Podcast S3E4: Instagram Reels with Niamh Crawford-Walker
So, first of all, I would say to start consuming reels. Think about the content that you consume. So if we go very specifically for Instagram reels or tik-tok style content, just scroll through and have a watch. Like it doesn't have to be specific to your industry or specific to your niche, but see what other people are doing. See what inspiration comes from there. By doing that, that's where you can bring the kind of fun element. In terms of a really practical thing, something I did last night and it's off the back of working with me.
I actually went through my audience and looked at who my audience actually are, and also looked at the content that had performed the best or that was really resonating. And that was working in line with what my own social media goals were on my own mark... social strategy and things like that. It's definitely going to be different for everyone.
