Let's talk about where I started 4 years ago, I.. 👇

🌟 Started working for myself in 2020
🌟 Had work coming in from friends and word of mouth
🌟 Had no idea how to gain new clients from my social media

So I started posting my portfolio online, messaging a few potential clients, but this was getting me hardly any replies and I kept being ghosted 👻

I was putting all this effort in, creating content, taking photos of myself, shooting behind the scenes videos to post and I was left feeling disheartened when I would post this content and still get hardly any interest 🫠

👉 So what I worked on was my messaging, getting my audience to stop scrolling and pay attention to my content by speaking directly to them and getting them thinking 'That's exactly what I was thinking'

By doing this, I was gaining more trust with my audience and engagement rates were going up

Leading to me to start receiving enquiries like the above in a few weeks! ✨

And it can be the same for you if you are stuck in a similar place! 👉 If you want to learn tactics to attract your ideal clients, grow on social media and know how to write messaging that is going to convert your leads into sales...

Then introducing my new service.. The Power Hour ✨🥳

The reason why you feel like no one is finding you on Instagram, even though your participating in trends, has nothing to do with the fact you haven't used paid ads 👇

But it's because you profile is not SEO friendly ✨

There are several areas that I look at with my clients when it comes to SEO when I carry out an audit of their profile, but one of the most important areas that I see most business owners miss out on sales is their bio

What you need to be focusing is 👇

➡️ Specifying what you do in your name
➡️ Using keywords related to your business in your bio
➡️ Making sure your link is working and doesn't include a lot of steps to get to where you want your audience to be

When you fix these issues, you'll start reaching a wider audience meaning you're more likely to get noticed by your dream clients and therefore, more sales! 🥳💫

This is why with my new service coming up, I include a full profile audit and SEO optimisation, so you can increase your visibility, attract more aligned clients and grow an audience of ideal buyers ✨

If you know you need an expert to set up you up with a full profile audit AND give you the tools and tactics I use myself and with my client to get results on social media.. 👇

Then something new is coming..

DM me the word EARLYBIRD to hear the details first and have first dibs on the early bird spots available

❗EARLYBIRD DISCOUNT PRICE COMING NEXT WEEK ❗

OR if you wanted everything done for you and have social media taken off your to do list completely and managed by an expert then my Kickstart and Excellence packages are for you! Pop me a message if this is something you're interested in and let's chat to see if it's right for you! 🥳

If you're currently feeling overwhelmed with all the changes on social media and are currently feeling like your old technique are no longer working, then this could be your solution 👇

I know how frustrating it can be when you do all the right things such as

➡️ Posting consistently and frequently
➡️ Creating great reels
➡️ Engaging with others on the platform

But your reach is still decreasing... Does this sound familiar?

What if I told you that it might not be the algorithm that's holding you back, but the fact peoples buying habits have changed 🧠

This is exactly what happened to me a couple of years ago, I was doing all the right things, creating reels, posting daily stories and engaging with my audience 👉 But after doing the same tactics for years, they were no longer working for me

So what I decieded to do was have refresh on my market research, what did my audience want to hear from me? What grabbed their attention? What language can I use that will turn them from cold to hot leads?

Once I gathered my new market research and implemented it into my messaging, I started to notice a change in my engagement rates and also the enquires I was receiving! 🥳

So as soon as you shift from your old ways and freshen up your approach, you will start to see results like I did!

So many business owners remain confused with how to gain success from social media in 2024

That's why my new service (coming very soon) is built to cut through the noise, and nail down the best social media strategies to reach your goals going forward 💫🥳

So you can start putting your time and effort into social media where it will actually make a difference and stop being left with disappointment when your old tactics no longer work

👉💫 If you want to learn tactics to attract your ideal clients, grow on social media and know how to write messaging that is going to convert your leads into sales...

Then something new is coming.. 👀

07/08/2024

It’s frustrating when you've been posting consistently, but you're still feeling like no one cares about what your saying 🥱

And I see often with my clients that the issue isn’t with the amount your posting but with your profile 👇

Ask yourself, have you...

➡️ Checked your highlights?
➡️ Set up your profile for SEO?
➡️ Written your bio so it summarises what you do effectively?
➡️ Checked all of your links work?

If you're thinking 'Omg I haven't done any of these', then you need a Profile Audit 💫

Most people are so heavily focused on their content that they forget about the first impression they are giving clients

👉 And this is why I'm including a full profile audit and optimisation in my new service coming very soon

So your profile will... 👇

🌟 Be set up with SEO tactics to show up in searches
🌟 Impress clients when they land on your profile, positioning yourself as an expert
🌟 Have clear call to actions so we can convert profile visits into leads

If you know you need someone to spot the gaps on where you can improve your social media presence and give you the tools to start writing captions that spark that interest again 👇

Then something new is coming.. 👀

DM me the word EARLYBIRD to hear the details first and have first dibs on the earlybird spots available 👆🥳

I know how confusing it is when you see all these tips an tricks online saying 👇

➡️ Do X to get more followers
➡️ Short form videos are better than long form
➡️ Best trending audios for business owners
➡️ Always add captions when talking on reels
➡️ Don't post more than 15 stories a day

And you're thinking what ACTUALLY works, where can I put my energy and time in to make a difference and start gaining new clients from social media 🤔

With all this conflicting information online, it's hard to have clarity on what to actually do to see results from social media 🤯

And this is why my previous client came to me, she was constantly doom scrolling online, wasting a lot of her time creating content that didn't work and she felt confused and disappointed every time her content that she spent ages on would flop

👉💫 When we started working together, we focused on building a content strategy that we could post alongside that would keep her aligned, showcase what she had on offer and bring her new clients for her business

Giving her clarity on what actually worked helped her re-align her focus on posting content, taking out the guesswork and meant she could enjoy posting on social media again 🥳🥳

👉 And this is exactly why I started to build my new offer coming very soon, to help other business owners cut through the noise that they see online and nail down the best social media strategies for their business to reach their goals

Posting consistently online only works if you've done this first 👇

If you're not having potential clients pop up in your DM's, then this could be why (and it's not because of the time of day your posting)

I know how frustrating it is when you are doing all the right things

✨ Posting consistently
✨ Engaging with your audience
✨ Providing valuable content

But still having no one enquire to work with you 💤

👉 What if I told you that you could have your dream clients reaching out by making this one change

Making sure you optimise your profile page and creating a professional first impression 🌟

This is exactly what my client noticed was wrong when they came to me, they were doing all the right things but weren't seeing an increase in leads

This where we picked up during their profile page audit that they had out of date highlights, the feed was looking a bit random and their bio was unclear as to what they did and how they could help their customers

👉 Are you feeling frustrating with social media right now and feel like you're getting nothing out of all the time you spend on it?

DM me the word 'SOCIALS' or click the link in bio for more info on we can work together! ✨👆

How I went from cold messaging clients to clients reaching out to work with me 🥳👇

When I first started working for myself, all my new clients and work came from word of mouth

And although I built up ongoing and lovely relationships with these clients, I was still looking for more work ❤️

But every time I would message a potential client on LinkedIn / Insta I would👇

❌ Get ghosted
❌ Be told we don't need support right now
❌ Them replying saying I'll add you to our contact list and get back to you

And I would never hear from them again 👻

So I decided to start posting on social media to get clients coming to me

So what I worked on was:

🌟 Market research - What desires and pain points do my clients have, how can I help them? What are they looking for? How can I solve their problems?
🌟 Having a clear content strategy so everything I post was relevant to my industry
🌟 Block out time - my own marketing is just as important and I let this slip, especially during busy periods

Now, my content brings in potential clients are coming to me about working together! ❤️

And it can be the same for you if you are stuck in a similar place!

In my social media packages, I will be using the exact tactics I use myself to help you, so you don't need to worry about finding time alongside your business to post on social media

👉 If you're ready to ditch the overwhelm and have an expert manage everything social media for you

Then my Kickstart or Excellence packages are for you!

Stop only focusing on trends if you actually want to make sales through Instagram reels 👇

There are so many experts out there telling you to just focus on creating content based around trends and you'll be fine

And I completely disagree! ❌

When really, to grow your engagement and views on reels you need to be considering these various factors:

🌟 Creativity
🌟 Originality
🌟 Storytelling
🌟 Engagement

Be unique and think outside the box when creating your next reel. Put yourself in you audiences shoes, would you stop scrolling to watch your content?

👉 Just like my client who struggled to get any client interest from her reels. She was posting consistently but fell
into the trap of listening to everyone tell her to just to base her content around trends

She was left confused and overwhelmed by being told too many different things 🤷‍♀️

I simplified her reels strategy and created a batch of valuable and engaging monthly reels that kept her audience watching past the 3 second mark (which the Insta algorithm loves) ✨💫

Meaning her reels started bringing in more views, likes and therefore new audiences!

Now I use these methods in my reels editing and strategy plans for my clients!

If you're ready to stop posting reels that blend into the crowd and start posting professional content online then now is the time to get in touch!

Are you constantly scrolling through your camera roll to try and find a good picture to post? 📸👇

Then this is what you need to have a batch of fresh content to use every month ✨

If every time you go to post something are you 👇

❌ Scrolling through your camera roll struggling to find something good to post
❌ Re-using the same content
❌ Not posting as much as you could because of the lack of good photos and videos you have

What if I told you that you could have a bank of bespoke video and photo content each month done for you?

So all you have to do is open an album on your phone, scroll through hundreds of content and you're ready to post!

This is exactly what my client does every month after a Content Shoot Day 🥳

And after posting high quality content consistently, he saw an increase in impressions and enquires in just one month!

When you nail posting great content - you’ll be able to achieve high engagement and attract (and retain!!) those dream clients! 🌟

So many business owners remain stuck when creating great content, which is why I created my packages to help other business owners get un stuck when it comes to social media!

👉 If you want to freshen up your content with new photos and videos then my one-off service content shoot day is what you need!

OR if you're looking to have EVERYTHING content creation taken off your to do list, then I have my Stand Out package!

It’s crazy to think I was in Florida this time last week for a Content Shoot Day in Tampa! 🌴🌞🇺🇸

I bet you’re thinking, why did I go all the way to America for 2 days?

My lovely client of 4 years has usually had a great stream of enquires through, but the last few months, interest had started to quieten down.. 

They were experiencing: 

❌ Low engagement rates 
❌ Getting ghosted in the DM’s 
❌ Worrying about becoming less relevant in the market 

In the last year, my clients UK company had expanded into the US market - which is AMAZING!! 

But they weren’t reaching those dream clients in the US 👉 And this is why we decided to plan a content shoot day and meet up with the US team in Tampa, Florida where their office is based 

👉 They needed to grab their audiences attention but hadn’t been able to achieve this as they had no content to prove they were taken seriously in the US 

We had recently conducted a content shoot day with their UK team and ALREADY they have gained over 15 people reaching out to them in their DM’s just from this content ✨🌟

This worked so well because their content was:

🌟 Fresh and new
🌟 Showed the personality of the business
🌟 Built professionalism 

Capturing content in the US increased that social proof that they have a great team, an office and are ready to go! 🎊

People like to see people online, they can relate to them as it shows their human side

When Mark Zuckerberg created Facebook (the OG of social media), he created it so people could be nosey into each others lives 

And this is still the case today! 

🌟 So I now offer content shoot days as a one-off service alongside my social media packages, because I believe it’s that extra touch that makes you stand out, look more professional and more importantly - have fun doing them! 

DM me the word ‘CONTENT’ or click the link in bio for more info! 🥳 

OR if you are looking for social media to be COMPLETELY taken off your hands I have my ‘EXCELLENCE’ package which has social media management and content creation done for you 💫🌟

Consistently posting but not getting any interest?

🌟 Is the structure clear and easy to follow?
🌟 Will my audience find this interesting?

Photo / Graphic / Video

🌟 Is it visually appealing?
🌟 Is the colour scheme in line with my brand?
🌟 Is it high quality with no pixelation

Golden hour is my favourite hour 🌞✨

In desperate need to sort out my working space at the moment, although it looks pretty, it’s not doing wonders for my back 🤣

I’ve been struggling with upper back pain for a few months now so I’ve decided to bite the bullet and invest in a standing desk and better chair 🥳

One thing I love about being a freelancer is to be able to work wherever I am! 💻

A few weeks ago I went away on holiday with family and decided to take my laptop with me to catch up on work. Doing this meant I didn't fall behind on work and also it was so nice to switch up my working environment!

My previous break, before this one, was the first time I actually took a whole week off of work and it actually helped me decide on some difficult decisions and helped me focus on what steps I wanted to take next.

So there is definitely benefits to working whilst on holiday AND taking a complete break when you need it! 🌴

5 Tools you need as a freelancer! ✨

These are just some of my favourite tools to use and honestly couldn’t live without!

🌟 Adobe Creative Suite

Obviously I couldn't live without these programmes, I use these to create all of my work from video editing to animations, graphic designs etc.

I’ve known how to use Premiere Pro whilst at college and university but the rest I’ve either learnt from self teaching or with online courses and good old YouTube!

🌟 Asana

I used Asana in my previous job so I already knew it pretty well. But I've only recently moved to Asana for my own business and it has been a game changer to keep everything organised, especially because I'm a multi-tasking freak!

🌟 Answer The Public

Found this helpful tool from watching other freelancers on YouTube and it's a great way to find out what your potential audience are asking about online!

🌟 Toggl Track

I use Toggl Track to track my time on each individual working project and so far it's been great. For a multitasker like me, this is great to manage my time and make sure I'm on track.

🌟 Weekly Planner

I've had this planner since I first started freelancing and I think I'd be lost without it. It helps me plan the week ahead, delegate what days I'm working on which project and keeps me productive! (and of course, it matches my branding and looks pretty)

✨What are your favourite tools to use? Let me know in the comments! 👇

Happy 🥳

Working on social media strategies for the past 4 years has made me realise what a great tool these social platforms are! It’s also crazy to see how much things have changed in such a short space of time. From the growth with TikTok and Reels to the annoying new Instagram algorithms!

Here are some of my favourite MIND-BLOWING social media statistics:

🌎 As of April, there were 4.65 BILLION social media users worldwide.

🥳 The TikTok app has been downloaded over three billion times with 1.2 billion active users!

🎬 In 2022, 82% of global internet traffic will come from either video streaming or video downloads

👀 On social media, visual content is 40 times more likely to be shared than non-visual content.

🍔 Nearly 9 out of 10 brands use more than one social media platform.

With those numbers, you’d be pretty silly not to jump at the opportunities social media has to offer, especially as a brand, small business, or influencer!

(Alternatively, if you’re feeling stuck and need a little assistance, feel free to pop me a message for a quick chat to see how I could help you thrive online! 🥳)

20/06/2022

It's official!! I'm now a FULL TIME self employed freelance creative! 🎉

Since I started freelancing I've worked as a part-time Marketing Executive to support me financially and because I loved the people there. But as my client base grew larger, I started to struggle to manage my time and put my best effort creatively into both jobs. So the time has come where I have left my part-time role and am now a full time freelance creative!

I'm so excited for what is yet to come and to really push myself out of my comfort zone with this new chapter ahead 🥳

As people say - nothing great comes from comfort zones, so let's do this!

MERCIECA CREATIVE IS 2 YEARS OLD! 🥳

2 years ago today I started my online portfolio on Instagram, never imagining that doing this would allow me to work for myself doing what I love!

Since I started professionally working for myself I have:

- Worked with over 55+ new clients
- Continue to work with 9 of these clients repeatedly
- Doubled my yearly income since my last tax year
- Worked on 225+ creative projects which include Video Editing, Animation, Motion Graphics, Social Media Marketing, Graphic Design and much more!

And there's A LOT more exciting things to come 🥂🎊

11/04/2022

Do you want more awareness for your business? 💫

Motion graphics is a great way to engage your audience in your social posts and have them be more interested in what you're trying to sell / tell them about you 📣

Video posts on social media capture your viewers attention within the first few seconds. This is because the algorithm is a lot more generous if you're using video content.

🤔 Don't have a lot of video content to post? Motion graphics is a great alternative to carry on posting videos and still attract your audience!

Pop me a message if you're interested in motion graphics for your social media 🎬

Quote of the week 💛

Recently, I've been experiencing serious burn out the last few weeks! (hence why I've been so quiet on social media) 😅

Taking a step back has allowed me to make more creative decisions, re-focus my goals and figure out a better way of doing things!

Sometimes it's definitely better to take a step back for a second, rather than power through ✨

About Me

I've always had a passion for films since I was young, making YouTube videos when I was 12 (these videos will not be posted for people to see 😂) and which led me to study Media at school, college & university 🎥 After 6 years of video experience studying & working professionally, I have developed my editing, filming & animation skills.

In 2017 I worked in Sydney, Australia with a Film Production company called Filmotion Studios. Here I learnt how to work on videos in a professional environment. I also enhanced my skills such as learning Colour Grading, documentary editing & camera operating. I graduated with a First in Media Production at Bournemouth University in 2018 & after leaving university, I decided to learn more about Marketing to be able to use my video skills in advertising & promotional videos. In 2018 I started working for Brean Leisure Park & Holiday Resort Unity as a Marketing Executive.

I learnt a variety of skills such as digital marketing, graphic design, social media & much more. I also was able to create promotional videos for different types of businesses such as a Holiday Resort, Restaurants, Indoor Play Area, Waterpark, Events & much more!

All the skills I've learnt over the years have brought me to start advertising my services as a freelancer in 2020. If you want to have a chat about creating video & animations to promote your brand or services, feel free to pop me a message ☺️
