After four months here at Honeypot Marketing, I’m pleased to say that I’ve learned a lot. Notably, I’ve learned more about digital marketing in these 16 weeks than in 2.5 years of my business degree, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice to work here at Honeypot. While I could review all of the […]
As my term at Honeypot comes to a close, I thought it would be useful for other students to hear about what life has been like as a Digital Marketing Intern. I’ve been at Honeypot for four months now and am reluctant to return to school. This has easily been the most valuable term in […]
This week, I’m going to call out brands for addressing social issues in advertising. More specifically, I’m going to talk about why brands need to be careful when trying to address sensitive topics, and we’re going to look at examples of failures of this. The Good Before we look at some major flops, let’s take […]
Your brand might have a social media presence, but are you really being social enough? Join the Conversation What do I mean by “Join the Conversation”? Essentially all I’m referring to is keeping up with current trends, holidays, and breaking news in order to contribute to the hashtag discussions on social media. If there are […]
I recently spent time designing a landing page for an e-commerce client. When we reviewed it internally, it was redesigned by Dan, our Growth-Hacker-in-Chief and our Traffic Team.

Check out @DanielWellington or @DiscoverEarth to see fantastic examples of profiles made up of (mostly) their followers’ content. This strategy is very powerful, yet underused. […]
Having few attendees at your business’ event can make you feel like a child whose friends didn’t show up to their birthday party. It sucks. You may have created a Facebook event and asked people to invite their friends, but frankly, that might not be enough. Depending on the nature of your business and […]
Before coming to Honeypot Marketing, I thought that the main function of a marketing agency was to run paid traffic for the client by using in-depth secrets on how to perfectly optimize Facebook and Google ads. Although there’s a lot of that going on around here, there’s also a lot more straightforward—yet effective—things that we […]
*** Updated 2020 *** As someone who’s gained over 400,000 followers on Instagram (across three accounts), I’m going to explain how the pros scale their accounts. Instagram is a powerful marketing tool, and you’re missing out if you aren’t harnessing its power. Please note that this guide builds on top-notch content quality, which should be […]
Story Time This week at Honeypot we had an inquiry from a lady who wanted to boost her business with Instagram. She was 60 years old and had been spending the last few months tediously studying the platform. This was admirable! However, I don’t think it was the best use of her time. Instagram is […]
This week I spent a great deal of time reviewing roadmaps on Marketer Knows, led by the one and only Andrew Webb. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Marketer Knows, it’s essentially a content library (currently in beta) that provides marketers with step-by-step guides on how to do everything related to digital marketing.
