Visibility is everything. Creative careers are being made through social media platforms such as Instagram and TikTok, but for some this is a difficult and even confrontational environment.
We are delighted to welcome back one of our most talked-about speakers of recent times, Hawwa Alam. In this session she will talk about the strategies for marketing yourself and your work, drawing on her expertise of building artist-led platforms.
Hawwa highlights the dos and don’ts of social media, explains how to build an engaged audience whilst increasing your reach online, the best way to get seen by your target audience, building an online brand, tracking your success and finally injecting your personality into these social platforms.
