Social media like Facebook is filled with posts by homestays, getaways and villas inviting holiday-goers to book weekends away from home. Work-from-Home has slowly given way to work from a home-away-from-home. What’s great is the opportunity for promotions that platforms like Facebook can give to brands like these!

That’s the treat that social media gives to startups across the sectors. Holiday homes are typically low-budget options because they don’t have the overheads of large-scale hotels. So direct exposure on social media is a must-do for digital marketing activity.

Social media would hardly be the same if it wasn’t for digital creators flexing their creative muscles through the day. It’s the memes, reels, videos and all of that that’s making platforms like Instagram, Facebook and Twitter entertaining.

Entertaining 4 million followers and counting is Mumbai-based brand Mostly Sane. Not a stranger to any millenial Instagram user, Mostly Sane started out as YouTube channel by then amateur comic, Prajakta Koli.

Facebook is a place which has given so many brands their spots under the sun. It has also given so many causes a stage to speak from. As many as there are consumerist brands, there are brands that are working towards causes that champion greater common good.

From gender rights to child protection and climate change – social media vehicles like Facebook have been the engines to promote change.

Facebook has had the privilege of having some of the most inspiring entrepreneur stories on its platform. In a matter of 12-odd years, millions of brands have been born and bred here. These have grown into global names. One such is Wild Earth. The success story of this brand has inspired many others who may or may not even be in the same category of products.
