Social Sessions: How DMs, Community & “How I” Content Are Changing the Game
In this Social Sessions episode of Coffees and Content, I’m back with the incredible Amy (@amzdicko) from The Social Summit for round two - and we're diving into the conversations that matter most right now in digital marketing.
We’re unpacking:
- Why your DMs are more powerful than your feed (and how Amy sold out her conference using them)
- The Instagram update I’ve been waiting for (hello, voice note transcripts 🙌)
- Whether Instagram is still worth your time in 2025 (spoiler: it depends on your goal)
- Why UGC is evolving and what brands really want now
- The shift from how-to to how-I content - and why personal storytelling is outperforming polished strategy
If you’ve been feeling like your content isn’t cutting through, your audience feels flat, or you’re questioning what’s actually working right now… this one’s for you.
You’ll also get a behind-the-scenes look at the Social Summit 2025 (and a sneaky community discount too).
Let’s get into it.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:
- How to sell without “selling” using DMs
- Why EGC (employee-generated content) might be the new UGC
- What’s actually impacting your Instagram reach (plus real stats)
- The power of sharing personal stories, not just tips
- The platforms I’m focusing on for visibility vs conversions
