As the Head of Social at ClickUp, Chris Cunningham set one goal for himself this year of getting ClickUp to 200 million impressions per month across all social platforms.

So far, they are halfway there with 100 million impressions per month, and their success has come from doing the exact opposite of all the normal social marketing “best practices”.

In this episode of 95% Content hosted by Erik Jacobson (CEO of hatch.fm), Chris shares his social content playbook that is primarily designed to build affinity and trust with future buyers before they are ever in market for a solution like ClickUp (so that when they are in market, ClickUp is already their number one choice to explore).
