The Unscene Insight Summit: Creating Social Content for Brands

The HiveMind Unified is back to present THE UNSCENE INSIGHT SUMMIT where early career professionals are offered a glimpse into roles from more seasoned professionals who work in different parts of the Entertainment industry!

What is the difference between creating social content for yourself vs. a company?

Do you own any of the work you create?

In this session, you'll be able to hear from producers Kyle Bahl, Marquavia Queen Smith, and Tiffany Kehinde who have experience directing and producing across multiple platforms for brands such as Byrdie, Travel + Leisure, Buzzfeed and more!

Plus, we'll breakdown clips from each producer's work to understand their approach to producing across social media platforms.

Spaces are limited on a first come-first serve basis so get in where you can zoom in - no literally!

Questions can be sent ahead of time to [email protected]
