I'll be the first to say it.

Sometimes I feel like I don't know what I'm doing, or why I'm doing it.

So I spend some time reminiscing about what got me started with this business, way back when it was NV Media Productions.

And what I usually come up with is that I want to be able to help business owners along their journey. I want to see them hit every milestone and overcome every roadblock that they're faced with.

I want to be there cheering them on and showing them that it does get better, that over time the day-to-day struggles become routine and processes and flows are created to help them shine.

With digital media production, Heather and I can help businesses achieve their goals, and that makes me so happy.

Even recently, we helped a small business owner put some final touches on their website so they could actually do business instead of having a website just sitting out there on the internet with no functionality or purpose to it.

On a different note, being a business owner has also given me the flexibility to do what I want every day, not having someone else tell me what needs to be done or that I did it the wrong way, I choose the projects that align with myself and my team. And that's pretty fu***ng great if you ask me.

So this is my why, what's yours?

Stories are a great way to share info with your audience and relate to them with stuff that doesn't necessarily fit in with your feed.

These 4 ideas are great for starting out with stories and getting engagement from your users (that means they're interacting with you).

I would like to note that you want to be sure that you're posting some sort of relevant information alongside the feature. So for polls, post a pic or a video of you telling a little story - ask your users if they relate with some fun responses!

If you have any questions about what to post in your stories, let us know in the comments!

Are you constantly stressing over your Marketing? 🙅‍♀️

We may love what we do, but we know a lot of people don't love doing it - and guess what?

That is OKAY.

I don't love doing a lot of things.

I hate numbers, so I got a bookkeeper to help.

I don't like coming up with workouts, so I pay for a fitness app.

It's not a bad thing to admit defeat and get some help.

We know that in reality, marketing efforts take a lot of planning, strategy, and TIME to do well.

Our team is here to put in that time for you.

Any burning questions about social media you want answered?

Let’s meet in the comment section! 👇💬

You know I could talk about it 24/7!

Here's our Tuesday night affirmation as we go into a heavy week of content planning.

When you think of your business and brand, what does it mean? And who are you as a company? Defining your brand is more than picking out colours and visuals. It's about the heart of your company.

Start by thinking about what your values and goals are.. Do you have an origin story or a product offering that is unique or special and helps you stand out? What is your mission? How do you want your customers to remember you? All of these elements make up your business’s personality — your brand. These are the things that help you to stand out and really shine amongst the sea of other businesses out there.

Having a strong brand identity is one of the most important factors in your marketing strategy. You can start defining your brand by doing exercises like:

⚡Picking out 3-5 words that describe your brand and define your brand’s voice
⚡Figuring out who your competitors are & learning about them
⚡ Sending us a message to chat more

Dear business owner, it might not feel like it yet, but everything is coming together.

Each day you take a step toward your calling, your dream, is a day well spent and you'll likely be surprised that the outcome is better than you could have ever imagined.

I know we are pleasantly delighted with our surprise!

15/04/2022

Happy Easter to all those who celebrate!

We will be taking some time off today and will return to the office to chat more with you again on Monday! Hop you all have a great weekend! (See what I did there? 🐰)

13/04/2022

It’s mid-April, you know what that means…

MAY CONTENT IDEAS ARE HERE!😍

By spending about 2-5 hours in the next week or so you can have your next month's content completely planned and scheduled - leaving social media at the BACK of your thoughts, instead of stressing every day about what you're going to share.

This cheat sheet can help you develop themes and ideas for what you want to talk about! - This is usually based on things I want to promote, and the holidays and events going on. 🤩

Also, note that you don't have to post EVERY day!!! Posting 3-4 times a week is enough to keep your content relevant and up to date (so fewer ideas too!)

Now get to planning! And be sure to save this post for later.

We LOVE these spring palettes, they're so soft and yet warm.

Drawing inspiration from your favourite plants or places is always a great place to start when looking at options for your branding colour palette.

I’d rather be a little bit different than more of the same. ⬇️✨⁣
⁣
This should be your mantra in business! While it can be tempting to look to your competitors when you think about how to tell your story online, don’t do it! Instead, share your story with that in mind.⁣
⁣
When you are thinking about creating captions for your business page, ask yourself: ⁣
⁣
✨Why am I different than my competitors?⁣
✨What makes us unique?⁣
✨What are the benefits of you vs. the other guy?⁣
⁣
AND TELL YOUR DANG STORY. ⁣

✨This is my website PSA!⁣ ✨
⁣
For those of you who are trying to DIY, or are thinking of working with a web designer, here is one thing you MUST remember.⁣
⁣
𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐰𝐞𝐛𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐔𝐒𝐄𝐑.⁣
⁣
It needs to be easy to navigate & for people to understand.⁣
⁣
When we do website re-designs the first thing we look at is solving problems for the user. We ask ourselves questions like:⁣
⁣
⚡ What's the easiest way for them to get the information they need?⁣
⁣
⚡ What will help them feel secure in their decision to contact you, or make a purchase?⁣
⁣
⚡ Where are they currently getting confused (dropping off?)⁣
⁣
These are the questions that take your website from just being pretty to being pretty and functional! Function is SO IMPORTANT!⁣
⁣
If you're not sure if your website is functional, take it to the person who you know who is the least tech savvy, and get them to test it! This will help you discover some bugs I am sure!
⁣
⁣
📍PS. We are booking website re-designs into April/May So if you are interested in being on our client list for April, it's time to reach out.

Trying to show up online but have no idea what you're doing? 🤦We've ALL been there.

Randomly posting random stuff might gain your account some traction from a few followers and potential customers, however, really pushing through with a solid strategy is SURE to get you the results you want.

IG is a tricky monster with its algorithm changing on what seems like a daily basis. But I'm gonna let you in on some secrets that are sure to help you succeed.

POST REGULARLY!! Showing up consistently helps to ensure that your content is being seen by your followers. Regular posting varies depending on your goal, but showing up on a regular basis in Stories, Feed, and Reels is imperative.

But that's not enough...

POST REELS!! Photo content isn't enough anymore. Many IG users simply scroll for hours through the reels feed, with no regard for your feed posts. Capturing their attention is tricky, so you have to come up with clever ideas on how to grab their attention in the first 3 seconds of your video.

and last but not least, BE YOU!!

Sure, branding is important but if you can't be yourself and speak about what matters to you and your business, including some personal flair in videos, and sharing some relatable tidbits, people just won't resonate with what you're putting out there. Being honest is super important.

AND in the spirit of honesty, I didn't know what I was doing when I started either. But spending every day for the last 2 years creating and testing out content, researching trends, and seeing stuff FLOP, I've got a pretty good handle on it now!

So if you want some support with social strategy, you know where to find us 😉

Why use TikTok and Reels as part of your strategy?

We love this question!

When it comes to content marketing, one of the things you want to do is make sure you are creating content that is shareable. Short-form video content (aka TikToks and Reels) is some of the most widely shared content on the internet.

Having your customer or client share a piece of content that you created with a friend is part of creating strong brand recognition but also brand legitimacy. That share could get you your very next client.

But you can't get the share if you aren't making the content.

So the next time you scroll by a reel and think about how you could make something similar for your business.. you CAN. And you should! You've got this!

INSTAGRAM MYTHS DEBUNKED:

⚡You do NOT need to have 10k+ followers for viral engaging posts!⚡
Putting out quality engaging content can go viral at any account size, it just depends if the algorithm picks it up. Focus on things like using trending audios, text on your video, and quality hashtags.

⚡Using new features like Reels DOES rank your posts higher on the algorithim⚡
The Instagram algorithm is much more focused on video content these days, short eye-catching video content to be specific. Your content will reach a much higher audience if it is in Reel format.

⚡Every one of your posts DOES NOT need to have the same high engagement⚡
We've said it before and will say it again. Producing content that gets fewer views and engagement is still valuable. Putting any content out at all is helpful because showing up with low engagement is better than not showing up at all. Eventually, the algorithm sees your content (when posted regularly) and will boost your content more to your audience.

Have other myths you want debunked? Let us know them in the comments!

Say hi to Heather & Mercedez, our TikTok/ Reels duo! We've been talking a lot lately about how to work with us on your TikToks or Reels. But a question we get often is: "how does it work?"

So let's break it down:

First, we can an idea of your business and the kind of content you want to be making. Show us accounts you love, we'll find creators in your industry and get a feel for the kind of things we can create!

Next, we'll come up with a content schedule so we know exactly how many videos we need to make. For our average client, we suggest 3 reels per week as a starting point.

Then, we grab our content planning sheet. We brain storm, use trending tiktoks to inspire us and get to planning!

Finally, we book a shoot day (and a location if you need it) and execute! All we ask you to do is bring your best energy and a couple outfits.

We send you the edited content and you are on your way to better engagement and better reach!

If this is how easy you want your content planning to be, reach out to us. We'd love to help.

If you want to GROW online, you need a STRATEGY. 📈

We started out on social just posting and hoping for the best. That worked, for a bit. The social media world is different now than when we started this business 5 years ago.

Now we are aware of algorithms that decide when and what content of yours is displayed and to who. We've learned that strategically posting at specific times of days or days of the week and that there is an effective and ineffective way to create posts. (Storytelling FTW).

We've learned a lot through trial, error, and research and want to share that knowledge with you, sharing is caring after all. Leave a 🙋 in the comments if you want to book a one-on-one strategy session with our marketing experts!

08/02/2022

Making reels or TikTok's doesn't need to feel stressful. Doing a little planning can make it much easier to start posting! As we say around here, plan more, stress less!

1) Come up with a concept. Sometimes when this is difficult, we start looking at what trends are popular right now and if we can use that trend in a way it relates to our own business.

2) Take a moment to think of any props you may need or the right background if it makes sense. Should you be outside? In a kitchen? Where ever you are, try to make sure you are as brightly lit as possible for the best camera quality!

3) Use trending audio. Did you know you can search for trending audio straight in the Instagram app? If you follow the 's account, they often release Trend Reports that can help you strategically pick what audios to use.

Curious about trending Tiktok audio? Check tokboard.com which chart the trending audios of the week.

4) Making multiple reels or TikTok's back to back? Consider changing your outfit. It helps make the content seem spaced out, even if you post them back to back.

And good luck! We try to plan at least 5-10 reels at a time and execute them all at once. You can do this!

If you need some help, send us a DM!

We love sharing our secrets with you! We are a marketing agency and we DO offer monthly retainer packages for social media clients. But we also share a lot of them right here with you, for free.

In February we have a whole bunch of reels related content coming your way. How to plan, how-to content batch, and what working with us looks like.

Do you have questions about reels or TikTok? DM us them or comment your question down below and we'll make sure we cover it!

If you voted yes, welcome to the party!

I'm not gonna lie to you, there is no magic formula for Instagram growth. After the holidays especially a lot of people are feeling discouraged about their reach and their metrics. But here's a secret.. during the holidays, everyone is posting. They need to sell! But usually, once major sale periods are over, things get quieter. THAT is your moment.

Growth is not just about going viral. Seeing growth means being consistent, day after day, week after week. Make sure your audience can depend on you to be there, and treat them like a good friend you regularly check in with.

You've got this, girl. And if you need some encouragement, DM us. We'd love to help.

We're nearing the LAST WEEK of January!

Are you in panic mode yet?

If you heard that and started stressing because you haven't started planning your content - This cheat sheet can help.

Start by doing a 10-minute prep session!

Get 1 blank sheets of paper, or open a google doc/note page in your phone.

This page will be your brain dump - This is where typically you would write down all of these things listed:
⚡Holidays you want to talk about
⚡National Days that are relevant to your audience
⚡Services/Products you want to promote this month
⚡Any sales or products your launching etc.

🔔 HACK ---> Some of this you can steal from the cheat sheet to save you time!

Then use this information to develop a theme for the month! - For me, this is usually based on things I want to promote, and the holidays and events going on.

This makes whatever theme you choose relevant to the time of year and what is top of mind for your audience. (I have put some ideas for you on slide 3)

Once you've picked a theme, you can use that to create post ideas & get writing.

Personally I am very visual, so I always start with images! Others I know like to start with the caption. Which do you prefer?

I hope this got you started on content planning for February!
