Social  Media  Assessment:  The  social  media  for  the  brand  has  essenBally  been  dead  for  the  last  6  months.  At  present  Bme  Instagram  seems  to  yield  the  highest  engagement  rates,  although  Facebook  also  seems  like  an  effecBve  pladorm  for  our  goals.  Twiber  should  be  considered  to  be  disconBnued  unBl  more  managers  arrive,  in  order  to  focus  efforts  on  Instagram  and  Facebook.
