Branding, influence, monetisation – what does it all mean and how do you stay funny reaching for it?
In this interactive session, join us as we bust the myths around making content for social media, finding the style that works for you, how it can build your promotions and how you can use patterns and algorithms to highlight what is unique about you, rather than working against it.
Our panelists will be talking you through their experience and expert advice on what the industry are looking for and answer all your questions on getting your work out there. Guests include Awards Producer and Business Guru Emily O’Neill, Funny Women Resident Content Creator Millicent Binks and more to be announced!
Tickets are PWYW with a minimum £1 donation.
