True Colors: What Your Brand Colors Say About Your Business [Infographic] | B2B Marketing

True Colors: What Your Brand Colors Say About Your Business [Infographic] | B2B Marketing: "The most prominent brands in the world are defined by their colors. Think of McDonald’s golden arches, the name Jet Blue, and UPS’ slogan, “What can Brown do for you?” These companies, and many others, strategically use colors in their logo, website, and product to appeal to customers. As a B2B marketer, it’s important to think about how you utilize colors and what the colors you choose say about your business.



Research has found that different colors provoke very different reactions in people. Marketo choose to use the color Purple for branding because at the time Marketo was founded, purple was relatively un-used. Additionally, purple represents wealth, royalty, and richness which also has associations to leadership and revenue. Integrating your brand colors in your logo, landing pages, product, and more will help you achieve the highest impact. We put the rainbow under a microscope to find out how each color can help you connect with your consumers."

Facebook 2014 — A Year in Review - Hootsuite Social Media Management

Facebook 2014 — A Year in Review - Hootsuite Social Media Management: "Facebook is the biggest social network in the world, and they definitely showed their influence in 2014. Massive acquisitions, big moves into other industries and big changes to their algorithm made for a newsworthy year.



Have a look at some of what kept Facebook in the headlines in 2014:

The product

The story of Facebook’s product this year was, in their words, to adapt Facebook in order to better represent the interests of the users.

When a person or business explicitly requests likes, shares and comments to increase the engagement around their Facebook posts, without actually providing any content of value, Facebook dubs these types of posts “Like-Baiting.” After a survey showed Facebook users rated these posts as 15 percent less relevant than other content with the same level of engagement, Facebook made algorithm changes to suppress like-baiting in the News Feed."
