Social Media for Designers and Makers (Workshop)

The Instagram algorithm has changed (again) but the principles of marketing and making sales remain the same!

You need to be seen …
by the right people
at the right time
in the right way

And social media can play a major role in making that happen!

Want to make Instagram and other social media platforms work for your creative business?

Sign up for Social Media for Designers + Makers workshop with Charlene C Lam – we’ve got two dates coming up in London, Sun 1st July and Wed 4th July!

Social Media for Designers + Makers Workshop

  • Replace confusion with clarity
  • Learn to post with purpose
  • Identify your ideal customers and influencers

Here’s what we’ll cover!

Social Media Strategies and Updates

  • Why the typical advice for social media might not apply to designers, makers and artists
  • Strategies and tips for designer and makers with a primary focus on Instagram, touching on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest
  • Recent changes to social media platforms and how they apply to independent designers and makers

Your Instagram Grid

  • Together, we’ll help you plan your next 9 posts on Instagram — getting the all-important grid pretty, purposeful and suited to your creative business.

Instagram Stories

  • How to use Stories, including captions, stickers, polls and more. Been too shy or confused to use Stories? We’ll tackle that, it’s one of the most important social media features for creatives currently!
  • New Instagram feature, just released: We’ll talk about IGTV (aka Instagram TV) too!

There’s a lot of social media information out there, and it’s easy to get confused and overwhelmed.

The workshop will be tailored for designers, makers, artists and creative businesses.
