If you’ve ever spent any time on Canva, you know it can feel like falling down a rabbit hole. There’s just so much good stuff to look at and explore!

4. @wendys (Instagram & Twitter)

A true classic. For years, Wendy’s has been a leader on Twitter, showcasing how a sense of humour can be a game-changer. They’re not afraid to push boundaries or throw the occasional jab at other fast-food chains.

9. @danjlevy (Twitter)

In 2020, Dan Levy (co-creator and star of Schitt’s Creek) encouraged his followers to join him in taking the University of Alberta’s Indigenous Canada course. But that wasn’t a one-off gesture. Throughout 2021, Dan made sure to follow up with participants to uncover the course’s real-world impacts. Calling the course “transformational”, he ultimately encouraged over 200,000 students to sign up. Needless to say, Dan’s social media efforts are pretty transformational too.

11. Dionne Warwick (Twitter)

Yup, the legendary Dionne Warwick might be 80, but she plays the Twitter game better than most. There’s a certain magic that happens when you prioritize relevancy in your content – and Ms. Warwick serves as an excellent (and hilarious) example. She’s the queen of paying attention to what is being talked about online and capitalizing on it.

These accounts are all so successful thanks in large part to their social media strategies. If you’d like to give your own social strategy a boost for the new year (and beyond), we’d love to hear from you!
