Happy International Women’s Day — and happy Women’s History Month!
As a women-led business in the social media industry, we’re consistently inspired and empowered by the movements we see growing and changing our social landscape in the name of gender equality. To celebrate #InternationalWomensDay, the Metter Media team came together to honor some of our favorite movements that started right on social media.

What’s your New Year’s resolution? While everyone is making weight goals, buying ClassPasses, and planting home gardens, we’re focusing on our #1 obsession: social media. After a year full of new social media developments, two new iPhones, and memes galore, we’re getting ready for whatever the new year brings us.
In 2016, the Metter team is making social media resolutions to keep ourselves on our toes both on and off the clock.
Here are our goals for the new year:
Joanna – I resolve to actually use my personal Twitter account.
Angela – To tweet more news-related content and things people will actually find useful!
Kristen – I resolve to stop reading Facebook comments, typing replies, and deleting them before posting. I shall scroll past from here on out.
Lauren – My New Year’s Resolution is to not freak out with anxiety when I get tagged in Facebook photos.
Danielle – My resolutions: Get back on my Instagram game. Make sure to check in to at least one place per day – either on Swarm or by posting a pic to other platforms!
Jasmine – I want to stop getting into arguments on comment threads.
James – I want to start being nicer on social media.
Lyssa – Stop mindlessly browsing my Instagram feed when I’m supposed to be watching a movie / talking to a human / sleeping.
Sarah – I resolve to keep all (okay, most) of my Snapchat stories under 60 seconds.
