June & July:

Our organic social media content performed well during the early winter, supporting the paid Winter campaign, especially with seasonal content like winter scenery and hot tubs. Our audience engages particularly well with posts suggesting activities around the West Coast in a list format, as these add more value and can be saved for later. Additionally, scroll-stopping scenery contributes to higher engagement.
