Have you heard of the newer social media apps BeReal, Poparazzi & VSCO? Learn more about these apps and how they can help with your marketing efforts.

BeReal - BeReal aims to fight materialism and filters, and instead be real! At a random time of day, the app will send you a notification saying you have 2 minutes to take a picture of where you are exactly.

Poparazzi - Deemed the “Anti Selfie Selfie Club”, Poparazzi relies on your friends to take random pictures of you and post them (with your permission of course!). Does this remind anyone of the times when we would take candid pictures of our friends? :blush:

VSCO - This photo-sharing app became popular in 2019 and 2020 with users who wanted to get away from the high-pressure environment of likes and potential negative comments.
