April & May:
Our organic social media content performed well during the autumn, particularly seasonal content such as the blue mushrooms, cozy pubs, and waterfall scenes. It's also worth noting that all our best-performing posts were carousels featuring multiple photos. Our audience engages particularly well with posts suggesting activities around the West Coast, as well as with scroll-stopping scenery images/videos and hidden gems.
