For founders starting or growing a social media presence, making progress can often be paralysis by analysis.

Which platform should you build on? What sort of content should you post? Should you focus on a personal brand or a business brand?

In today’s episode, Triple Whale’s Head of Social, Tommy Clark, answers all these questions — and a whole lot more.

Tommy also shares his thoughts on the most important skill for social media growth, why blending in might make more sense than standing out, and how he recommends content creators change their strategy after scaling past 50k followers.
