What does it take to have influence? (...social media for artists)
A social media workshop that will explore what it takes to have influence. Especially focused for artists to develop a creative way to create and curate online content for a range of social media platforms. The workshop will delve into the world of content creation, brand association and how to grow an engaged audience.
