It no longer takes years and millions of dollars to gain the attention of millions of people around the world. And no longer is this attention limited to major corporations, mainstream brands, or celebrities—now virtually anyone’s content can reach millions of people.

However, with more than 60 billion messages sent on digital platforms each day, those who want to gain mass exposure need a growth strategy and need to know how to best take advantage of the numerous social platforms available.
