Listen "POV on Threads: August 2025"
Episode Synopsis
On thie episode, I provide an updated POV on Threads. Transcript below:Let’s talk about Threads.On the surface, Threads shows promising user growth. But when you look closer, the daily engagement numbers are still really low compared to its biggest competitor, X. Right now, the average active user spends only about three minutes a day on Threads — versus twenty-nine minutes on X. That’s a huge gap.So what does that mean for food and beverage brands? Honestly, maintaining a presence on Threads just doesn’t look like the best use of time or resources. We’ve seen many brands post consistently, but most of those posts get fewer than ten likes, and almost never spark comments or shares. In fact, some well-known brands like Ocean Spray, Aloha, Swoon, and Graza have stopped posting altogether.There is one exception: Poppi. Poppi’s posts do get solid engagement. But that has less to do with Threads as a platform and more to do with Poppi’s cult-like following and extremely loyal fan base. Unless your brand already has that same kind of built-in community, you’re probably not going to see much return from investing heavily in Threads right now.So our recommendation? Skip it as a secondary platform for now and focus efforts where engagement is stronger.
