Social Media Demographic Breakdowns on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Twitter Users

When it comes to social media marketing, knowing your demographics is essential. You can’t reach your target audience if you don’t use the platforms they use or use language that catches their eyes. Understanding demographic breakdowns on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Twitter can help improve your social media marketing campaigns.
