Hannah Bronfman Has Some Tips For Acing Social Media
Hannah Bronfman has some simple advice for gaining visibility and viral recognition on social media.
“Hone your voice, know your audience, and make that connection very real,” the DJ told Cheddar. “I don't think there’s any tricks or gimmicks. You never want to say the same story twice.”
The opportunity for social media influencers is a big one: some estimate the market is worth more than $1 billion.
Bronfman, with more than a half million followers across her social media platforms, recently nabbed partnerships with Tampax, Amex, and Adidas. She credits her Instagram presence with helping her land those deals.
But crafting a career out of social media, she says, isn’t a walk in the park.
“It is extremely time consuming, I’m not going to lie,” Bronfman noted. “Especially when you’re creating content for yourself, a site, and other people. It becomes a lot.”

According to the National Center for Transgender Equality, Hollywood has been falling short on financial support for transgender-specific organizations despite some improvements in on-screen representation. Actor and producer Scott Turner Schofield, the founder of the consultancy Speaking of Transgender, joined Cheddar to note that rather than focusing on the dearth of donor dollars itself, fixing media representation helps fund those service groups, even if the money isn't yet flowing. "If you ask people, 'are trans people more visible in media,' everybody is going to say yes because it's very clear, but are there commercials for those direct service organizations? No. That's something you'll get from social media — maybe — if you're following people," Schofield said.
