After carrying out research into social media platforms and our competitors usage of each it has given me a clear view of each platform, what others use them for, the interaction changes, activity and interest. From carrying out this research it has also given me a better vision as to what i wish VOIX magazines social media platform to look like, aesthetic wise but also content and interaction.

Just but having basic social media statistics it gives a clear understanding of the ages that use each one, what type of users they each attract and how much each are used daily, making it easier for us to match the correct one to our target market.

Even something as simple as looking at the follower count on each social media platform for our brands competitors.The number of followers on Instagram are much higher then other platforms, reaching a wider audience, and creating a high amount of interaction on each post. Twitter getting around 200 were as Instagram can gain up to 2,000 likes. Therefor i believe as are starting new as a brand we need to build a following and interest and the best way to do that with the magazine is through interest. And will develop on with more platforms once there is a higher number of interest.
