Social media is the cornerstone of many modern businesses’ marketing strategies. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn and other platforms have become a multi-faceted tool for brands, serving as a content feed, community and customer service channel all at once.

While just about every business has a presence on social media these days, they’re not all necessarily using it the right way. Some brands commit some serious social media blunders, like using the platforms solely for self-promotion, alienating customers with an ill-advised political comment, and automating their posts while failing to engage with followers. According to Forbes Agency Council, here are 14 common social media faux pas your brand should avoid.
