Joey’s Area 51 Meme Roundup

The internet is a truly unpredictable beast. Just when you think you’ve seen it all — you haven’t. On any given day anything can be launched into the mainstream of cultural consciousness without warning; reaching everyone from your internet friends to your confused grandmother on Facebook.

What makes the viral Area 51 event so interesting is the fact that it has a specific date attached to it, earning it a place in the cultural narrative much longer than most one off viral jokes achieve — and, of course, plenty of memes.

Kate From Maine: Kate Goes to Fenway

Kate Berry is one of our newest account managers at Metter Media. After moving to Boston from Maine, she’s made her own Boston Bucket List to ease into life as a new Bostonian. Follow along with her this summer as she explores all the city has to offer!

It all started with, “What’s a Sweetgreen?” That’s when I knew I was living in a whole new world — one full of Market Baskets and DoorDash. See, I’m from Central Maine where the whole town lost its shit when we got a Chick-fil-a. So, you can see why my whole world got rocked when I moved to Boston a few months ago. This is why I have set out on a journey to check off as many things as possible on my Boston bucket list. First on the list: a Red Sox game.

I’d be lying if I said this was my first game. I went to one when I was in elementary school, but the only thing I can remember is getting an ice cream in a helmet and what felt like a days-long trip in the car. I needed a real Fenway experience.

Client Spotlight: The Chateau

Founded in 1933 by the Nocera family in Waltham, Massachusetts, the Chateau restaurant group now has 8 locations throughout Massachusetts. They pride themselves on their tradition of Italian family dining, friendly service, and quality food at reasonable prices, which has earned them a loyal customer base.

But, with their customers increasingly growing on Facebook, they wanted to best utilize social media to communicate all of their various weekly promotions. And as that customer base grows older, they wanted to figure out how to reach a younger, millennial audience and start a new generation of loyal diners (many of whom are now on Instagram). Metter Media was brought on to bring this 86-year-old Italian family restaurant’s online presence into the 21st century with a creative social media strategy.
