Q&A with Jackson Berry

Jackson Berry is the kind of social operator who cuts through noise by focusing on the basics most brands still ignore: usefulness, intent, and respect for the platform. As a Senior Content & Social Media Manager, he’s doubled down on content that actually helps people — the kind that gets saved, shared, and revisited long after the scroll.

1. What’s one social strategy you’ve doubled down on this year that’s actually moved the needle?
Content that actually helps the audience. Content that educates resonates with your audience and provides value straight away.

2. What’s a mistake you see brands making on socials right now that’s quietly killing reach or engagement?
Collaborating with influencers/creators on a transactional basis. It should be long-term partnerships that are a win for everyone involved including their audience.

3. What’s the metric you care about most and why?
Saves - Something you need to consciously check, shows how helpful and relevant your content actually is. Create for saves and the rest of the metrics will follow for sure.

4. What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given about content or creativity?
Content purpose built for the platform, no platform is the same and they should be treated differently.

5. What’s the worst advice you followed for way too long?
Hashtags work 👀

6. What book, album, podcast, or creator has quietly shaped how you think about your work?
505 podcast - mainly focused on solo creators but a lot of good insights brands can use.

7. What’s a habit or rule in your workflow that keeps you sane and consistent?
Time blocked the **** out of my calendar (and actually work by it, trust me)

8. If you had to explain your content strategy to a non-marketer in one sentence, what would you say?
Value, value, value. Seems obvious. Provide so much value that people forget your a brand, or that your selling something.

9. What’s something about working in socials that doesn’t get talked about enough?
The screen time racking up on your phone.

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.
