Are you on Tumblr? If not why not? It's a brilliant way to engage with the fashion community in addition to just Facebook and twitter, and it's just as visual as Instagram and Pinterest.
Algorithms and hashtags are super advanced, engagement is at an all-time high, and the span of niche interests is unrivaled. Basically, it's another brilliant way of microblogging to build a strong identity online, whether you're a brand or an individual.

Tumblr requires a bit of a different approach and strategy than other social media, but the payoff is more than worth it, even if you just use it to gather visual inspiration from your favourite brands.
