We’ll focus on planning, management, aesthetic, storytelling, engagement, growth as well as shopping on Instagram, hacks, the latest rumors, and the best apps to use in order to make your content unique. The workshop will also touch on the tools creatives and marketers can use to simplify their planning process, how to work with influencers, and how to take advantage of the best user-generated content.
