Alex Rivera
Social Media Strategist
Social Trends Report
Alex began writing about social media in 2014, first covering early community trends and then tracking how paid platforms shifted from novelty to routine. He looks for the moments where a post becomes a conversation and a campaign feels like it belongs to a real audience.
He pays attention to the quiet signals: a comment thread that changes sentiment, a creative format that earns repeat attention, a Meta insight that actually moves the needle. Alex’s work is grounded in curious reporting, not buzzword-driven advice.
When he isn’t reading audience data, Alex is on a trail run or testing his latest espresso ritual. He brings the same energy to the page: disciplined, curious, and slightly stubborn about what actually works.

Jordan Blake
Content Growth Specialist
Social Trends Report
Jordan started paying attention to content growth in 2016, when most people still called it “organic reach.” Since then, they’ve traced the shift from platform-first tactics to audience-driven storytelling and have a soft spot for the ideas that build trust slowly.
Today Jordan focuses on the patterns behind shareable work: the phrasing that lands, the cadence that fits a social feed, the topic cluster that keeps readers coming back. Their writing is about practical signals, not quick tricks.
Outside of editing and testing, Jordan rides a bike through the city and helps nonprofit newsletters find their best voice. They write with the aim of making social media feel less chaotic and more dependable.

Mateo Silva
Meta Ads Expert
Social Trends Report
Mateo writes about the mechanics of paid attention without the usual performance marketer shorthand. He tracks the cultural signals behind Meta ads, the moments when a campaign feels like the audience is speaking back rather than being spoken to.
His work is interested in the overlap between paid media and social culture: what signal becomes a story, what format becomes a pattern, what creative becomes a conversation. He’s less interested in short-term wins than in the kinds of paid work that make platforms feel a little more human.
Off the record, Mateo hikes coastal trails and plays guitar late into the night. He reads ad platform updates the way some people read the news, always trying to decode what comes next.

Riley Morgan
Digital Marketing Director
Social Trends Report
Riley arrived in the social space from crisis communications, and the first lesson they learned was that steady publishing is the best protection against chaos. They write about how platforms behave during noisy moments and what that means for people who care about reputation.
Riley’s work is about systems more than stunts: listening strategies, editorial guardrails, and the kinds of content that make a brand sound like it knows its audience. They’re curious about the quiet, often invisible work that keeps attention from collapsing when something goes wrong.
When they’re not reading feeds, Riley is growing herbs on a rooftop and hunting down great espresso. Their favorite stories are the ones where social media earns trust by staying calm and clear.

Taylor Quinn
Social Media Manager
Social Trends Report
Taylor came into social publishing through editorial operations, and she still thinks of social media as serialized storytelling. She writes about the work behind the feeds: how ideas get organized, how narrative threads hold up, and how audiences are invited back.
She is interested in the formats that feel more like a thoughtful read than a noisy broadcast. Her writing focuses on tone, consistency, and the small design choices that make social commentary feel polished rather than performative.
When she isn’t planning a content rhythm, Taylor is training for a marathon or shooting film on the weekends. She’s drawn to work that blends visual sensibility with steady, repeatable cadence.
