From Pumpkin Spice to Instagram Quizzes: Social Media Stunts You’ll Fall For

by lotus823 Staff

September 16, 2015

It seems like summer came and went in the blink of an eye – now the kids are going back to school and the days are slowly getting a little colder. As we all mourn the loss of warm beach weather, we can take comfort in knowing that the end of summer doesn’t mean the end of great social media content!

With the fall holidays coming up soon, brands are taking advantage of the opportunity to have fun with their content. Here are a few brands that you’ll want to keep an eye on, as the weather gets a little chillier:

Keep It Fun with a Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks

Nothing better than reading a great book atop a crunchy pile of leaves, letting the wind turn the pages for me. Thanks, wind. #YouDaRealMVP #HavingNoHandsIsHard #IDealThough #PSL

Following Starbucks’ big announcement to add real pumpkin to their Pumpkin Spice Latte (PSL) recipe, they launched a verified Instagram account to personify the PSL. By using relatable and trending hashtags with witty captions, Starbucks has taken a step away from their “high-end” stereotype to appeal to the millennials using social media.

Enjoy McDonald’s Breakfast All Day, Every Day

— McDonald’s (@McDonalds) September 1, 2015

Earlier this month, McDonald’s made everyone’s day a little bit better when they announced all-day breakfast would be coming to stores nationwide on 10/6. McDonald’s addressed previous Twitter complaints about not being open for breakfast all day and responded with clever gifs to spread word of their tasty news.

Hyundai’s Instagram Quiz Will Drive You Wild

Have you ever taken an Instagram quiz? Probably not since Hyundai just figured out how to make it happen. By using a series of Instagram accounts threaded together with multiple tags, Hyundai created a quiz to see which model of Hyundai best fit your style. Hyundai took a widely used social platform and made it seem more personalized for each participant. Along with the individuality provided from results, participants are sure to pass it along to friends to see if they have similar Hyundai personalities, further spreading the word and increasing Hyundai’s followership.

Building Community Over Followers: The New Social KPI Building Community Over Followers: The New Social KPI

by Ellen Cockrell

May 4, 2026

But today, that equation is shifting. Audiences are more discerning, algorithms are more complex, and attention is more fragmented than ever. A large following might...

  For decades, earned media has been considered the gold standard of public relations.

  Let’s start with a hard truth: Most one-off influencer marketing campaigns don’t deliver the ROI brands expect. They may generate impressions and short-term reach, and they may even look good on a report. But when it comes to building brand trust, driving meaningful engagement, and influencing purchasing decisions, campaign bursts often fall short. That’s...
