Lewis Capaldi is the Best Type of Celebrity and Here are 11 Moments to Prove That

Lewis Capaldi, for those of you living under a rock, is a massively successful, 22 year old, Scottish singer song writer.

He is best known for his single, “Someone You Loved”, which spent 7 weeks at #1 on the UK charts and reached #1 on the US Billboard Hot 100.

Lewis is not like other celebrities. Amidst his success and incredible talent he is humble, hilarious and most of all does not take himself too seriously. Here are 11 examples of why he is the best kind of celebrity.

1. His Campaign to be “America’s Sweetheart”

Capaldi began a social media campaign to try to get his single, “Someone You Loved,” to #1 on the US charts.

2. His Red Carpet Poses

Seen in the above pictures at the Brit Awards and the Grammy’s – he was nominated for awards at both – he finds a way to have fun and be himself. His disregard for the standard stiff celebrity poses and blank stares are refreshing and amusing to see.

3. When he Talked About Chicken Parmesan on the Grammy’s Red Carpet

Honestly same.

4. His Hilarious Tweets

These are just a peak into the amazingly funny twitter of Lewis Capaldi.

5. His Parodying of Typical Celebrity Culture

Many of the things Capaldi does are entirely ironic and make fun of all the things celebrities are known to do and be .

6. When he Attempted to Translate American Slang

It’s hard to listen to his aggressively Scottish accent and understand how his singing voice is as beautiful as it is.

7. His Reaction to being Nominated for 4 Brits

I think we can all agree that most celebrities first thought when finding our they’re nominated for 4 Brit awards isn’t to have a photo shoot in the bathroom.

8. When he Revealed who “Someone You Loved” was About

I can never listen to this song the same way again…

9. These Pictures

You can’t look at those pictures and tell me you don’t already love him.

10. His Adorably Hilarious Friendship with Niall Horan

Niall and Lewis are clearly the best of friends are going on North American tour together spring of 2020.

11. His Insane Talent

Last and definitely not least, Lewis Capaldi is an incredibly talented singer and songwriter which is easy to tell when watching any of his live performance.

So basically, Lewis Capaldi’s ironic humor is changing the way celebrities portray themselves and his amazing voice and lyrics are not going anywhere anytime soon.

The 5 Essential Things for Social Media Marketers to Remember in 2020

Over the past years social media marketing has changed drastically and 2020 is no different. As expected, social media will continue to grow dramatically and it is marketers’ job to adapt to the changing tides and give their consumers what they want. Whether it be all mobile marketing, video advertisements on social, or increased product information on social – the way brands treat marketing will once again change in 2020. Below are the five essentials that social media marketers should be aware of going into 2020.

1. Social Media is Only Getting Bigger

Marketers to other social media platforms now that Instagram is taking over

In 2020, social media usage will only continue growing. In 2017, 1 million people joined social media platforms every single day. One social platform that will see increased dominance is Instagram. It will quickly evolve over the next few years and become the new home for brands. It is key that marketers understand the power of social media for marketing purposes, especially Instagram.

2. Socials & Visuals are New Tools for Product Research

Social Media becoming the new tool for product research

Almost half of internet users follow brands they like – but how do they discover things about the brand or products? Generally in the United States, internet users primarily use search engines, but in 2020, we will see social media begin to become the primary tool for product research. Other upcoming trends for primary research will be visual searches and voice control. 2020 will begin the trends of pictures over keywords when it comes to product research. All these new ways of research will dramatically change how consumers discover products and create a new set of digital behaviors that forces marketers to adapt to.

3. The Rise of Social Media Videos for Brands

Me to marketers who only use social video to chase traffic

Video is a much easier medium than text to learn about products and communicate online. The opportunity for social video has only begun and its impact will be broad. Consumers will begin to require “one-to-one” relationships with companies that build a customer community rather than broadcast style content and product teasers. While social videos can boost traffic, chasing traffic and adapting to the whims of social algorithms isn’t a winning strategy. Brands need to build a group of loyal followers and create video content catering to them.

4. Social CEOs become the New Normal

CEOs who understand how to use social media effectively

In 2020 we will see the impact of employers’ branding and the rise of executives who understand how to use social to listen to customers, communicate their vision and rally employees. Large organizations will realize in 2020 that employee comments and perceptions on social will need to be managed just like customers’ complaints and feedback. Leaders need to adapt their communication styles to be personal, unscripted and direct to fit the social climate of 2020.

5. Markets Innovate with Mobile

Marketers now that Mobile is taking over

Facebook predicts that by 2020 more people will have mobile phones than running water or electricity at home. For some consumers mobile will be the only way to get online. Messaging Apps, Mobile Banking and of course mobile social media platforms will all be very relevant in 2020. Due to these predictions, digital communication will change dramatically in 2020 and it is companies’ job to keep up. Brands need to rethink their strategies and adapt quickly to the changing mobile world.

Social media in 2020 will be an integral part to marketers ability to reach consumers. Those five essentials were taken from a report by Hootsuite. To read the full article click here. Do you think these five essentials will be the new trends? Comment down below and tell us what you think.

Introduce Yourself (Example Post)

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

  • Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
  • Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

  • Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
  • What topics do you think you’ll write about?
  • Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
  • If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
