Amy Copperman | October 3, 2016 October 3, 2016 by Amy Copperman

This week in Spark storytelling showcases content marketing best practices, the power of video, and new ways independent musicians can promote themselves with visual media. Here are glimpses of our users’ online success plus the social media news you need to know this week.

Branding Opportunities Around Every Corner
@SimpleSimonandCo takes advantage of the new month to hit their audience with this cute quote from Anne of Green Gables. The nod to Anne’s simple, idyllic life is perfectly on-brand for this sewing, home-making duo, showing the exact right way to use nostalgic pop-culture to curate a brand online.

Indie Label Brings Back Album Art
Remember listening to an entire album while pouring over the cover until the paper all but disintegrated or buying CDs specifically for the included poster? As music moved online via streaming services, albums and their art have become increasingly divorced. But indie record label @Valholla creates album art for the digital age with Spark Page, meant to engage fans visually while they listen to the album, foster greater awareness for the artist, and promote album sales.
