There are people that have built a strong brand name using social media. Gretta van Riel, founder of ‘SkinnyMe Tea’, was able to reach 16 million followers on Instagram by making use of several micro-influencers.

Creating a catchy phrase and building a movement behind it on social media is another way that has helped many brands, by creating a movement you make people stick to your brand.

Another brand, Sunny Co Clothing, a swimwear producing company, created a funnel on social media. They started a campaign informing everyone on Instagram that they can get a free swimsuit if they reposted an image and tagged them.

You should be patient when growing your brand, It took Gretta months to grow her brand.
