Australia, and a week later, she announced she was playing Laneway. Coincidence? I think not x

10. What’s your biggest ick on LinkedIn right now?
Being active on LinkedIn HAHA. Nah, posts where every sentence is on a separate line. It's the same way I feel about improvised jazz - all at once or not at all. Write your catchy headline and put the rest into normal paragraphs.

Q&A with Emma-Jaye Zappacosta

May 15, 2026

Emma-Jaye Zappacosta has spent more than a decade working in social media, and her perspective cuts through a lot of the noise currently flooding the industry. In this Q&A, she talks about why brands need to stop treating posting as the finish line, how comment sections have become one of the most important growth levers in social, and why the strongest content strategies are built on distinctiveness — not trend-chasing. It’s thoughtful, sharp, and full of the kind of insights that only come from someone who’s actually done the work.

Q&A with Camille Safadi

May 8, 2026

There’s a lot of content being made right now. Most of it looks the same. Same formats. Same ideas. Same AI-assisted variations of what’s already worked for someone else. Camille Safadi’s approach is a bit different. Find what resonates, double down on it, and evolve it instead of starting from scratch. Because when something already works, the smartest move isn’t to replace it. It’s to build on it. Simple. But most brands still get it wrong.
