As 2016 continues to march right along, it is becoming more and more obvious how important short-form content in the form of photos and 10 second videos... from Snapchat photos and video becoming part of a brand's Snapchat Story , to the re-purposing of these videos onto Instagram and Vine , and from there onto  Facebook , Tumblr and Twitter , the world of frequently updated quick and simple photos and video continues to rewrite the rules for how brands large and small are keeping themselves relevant in front of their LGBT consumers today.

As 2016 continues to march right along, our social media marketing strategy has continued to adapt, as new platforms including Snapchat and Periscope continue to take center-stage in their evolving growth and new-found usefulness in the business world of online marketing.  In addition, new, more subtle techniques in how posts are commented on, shared and "boosted" with a paid, sponsored push are fast becoming some of the top cutting-edge marketing techniques used to help ensure that at least some of a brand's social media content rises to the top and is seen in the highly competitive Facebook news feed, as well as the newly programmed Twitter and Instagram news feeds that all now focus on content that is considered more relevant to the online consumer.
