The Relevance Stack

The Relevance Stack is how we measure and build social relevance. Here we break it down for you.

Social relevance isn't about posting more. (Though everyone seems to think it is.)

It's about building real bonds with your audience. The kind of connections that earn attention, drive brand love, and get people to engage and act.

The Relevance Stack is how we measure and build that relevance. It's three parts that work together to give you a clear picture of where you stand, what's working, and how to create content that truly makes an impact for your brand.

Let's break it down.

The R-Score

Think of this as your social report card. One number that shows exactly where your brand stands and where it needs to go next.

This isn't some vanity metric. It's a proper measurement that combines the stuff that actually matters:

It's like a fitness tracker for your brand. Shows you your current health, tracks progress over time, and tells you exactly where to push harder. Think a WHOOP but for brands. 

Relevance Hub

Let's be honest: no one wants to engage with brands that just don't get it or feel tone-deaf.

Understanding your audience properly is everything. The Relevance Hub is your weekly brief on what actually matters right now:

If the R-Score is your fitness tracker, the Relevance Hub is your personal trainer: keeping you sharp on the latest moves each week.

Creative Relevance Framework

Shouting into the void with content nobody cares about? Definitely not a strategy.

The Creative Relevance Framework organizes your content into three pillars, combining their efforts into real results:

  1. Showcasing the brand: Brand-led messaging, but made for social (not adapted for it)
  2. Joining existing conversations: Meeting your audience where they already are, through trends, moments, and cultural references that make sense specifically to them
  3. Making new moments: Creating original content that sparks fresh conversations and gets people talking

These three pillars help brands deliver content that feels authentic, timely, and impactful. To finish the fitness analogy: this is your workout plan, making sure every rep you do really counts for the broader goal.

Why The Relevance Stack Matters

Here's the truth: Relevance drives attention. Attention builds trust. Trust fuels growth.

The Relevance Stack is your three-part plan to nail all of that:

  1. A clear benchmark of where you stand right now
  2. Real-time insights into what your audience genuinely cares about
  3. A strategic framework for content that resonates instead of just existing

What this will give you is a social presence that stops people from scrolling, building genuine attachment to the brand, and delivering business results you can point to directly.
