Camel Case Is The Only Way To Write Just Marketing® Hashtags

Being active online, particularly as a business owner or brand representative of any kind, there are a lot of layers to take into consideration. Often, we get so caught up in trying to grow our brand that we forget that we are speaking to real humans. 

Real humans who have all sorts of different backgrounds, cultures, and abilities. Whether you are posting on Facebook, YouTube, TikTok or Instagram, my guess is that you are familiar with the concept of hashtags. 

If you are using them in your content, and you really want to ensure that what you are sharing online is inclusive and accessible, keep reading! I am going to break down the reason behind a simple concept called camel case, which makes it far easier for viewers to interpret your hashtags! 

Let’s Start Right At The Beginning: What is a Hashtag? 

Just in case you are new to the concept of hashtags, here is a quick definition! Hootsuite says that using hashtags is essentially a way to group together conversations or content around a certain topic, making it easy for people to find content that interests them.

They add that hashtags can be used on just about any social media platform, but they’re most popular on Twitter and Instagram. They help to boost both reach and engagement around particular topics. 

Now, Let’s Define Camel Case

camel case, as it pertains to hashtags, in short, is the practice of ensuring that you capitalize the first letter in each word of your multi-word hashtags. This method is sometimes referred to as Pascal case or Camel case. The core difference between Camel case and Pascal case, is that Pascal case requires the first letter of the first word be capitalized whereas Camel case does not. 

While this blog post will focus on compound hashtags, the use of camel case can also apply to compound naming conventions like the following popular examples: 

  • LinkedIn
  • PlayStation
  • YouTube
  • FamilyPreneur

But, let's get back to hashtags and how utilizing camel case will make you a more just, inclusive, and accessible marketer. 

A Cautionary Tale In Defense of Camel Case

One of the best ways to figure out how not to do things, is to learn from the humble mistakes that others have made before you (in kindness and understanding that we all have stories and experiences that we regret). So, here is a story that helps to explain one of the reasons why it pays to use camel case in your hashtags and marketing: 

Once upon a time, an artist created a hashtag to promote her album. Her name was Susan Boyle and the hashtag read #susanalbumparty. It was intended to read as ‘Susan Album Party,’ but it may not come as a surprise to learn that keyboard warriors misread it as #SusAnalBumParty, or, ‘ sus anal bum party.’ 

So, what started out as an innocent promotional stunt got a rather filthy twist, rather fast too. Now, Susan Boyle is mostly remembered as the celebrity who called for her fans to attend a steamy sex party. In reality, she was Britain's Got Talent's second biggest opera singer. Sad.

Here’s another example: 

 #whoremembers =  ‘Whore members’ or ‘Who Remembers’?

The bottom line is that using lowercase letters hashtags can be confusing, difficult to understand, and simply open to (mis)interpretation.

Hashtags, Technology & Accessibility

As a Just Marketer, you want to make your marketing accessible to everyone. 

For the visually impaired, who rely on screen readers to access information, lowercase multi-word hashtags pose a challenge.

If a long hashtag is written in lowercase, the screen reader cannot recognize the individual words that make up the hashtag. 

Screen reading technology often interprets long hashtags as single words instead of a phrase. 

The result? A  text-to-speech output that sounds like gibberish..

Now, a good portion of your audience may also include people who are dyslexic or partially sighted. 

So, gibberish output negates your goal of making your content accessible. Not to mention that some people may want to lighten their reading load or simply prefer the experience of using a screen reader.

 Accommodating people of all abilities in your use of hashtags means that you have to use camel case for your hashtags.

The Visually Impaired Are Not The Only Ones Who Benefit From Camel Case Hashtags

Camel case does not just solely benefit people who rely on screen readers. It improves understanding and readability for everyone. It makes your content clear and scannable to your audience. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • People in a hurry
  • People with low literacy
  • People who are stressed
  • People who are multi-tasking
  • People with low English fluency
  • People with cognitive impairments

Your hashtags should be really clear and leave no room for misinterpretation. As shown in the Susan Boyle example, we don’t want to make our audience stop and think by causing confusion. Our hashtags should be helpful, not a hindrance.

Why Isn’t Camel Case Universally Adopted When Writing Hashtags? 

There is no extra effort required to write a hashtag in camel case, so it cannot be a resource issue. Therefore, I assume the absence of camel case is due to a lack of understanding about social media accessibility, and I hope that this article can help to break some of those misconceptions.

It is yet another example of one of the reasons why I started Just Marketing®. To provide open, honest, judgment-free advice and feedback to entrepreneurs, marketers and small business owners who want to make their content and marketing more inclusive, accessible and equitable — but they’re not quite sure where to start.

If you didn’t track your metrics this month - that’s OK.

- Coming back, even after breaks.
- Staying aligned with your values, even if progress feels slow.

This is your reminder:
Perfection is a trap.
Consistency is what creates momentum.

It just needs to be authentically you, showing up when you can.

You’ve got numbers. Cool. But what do they mean? You’ve got numbers. Cool.
But what do they mean? 
And how do you use them without spiraling into overthinking or analysis paralysis?

Here’s your ADHD- and entrepreneur-friendly roadmap:

Step 1: Analyze without obsessing
Ask simple questions:
 - What’s working?
 - What’s not?
 - What’s worth tweaking?
(Not everything requires a deep dive - look for patterns, not perfection.)

Step 2: Experiment and adjust
- A/B test little things (subject lines, CTAs, posting times)
- Make small, iterative changes
- Avoid "burn it all down" energy… steady wins here

Step 3: Celebrate progress, even the tiny wins
- 5 more clicks than last month? That counts.
- Someone replied to your email? That matters.
- Learned what doesn’t work? That’s insight.

Your marketing journey is NOT a pass/fail test.
It’s a cycle of learning, adjusting, and growing.

When in doubt, zoom out.
Look at trends over time.
Progress always tells a bigger story than one random metric.

Ready to start analyzing with confidence (and without overwhelm)?

You don’t need to monitor all the numbers. You n You don’t need to monitor all the numbers. You need the right numbers - the ones that show whether your marketing efforts are actually working.

Here’s your permission slip to simplify:

1. Social Media:
Focus on engagement rates (likes, comments, shares, saves) and forget follower counts - they don’t tell the full story

2. Email Marketing:
Watch open rates + click-through rates. This shows who’s really connecting with your emails

3. Website:
Check traffic sources + conversion rates… Where are people coming from, and what actions are they taking?

Remember: Simple > Complicated

When you zoom in on the metrics that matter, you save time, reduce overwhelm, and make smarter marketing decisions aligned with your values.

You’ve heard it everywhere: “Grow your follow You’ve heard it everywhere:
 “Grow your followers.”
 “Get more likes.”
 “Chase that viral moment.”

But here’s the truth: Vanity metrics won’t build the kind of brand that changes lives.

What will?
— Prioritizing accessibility so everyone feels welcome
— Centering inclusivity so diverse voices are heard
— Building genuine relationships that stand the test of time

When you align your marketing with your mission, magic happens:
— You attract the right people (values-aligned, ready to connect)
— You show up consistently without burning out
— You create ripple effects far beyond the algorithm

How do your values show up in your business? Anyo How do your values show up in your business?

Anyone can slap their values on an "About" page and call it a day.

But if your business is truly values-led, those beliefs show up in your: 

— Client onboarding process
— Pricing and payment options
— Marketing language
— Team communication
— Accessibility choices
— Boundaries and business hours
— Collaborations and brand partnerships

The question isn’t just what you believe…
It’s how you bring those beliefs to life in your everyday biz decisions.

Feeling stuck on what to actually measure when you Feeling stuck on what to actually measure when you stop chasing vanity metrics?

Here’s your cheat sheet for measuring inclusivity + accessibility instead:

Inclusive Metrics:
1. Engagement Diversity: Who’s showing up? Are underrepresented voices in the mix?
2. Feedback on Inclusivity: Are folks telling you they feel seen + included?
3. Representation Analysis: Does your content library reflect the world around you?

Accessibility Metrics
1. Adoption of Accessibility Features: Alt text, captions, readable text… are you using them consistently?
2. Audience Retention: Are folks sticking around? Accessibility supports sustained attention.
3. Positive Feedback: Are people noticing + appreciating your accessibility efforts?

These are the metrics that actually matter when you’re building a brand rooted in justice, inclusion, and ethical marketing.

Remember: Numbers tell part of the story - but people’s experiences tell the whole truth.

What if we measured success in social media by how What if we measured success in social media by how welcomed and included our audience feels - instead of chasing empty stats?

Imagine this...
— Content that resonates deeply (not just scrolls by)
— Communities built on belonging (not just numbers)
— Metrics that reflect your mission, not just your marketing

This is what happens when you shift toward measuring inclusivity and accessibility.

Are diverse voices engaging with your content?
Are folks telling you they feel represented + valued?
Are you removing barriers with captions, alt text, and design choices?

These are the new success signals for mission-driven brands.

Not flashy. Not always trending.
But absolutely transformational!

If you’ve ever found yourself gripping the wheel If you’ve ever found yourself gripping the wheel a little tighter behind a logging truck, you’re not alone!

And last week, Final Destination recreated that iconic death scene to promote the new movie - a marketing move that’s part throwback, part genius, and all about going viral: trucks loaded with giant logs, advertising the new Final Destination movie.

These trucks are rolling IRL jump scares… and thanks to cell phones and social media, they’re now everywhere online.

This is a brilliantly layered strategy that we can totally learn from:

— Nostalgia is powerful. What part of your brand story or industry might spark a “Remember when?” moment for your audience?

— Offline can boost online. Even in the digital age, showing up in the physical world can spark real buzz — especially when it's camera-worthy.

— Make it easy (and irresistible) to share. Whether it’s a visual, a vibe, or a story — the more “OMG I have to post this” it is, the better.

— Creativity > cash. You don’t need a horror movie budget... The emotional hook and clever execution are what make this campaign legendary.

We don’t need to shock and scare our audience like Final Destination - but we can tap into what they already feel, remember, and want to share.

I gotta know: Have you seen one of these trucks in the wild? 

I haven't yet - and really hope I do!

Every time we pass a log truck, I look in my rearview to see if it's a promo - but living in the PNW they're always just log trucks - LOL.

"Likes are up - so everything’s great, right?" "Likes are up - so everything’s great, right?"
 ...Not necessarily.

Vanity metrics aren’t telling you the whole story.

In fact, here’s why traditional social media metrics (aka vanity metrics) can lead you down the wrong path:

1. Quantity ≠ Quality
 Lots of likes don’t mean your audience actually cares or will take action.

2. They Don’t Reflect Your Values
 You can grow fast — but does your content reflect inclusivity and accessibility, or are you sidelining your mission to fit in?

3. They Encourage Performative Content
 Chasing viral trends can water down your brand and alienate the communities you want to serve.

4. They Fuel Burnout
 The pressure to "always post more" is draining, especially for neurodiverse entrepreneurs and small business owners balancing everything.

It’s time to shift.

Are you feeling stuck between marketing that feels Are you feeling stuck between marketing that feels good and marketing that actually works?

The old rules of social media reward whatever’s loudest and fastest. 

But if you’re here, you probably care about something deeper:
— Ethical content that respects your audience
— Inclusive messaging that makes everyone feel welcome
— Accessible design so no one’s left out

That’s why I lean on the Just Marketing® Strategy Foundations — because when your content aligns with your values, success becomes sustainable (and so much more fulfilling).

Here’s the quick overview of the framework I use:

Ethical Marketing
— Be transparent
— Avoid performative actions
— Amplify voices that need to be heard

Inclusive Marketing
— Use inclusive language
— Engage your community
— Audit your representation

Accessible Marketing
— Add alt text to images
— Caption your videos
— Make your designs easy to read and understand

REMEMBER: Start small and scale up. You don’t have to overhaul everything today to start showing up better tomorrow.

We’ve all been there: hustling for likes, chasin We’ve all been there: hustling for likes, chasing follower counts, and watching the numbers climb (or stall) on our dashboards.
 
It feels like progress… but is it really?

When "going viral" becomes the goal, we risk losing sight of what actually matters - creating content that reflects our values, fosters genuine connections, and makes space for everyone in our communities.

For mission-driven entrepreneurs (especially those of us navigating business while neurodiverse), social media shouldn’t feel like a popularity contest. It should feel like a conversation.

That’s why it’s time to shift the focus from vanity metrics to value alignment. When we do, we:

 — Prioritize people over numbers
 — Create accessible, inclusive content
 — Build authentic relationships rooted in trust

Viral posts come and go. But meaningful impact? That’s what lasts.
