The task of creating content that can go viral may seem nearly impossible. However, I believe that with the power of Twitter Ads, my Twitter network, and the Imgur community, I was able to accomplish my goals and more. My objective heading into this viral content challenge was to drive viewers to my meme on imgur […]
Read more "The Unimpressed Dog that Impressed the Internet"We can all agree that this election, if nothing else, has been polarizing to our communities. However, the most clear indication of this divide can be found through a quick hashtag search on Twitter. #NotMyPresident has sparked mounds of 140-character expressions of dissent from both sides (or, all 3 sides, if you’re still #WithGary) […]

Since the election a week ago, millennials have been up in arms and trying to make their voices heard in the uproar of the aftermath of the results of the election.

Read more "The “#dcpswalkout” is just the beginning for this millennial revolution"Only a week after the Presidential election, people still have a lot to say about the candidates. #Trump2016 remains a trending hashtag on twitter for both supporters and those who claim he is “not my president.” Obama played his race card.
