Social Listening: Crumble Cookie

    Although a recent company,  Crumble Cookie  has soared in popularity over the last few years. A big portion of this popularity is due to their massive presence on social media. With accounts on Instagram, Tik Tok, Twitter, Facebook and other platforms, they are constantly putting out content about their new weekly cookies. Crumble Cookie seems to have surrounded their product with different techniques of marketing.
