Throughout these November 2016 social media ideas, brands, celebrities and independent business owners are shown turning to platforms like Instagram, Snapchat and more to promote their products and services.
One example included that especially stands out is a collaboration between the LA County Museum of Art and Disney. Looking to get Millennials and Generation Z consumers participating more, the two created a Snapchat story that transformed classic art to reflect the plot of 'Beauty and the Beast.' In doing so, the LA County Museum of Art and Disney were able to reach over 30,000 viewers, as well as many who screen-shotted the images to share amongst their friends.
In another example that's included in this cluster of November 2016 social media ideas, Taco Bell came up with a puzzle game where users get pieces once posting with specific keywords and hashtags. Once they've collected all the pieces, they're rewarded with coupons that they can use through the company's connected ordering app.
