Engaging Social Media Strategies for Public Information

In today's episode, I have an incredible conversation with Aimee (@utahtransportation 147k), the social media manager for the Utah Department of Transportation. We dive into how her team transformed a typically mundane and often frustrating topic—road closures and construction—into a viral, share-worthy social media presence.

Aimee breaks down the five key types of shareable content that drive engagement, explains the importance of relatability and humor in creating content, and shares her strategy for leveraging memes, timely trends, and audience insights to educate and entertain. She also talks about overcoming leadership concerns about professionalism and provides actionable tips for content creators looking to connect with their audience and build trust, no matter their niche.

Even if you're not a social media manager, this episode is still jam packed with actionable advice for ALL creators - so don't miss it!
