  • Today’s agenda: 

    Jamie's wigs

    Cringe corporate speak: pick your brain

    Hot topic: all things content creation: answering your questions, tips and tricks, getting started and best practises for businesses and HR professionals

    The path to social media growth is different for everyone

    Mimicking what someone else has done is not the answer to social influencing. Authenticity is key.

    What inspired us to begin creating content? What inspires us now?

    Although it can be useful, try to not overanalyze the data. Stay aligned with who you are and wish to be on socials

    Dealing with the haters

    Consistency is key... but finding balance is also important
