February & March:

Our organic social media content performed well during the end of summer and autumn. Our audience engages well with posts giving ideas of things to do around the West Coast, as well as scroll-stopping scenery images/videos and hidden gems. On Instagram, Reels drive most of the traffic, attracting new followers, while on Facebook, photo posts currently work better.
