Most organisations use Instagram in some capacity, but it can be difficult to understand how to use the platform to its full advantage. You probably already know that you need to post on Instagram daily, respond to comments and use the newer formats such as Reels – but what’s the real strategy behind these decisions?
The aim of this webinar is to encourage you to think more strategically about how you use Instagram and interrogate why you do what you’re currently doing on the platform.
This one-hour session is led by Instagram Expert Phoebe Parke, who shows people how they can use the app to achieve their business and personal branding goals. Through her content and digital products, she busts algorithm myths, equips creators with the tools they need to ask for the money they deserve and helps her followers shift their focus from vanity metrics to building an engaged community around their niche. Parke started her career as a journalist at CNN, has worked in social media management for a decade and is currently Head of Social Media at women’s magazine Grazia UK.
