The average Singaporean spends over two hours a day in the feed. That's where they find brands, size them up, and decide whether to trust them with their money. Social media stopped being a noticeboard a long time ago. It's the shop window, the word of mouth, and the first impression, all at once.
Most brands treat it as a chore — post something, anything, stay "active." The brands that win treat the feed as the main stage. The gap between the two isn't budget. It's whether the content is actually worth watching.
