About this Event

Event Description

This hands-on session pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to show up and grow through short-form video. We’ll dive into how to think like a creator (not just a marketer), use Reels and TikTok trends strategically, and craft scroll-stopping content that builds community, authority, and brand love.
Key Takeaways

1. Master the Algorithm Shift: Understand what drives organic reach and how to work with the algorithm, not against it.
2. Create with Intention: Learn a repeatable process for turning trends into strategy, so every video supports brand storytelling and growth.
3. Show Up Like a Creator: Get practical, on-the-spot tips for filming, editing, and posting content that feels authentic, builds community, and drives real engagement.
