8 Must Follow Brands On Social Media

Share This Post:

A phone sits on top of graph paper as it displays the login screen for Instagram.

Raise your hand if you stalk certain brands on the socials 👋🏻. We all have our favorites, based on our style, lifestyle, food choices, families and hobbies. Because we are awesome, our team did extensive research (ok, we voted) and these are the brands who stand out by the products they feature and the stories they tell.
Add the following brands to your Instagram, you’ll thank us later.
 
The top nine posts from Target's instagram showcase the brand.

@target

Target is not your typical store, they are a lifestyle brand that has captivated us with their relatable ads, affordable designer fashions, home décor (hello Magnolia); and delicious food offerings. They are also a brand that isn’t afraid to take a stance on a social, economic, environmental, or political problem.
Their Instagram feed is the definition of beautiful with product, customers, fashion and home design inspiration. Did we mention there is at least one post a week that features a cute animal? Yeah, that kinda sold us.
 
 
State of Grace's top nine Instagram posts showcase black, white, and pink.

@shopstateofgrace

When it comes to sassy brands, few can top State of Grace. Based in Canada, State of Grace has everything from clothing to wine glasses with snarky, sarcastic and hilarious sayings.

Their feed’s color theme is 100% in-line with their brand and entices you to stock your cabinets, closet, and home with all their products.

 
 
 
Bando's Instagram account shows images of pandas, smiling cookies, and more.

@shopbando

What started out as an avant-garde headband company, has now become a company offering planners, agendas, wall art and clothing.
The company is actively working to empower women and reduce the stigma around mental health. Their posts inspire confidence, and encourage followers to embrace themselves not matter what they are feeling. Give this brand a follow and be sure to check out ban.do CEO Jen Gotch’s podcast Jen Gotch is Ok… Sometimes.
 
 
 
The Air BnB Instagram account's top nine photos show off sweeping scenery and cozy escapes.

@airbnb

Wanderlust anyone? Airbnb should come with a warning, “will cause severe travel envy.” If you love to travel, or just want to drool over exotic locations, this is the account for you.
The posts feature actual homes, apartments, bungalows, cabins (you get the drift), available to rent through the Airbnb app. What are you waiting for? Start saving for your next trip and get your inspiration through Airbnb.
 
 
 
The top nine photos on Tito's Instagram showcase dogs wearing bandanas.

@vodkafordogpeople

We love vodka as much (or more) as the next person, but when you combine it with dogs, well that is just some next level shit. Tito’s Vodka has a pawesome program called “Vodka for Dog People” which is dedicated to bettering the lives of pets and families. Tito’s recognizes the importance of a canine companion and great vodka. It is a match made in heaven.
So, pour yourself some Tito’s and click the link in their bio to meet the “co-woofer” of the month.
 
 
The top nine posts on Anthropologie's Instagram show off fashion, home decor, and livestyle images.

@anthropologie

We simply cannot get over how calming the Anthropologie feed is. While the brand is most commonly known for their apparel, their home collection is simply divine (and ridiculously overpriced). Their account features beautiful home pieces paired with stylish clothing that will only ever look good on models. But hey, we can dream, right?
They also feature amazing architecture from around the world that will have you itching to travel (see Airbnb). 
 
 
Rebel GR's Instagram shows colorful products arranged throughout the store.

@rebelgr

We support local, and you should to. One of our favorite local shops, Rebel, has a feed that will have you dropping $250 every time you walk in the store (we have proof of this). From unique gifts to home décor, Rebel has the coolest of the cool.
It’s time to up your gift-giving game, follow Rebel on Instagram now, you won’t regret it. Their account is so great, we may or may not have post notifications turned on.
 
 
The 8THIRTYFOUR Instagram showcases colrful images that show off blog quotes and team members.

@8thirtyfour

Something on Your Mind?

Running 8THIRTYFOUR on EOS has allowed our team to find consistency in what we do and given us a framework to hold each other accountable. 

It's why @bodespeaks highlighted it in her latest @fastcompany contribution. 

Article at the link in bio.
We put everything business owners, employees, and educators told us on the wall, and guess what... yeah, some of it was mean. 

The point is, everyone is saying it about each other, not to each other, and nothing is getting fixed that way. 

Thanks to everyone who showed up to have the Uncomfortable Conversation on the skills crisis, and whether you were there or not, let us know what the next one should be.

Defense and manufacturing run on precision, protocols, and deadlines. When a team miscommunicates... things slip, and the cost adds up.

Kim will be at the Michigan Defense Expo in Detroit on May 13 to talk about the Hard Cost of Soft Skills (or as we call them, survival skills) and what we can all do about it.

If not for you, do it for her. 

@bodespeaks will be talking to @sheleadssocietymi on May 21 about Big Deal Energy™ and what it means to own what makes you - you. 

Don't let mediocre men tell you you're too much. That's on them. 

Come to the talk, it'll be fun. Link in bio.
We always say work smarter, which means bringing in expertise you don't have and hiring people who make your team more complete. 

That's what Kim Bode said in a recent @fastcompany article on building sustainability into your business.
