Sharing engaging content is a key element, but so too is creating and presenting an authentic brand and maintaining that throughout all company channels. Although social media usage seems to increase daily, especially during the pandemic, it seems as though there has been a shift in the way users expect to engage and connect with one another online. Instead of seeking out idyllic, curated content which is seemingly \u2018perfect\u2019, users are opting to find platforms in which they can be themselves, no filters required. With the rise of apps such as <a href=\"https:\/\/bere.al\/en\">BeReal<\/a>, and the growing popularity of the \u2018photo dump\u2019 on Instagram, businesses are encouraged to keep it real both on and offline with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teclan.com\/design-services\/branding\/\">authentic branding<\/a> and content.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-326927a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"326927a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Keeping It Real Online<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6a2edc9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6a2edc9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In a world where people are so used to seeing, and sharing, perfectly filtered moments and carefully curated highlights, it is easy for brands to entrap themselves in the same trend on social media. To \u2018keep it real\u2019 by sharing authentic moments with your audience, while representing your brand in a positive and engaging way may seem like going against the grain. The recent growth in following of major influencers and brands thanks to their candid moments speaks volumes so companies are now encouraged to let their brand speak for themselves through unedited, raw content online. <strong>Internet users are actively seeking outlets to share real moments with one another <\/strong>which has been highlighted by the rapid growth in smartphone app \u2018BeReal\u2019.<\/p><p>Founded in 2019, the app not only encourages users to be authentic, but in fact requires authenticity. Smartphone users who have downloaded the app are prompted by a notification once per day (at any time) to upload a photo right there and then to share with their friends. Upon opening the app, users have two minutes to upload the shot which takes both a selfie and front-facing photo simultaneously. The concept of the app is simple: in a world where it is hard to tell when pictures, or videos, have been edited, and in which people only tend to show highlights of their lives, BeReal allows users to candidly be themselves. And it\u2019s caught on. With approximately 10.7 million app installations to date (according to Sensor Tower), April was a record month which saw a user increase of 157% from March. It is clear to see then that there is <strong>an appetite for relatability and authentic branding<\/strong> on social media, especially among younger audiences.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1a08143 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1a08143\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Photo Dumps and Candid Content<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5f67a09 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5f67a09\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>It\u2019s not just the increasing use of BeReal that has highlighted a desire for authentic interaction online. Despite being one of the most popular social media platforms, Instagram does not come without its own criticisms. The app has often been slandered as the root of growing self-image concerns among young people, having a negative impact on the mental health of its users. However, the new trend of the \u2018photo dump\u2019 on Instagram which typically involves the uploading of multiple unposed, unedited camera shots and videos, further reflects a shift in attitude towards online content.<\/p><p>With the ever-increasing popularity of TikTok, in part thanks to numerous lockdowns, it has been interesting to note which creators have had the highest engagement or follower growth over the course of the past couple of years. Many have shot to fame thanks to their unfiltered, candid content. The likes of Brittany Broski in the US has amassed almost seven million followers on TikTok <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@brittany_broski\/video\/7087299101494234411?is_copy_url=1&amp;is_from_webapp=v1\">due to her candid content<\/a> resonating with people and making them laugh, while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@hayleygeorgiamorris?lang=en\">Hayley Morris<\/a> has grown her following by millions during the pandemic thanks to her comedy sketches in which she discusses relatable, usually \u2018taboo\u2019, topics. But what does this shift in attitude mean for businesses?<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ea0558b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ea0558b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Human Approach In Business<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-07be4c8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"07be4c8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The trend of relatable and authentic content is not solely limited to online influencers and their audiences.

Brand consistency is the ability to deliver consistent messaging and design across all platforms over time. If you are consistent, you are more likable and dependable. Audiences are not na\u00efve and tend to trust those who do not change at the drop of a hat, so when a business has a strong brand presence, audiences will be able to spot when a company is not being truly authentic. In order to maintain a consistent brand, it is <strong>crucial to develop a set of <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.teclan.com\/client_case_studies\/blueridge\/\"><strong>brand guidelines<\/strong><\/a> that outline every aspect of your brand strategy that includes your logo, colour scheme, tagline, typography and key messaging.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-49cac19 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"49cac19\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What Are The Benefits Of Authentic Branding?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-05b2095 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"05b2095\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Humans are fuelled by emotion, and research has continuously proven that feelings often score high over logic when it comes to developing brand loyalty. As demonstrated by the growth in following of brands and creators posting relatable content online, audiences are keen on ideas that touch an emotional nerve. We begin to trust brands who speak to us on a human level. Not only are customers more likely to buy from brands they trust, but they are also willing to pay more for products and services.
