In “Hook Point,” Brendan Kane tells the story of working with Taylor Swift to amplify her social media presence.
Kane started working with her by listening to what she wanted.

​
After meeting with her agent, then her parents, he earned the right to meet with her.

​
At the time, she had a huge presence on MySpace.

​
Yes, Taylor Swift built her empire by posting on MySpace.

​
She loved posted her own content but at the time, websites were not easy to update.

​
She had to send content to her website developer who would post the content a few days later.

​
Understanding her frustration, Kane build an easy-to-update website.

​
When he met with her, he showed her how she could update her website in seconds.

​
He let her post content and she was hooked.

​
Kane was immediately hired to build her social media presence.

​
When Taylor, already a major global star, wanted to deepen her connection with fans and expand her reach on social media platforms, Kane came up with a plan.

​
Kane and his team recognized that simply posting content wasn't enough; they needed to create compelling hooks that would capture attention in the first three seconds.

​
One strategy they implemented was leveraging Taylor's unique voice and personality.

​
Instead of generic posts, they created content that felt personal and authentic, reflecting Taylor's true self.

​
They also analyzed data to understand what types of posts resonated most with her audience.

​
For instance, they found that behind-the-scenes content, personal anecdotes, and interactive posts (like polls and Q&A sessions) garnered high engagement.

​
By focusing on creating engaging hooks and delivering content that felt personal and exclusive, Taylor Swift's social media presence saw a significant boost.

​
This story highlights the importance of standing out in a crowded digital space by creating hooks that immediately capture attention and delivering content that resonates deeply with the audience.

​
Today at 11:30 Pacific/2:30 Eastern, we will be discussing the book Hook Point: How to Stand Out in a 3-Second World in the Mastermind Book Club.
