Hi from England!

Hi all, I’m Robyn the Social Media Manager for a housing provider in England. I look forward to engaging with you all on trends and key social media news. I’m really into gymnastics, snowboarding, plants (my home is being taken over by them! ;) ) and social media of course! I’m especially keen to talk about Instagram and TikTok strategy considering the developments in those areas lately. Hopefully connect with some of you on LinkedIn also: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robyn-burke-a80206148/ Best wishes, Robyn

Just saying hi

Hi from Dublin I’m probably in a minority here, working in the Government sector. I’m the digital lead at the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media. Yup, I work on everything from tweeting about Gaelic football & hurling (check them out!) to campaigns including the basic income for artists pilot scheme and promoting the Irish language (Dia daoibh a chairde!!) I hope to pick up some tips and hear about what’s going on in your neck of the woods too. All the best, Mark

Company leaders doing selfie-style videos

Does anyone have examples they could point me to? I’m asking one of my executives to film himself and I’d like to provide examples for him to look at.
