    I think about these questions too\u2026\u00a0can\u2019t wait to follow this thread.<\/p>

    Agree with the top down approach\u2026\u00a0when execs are on there, then rest of employee base gets a little FOMO and it encourages them to make it a habit to check on the tool. That being said, it\u2019s been hard\u00a0to get execs involved. I did get our CMO to record a welcome video for our training and we try to get a spot on the agenda at\u00a0companywide all-hands calls at least once a year. My tool lets me send out a weekly newsletter, so I try to update that weekly, sending out personal branding tips, highlighting new ways to use the tool, and\u00a0I\u2019ll often call out the top five users. Hoping to interview them and host Q&A style content and make quote graphics around why they\u2019re on the tool and make that a regular part of the newsletter as well.\u00a0<\/p>

    As for metrics, I look at input at output. I need to make sure I\u2019m uploading a regular stream of content and I really care about the percentage of branded to unbranded content. Monthly active user rate is what keeps me up at night. How do we get our employee base to become regular tool users. I send out emails to those who haven\u2019t logged in within a month to provide a nudge. I also look at Google Analytics because when our employee base shares blogs, webinars and the like, those get 3x more click throughs than when the brand shares similar. And once they\u2019re on our site, they spend 4x more time and visit 4x more pages and are 2x more likely to convert. So to show the power of these clicks in context really wows the c-suite. Internally, I\u00a0look at what content gets those high metrics so I can look at doing more of that.\u00a0<\/p>

    Trying to get a swag program launched. While I can do t-shirts and water bottles, also looking at including a lunch with an executive, a LinkedIn review by your manager\u2019s manager, and other non-swaggy rewards. In our remote\/virtual world, looking at Etsy artists on unique interpretations of our logo as art pieces that could be hung on the wall behind desks. I also make sure to like their posts within Twitter and LinkedIn, so they see in their notifications that their efforts are being noticed.

I\u2019m not one\u00a0to be idle.\u00a0 As I was asked to assume the role of \u201cSocial Media Guy\u201d in my company with no prior experience, my focus (insistence, really) on\u00a0education has been effectively non-stop for six years. Endless seminars, webinars, online classes etc for countless subjects, all in an effort not just to excel at my job, but to truly make a difference in the future of my company.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

Here\u2019s the problem:\u00a0 there is precious little \u201cadvanced\u201d education out there. The vast majority of online courses are focused - nay fixated - on the basic architecture and implementation of the\u00a0application, be it Facebook, Instagram,\u00a0Google Analytics and the like.\u00a0 I need more, and I know of very few places to get it.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

So, far here\u2019s my list of resources I consider potentially \u201cAdvanced\u201d:<\/p>

Facebook Ads: Jon Loomer\u2019s \u201cPower Hitters Club\u201d<\/p>

Analytics: Trust Insights \u201cSo What\u201d videos on YouTube & measurementmarketing.io<\/p>

Google Ads: CXL.com (Potentially)<\/p>

Copywriting: Also, CXL<\/p>

Pinterest\/Twitter: NO Earthly Clue<\/p>

Presentation\/Data Vis Skills (NEED THOSE): Absolutely, unequivocally, no idea<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

So, now that you\u2019ve read my diatribe, whatcha think? Who do you trust for advanced\u00a0education?<\/p>

Don\u2019t get me wrong...I\u2019m all for the \u201clearn by doing\u201d mantra, and I am - but education is the far faster route to understanding the potential of a thing.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know what I don\u2019t know.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

Ya know?<\/p>

Hi All,

I\u2019m looking to see if anyone has ever had the issue where one of the business pages they\u2019ve inherited is owned by an account\u00a0you don\u2019t have access to?\u00a0
I\u2019m an admin on the page, but it\u2019s giving me issues with syncing our instagram, because it says I need an admin from the account that owns the page to approve.

We\u2019ve sent a request but it\u2019s quite possible all the accounts associated with the account that owns the page are dormant or no longer active.\u00a0

Curious if anyone\u2019s had an issue like this, or any suggestions on how to resolve?\u00a0\u00a0
