Q1 Please tell us about your career path. How did you become co-founder of @Drumupio?
Running a content marketing agency @godotmedia for 7+ years, where we realized how critical was content discovery to content creation.
@SophiaSolanki were you a founder of that agency too? #vcbuzz

Yes, I run @godotmedia as well. Taught us a lot about content and social marketing pain points & need for automation.
We built drumup.io as a powerful content discovery engine firm where content could be curated & created straight up.

Q2 What was the initial idea of @Drumupio? Why did you think the market needed it?
So many small businesses struggle with finding content to share. It’s a huge pain point that I’ve experienced firsthand… So we thought it’ll be awesome if tech could simplify the whole process of finding and sharing content. And our users loved it.
So easy to share! liking @drumupio so far! #vcbuzz

It’s an awesome team effort from @drumupio @godotmedia – hard to achieve anything without a great team’s support!

Q4 What co-launching your own start up taught you about entrepreneurship?
It’s a hell of a balancing act ? – you walk a tight rope and learn a lot about people, be it customers, team or partners.
Nothing gives you a better adrenaline rush than a happy customer #customersuccess trumps all.
Q5 What other social media marketing tools do you use and recommend?
- @Canva for creating pretty graphics
- @viralcontentbuz for increasing content reach
- @brand24 for social analytics
How do you expect social media marketing to evolve in the next couple of years and do you have any tips if it does? #vcbuzz
— Joseph Onibokun (@josephonibokun) November 1, 2016
Social is going increasingly visual & a lot of focus will be on this to catch your audience’s attention.
@josephonibokun more visual storytelling, marketing of “moments”, more streaming video. Think Snapchat, instagram, etc. #vcbuzz
— Ann Smarty (@seosmarty) November 1, 2016
Marketing automation will help businesses interact more, faster and smarter. That’s a big uptrend too.
@josephonibokun To cope, marketers will have to tell real stories. no more anonymous brand presence! #vcbuzz
— Ann Smarty (@seosmarty) November 1, 2016
Agreed! That’s going to be super important. #realstories #vcbuzz https://t.co/1z0JpO6AHf
