Hi! I’m Becki, I am a Marketing Manager for an automotive group in the Midlands, UK :) Social media is such a huge part of any digital job now, through I learned social media through MySpace and Bebo, when I was much younger! 

I love working on Instagram and TikTok the most - there’s so much more creativity to be had there. No social media platform really lends itself to my job, so it’s really interesting to see what others do!

I’ve always loved Innocent campaigns, but my fave campaign I’ve worked on was a brand awareness piece for our newest brand, we did a Visit Ben campaign to ask people to come and visit him, rather than speak specifically about the brand itself :)

Top Tip! be honest, and engage with responses.

I have no idea what the next big thing will be - and if I did, I’d be in a different job! However, I love keeping up with trends and exploring new platforms (like Threads!

I’m here for inspiration, best practice, content examples and to just be a part of it :)

Hi, everyone! I’m Natasha, Brand & Marketing Director at Planned Parenthood of Southern New England. 

 

My favorite social platform is between Instagram and TikTok. I love Instagram for catching up with my own friend group and TikTok to see how hilarious people are and all the ways people make informational content fun and interesting. 

 

My go-to for creating engaging content is 1. using/creating video content and 2. using our real people. Our real people content always does the best and the ideal is when I can mix those two things together!
