We aren't all video editors, but is and she told us that having a creative library is a MUST if you want to excel in video editing.

Let’s jump in:

✅ Get Inspired: Your creative library is a vault of past ideas and footage, ready to inspire your next big idea.

According to Forbes, 70% of employers say creative thinking is the most desired skill in today's job market.

Creativity isn't just an artistic pursuit anymore; it's necessary for problem-solving, collaboration, and generating fresh ideas that drive success in every industry.

If you want to ensure that your services are valued, here are a few tricks:
☑️ Don't just showcase what you do, explain the "why"
behind your creative decisions.
☑️ Showcase case studies that align with your ideal client's needs.
☑️ When presenting ideas, frame them regarding their impact
on the bottom line and business growth.
☑️ Yes, your services are worth that amount.

Start nurturing your creativity because we are!

If we had a dollar for every time we have heard the phrase "UGC" in the last few months...🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑

But here's why:

✅ Firstly, research shows that people trust recommendations from regular people more than influencers. 50% of consumers rely on user-generated content (UGC) videos to discover new products or services.

✅ Secondly, while short-form video content is popular, there is still a demand for long-form content. For example, TikTok recently extended its video length limit to 10 minutes.

✅ Thirdly, a Nielsen study found that 83% of global consumers rely more on brand stories than traditional advertising. This highlights the importance of storytelling in building trust and brand loyalty.

✅ Lastly, relatable content is highly appealing. That's why you're still reading this, right?

Everyone loves a juicy scandal, an underdog story or a good laugh. 😁

If your content has all three, then you're sorted 👀 If not, remember—people connect with stories instead of generic sales content. Start sharing your business's and customers' unique stories. For instance, a local bakery could share the journey of its founder's passion for baking.

And we know it's not always as easy as we make it seem, but it's worth it in the end. Use the frameworks we mentioned as a guide and personalise them to fit your business model so you can see actual results.

10 HOOKS TO MAKE YOUR POST GO VIRAL ⬇️
See what we did there? 👀

Great hooks capture a viewer's attention, and if your content isn't doing that, then it might explain why it's underperforming.

Here's what you need to know about how to write better hooks:

🪝 Ditch vapid beginnings.
No more "hey there"! Try a question to spark curiosity, a relatable anecdote, or something that evokes emotion.

🪝 Focus on solutions, not problems.
Don't just list features. Address a common pain point your audience faces and show how your product or service solves it.

🪝 Offer value, not just sales.
People come to social media for solutions and entertainment, not pitches. Highlight the transformation your product or service brings and the value it offers.

Craft captions that captivate, and watch your engagement soar!

Building a successful business is EASY!

JK 👀

But seriously, if you're not keeping up with competitors, you're making it 100x more difficult for your business to succeed. Hence, conducting a competitor analysis is vital. Not only because it allows you to match your competitors but also because it gives you an edge.

Unsure about how to execute a competitor analysis? Start by researching the following hot topics about the competition:

🔥 Their product/service
🔥 Their brand
🔥 Their marketing
🔥 Their technology
🔥 Their customers

Pro tip: Being proactive rather than reactive is crucial when trying to gain a competitive advantage.

Still, have no idea what you're doing? Email us | [email protected] 📧

2 NB things to keep front of mind when trying to create converting content ⬇️

1. Make sure the content is as concise as possible. Highlighting the significant takeaways from the topic at hand. Don't be afraid to be blunt and add a little spice to your content. Today's consumers appreciate authenticity and transparency.

2. Make use of attention-grabbing headlines and captions. The headline must be compelling enough to make users stop scrolling and take notice. A captivating headline sets the stage for the rest of the content, drawing users in and sparking their curiosity.

Swipe for ways to make your brand memorable! ➡️

Sometimes, email strategies just fail to take off.

Why? Because businesses tend to be satisfied with having a stale email strategy that doesn’t fulfil their goals. This is because they are unwilling to test new ideas and formats. Consequently, email marketing just gets discarded or forgotten.

If you want to revive your email marketing strategy, DM us.

You're more likely to get hired ASAP if you follow the tips below! 🥳

Okayyy, we can't really promise that because it is not statistically proven BUT hey, at least you won't be a walking red flag anymore...

🟢 People don't read anymore! So, refrain from using long text on graphics - we're lazy, AND we don't have time... Use short, bite-size info that's quick and easy to consume. Less is more.

🟢 If you lack inspiration, check out templates and pull SOME design aspects or inspiration from there. If you're set on having a more humanized design - consider getting in front of the camera and creating your content instead of using stock imagery.

🟢 Alignment and consistency are everything! Design consistency improves usability and learnability. Consistency should be an integral part of your design so that people can grasp the content quickly. Ensure you've aligned your designs by reading through brand guidelines and regularly performing quality checks.

🟢 NB: CANVA TEMPLATES ARE FOR INSPO ONLY!! Do not use a CANVA template as is. Instead, pull some design ideas or elements from the templates and make them your own. After all, graphic design, like all other creative outlets, is about self-expression. Even if you're designing for a brand, we still want to see some of YOU in the designs.

DO CONTENT CREATORS EVEN GET PAID?

The simple answer is yes, and very well too. However, transforming your passion into a lucrative venture can often feel overwhelming.
We are here to guide you - success in this field demands a thoughtful strategy, with relatable and compelling content.

Here are 4 tips on how to become a well-paid content creator:

☑️ Metrics Matter Most: When striking up good deals with brands, having your key metrics on hand is very useful. Know your reach, your average engagement as well as any successful previous case studies of work you have done!

☑️ Make sure your portfolio slaps: This links with the first point, but as a content creator, you simply cannot afford to have an average-looking portfolio. Spend some time on it and make sure you keep it updated.

☑️ Follow the right people: Although it is VERY important to have a niche that you target your content towards and that follows you, it is just as important to follow brands that you would like to work with and keep up-to-date with their content, commenting and engaging with them and shooting your shot when you see a gap.

☑️ Quality and consistency are key: No, not quantity. Focusing on the context and overall quality of your content is way more impactful. Instead of trying to push out as MUCH as possible, set a realistic goal and remain consistent so that brands know what to expect and can trust you to deliver high-quality output.

Juggling creativity and entrepreneurial skills often poses a challenge for content creators but hopefully, these tips make it a bit easier.

Coffee runs are for more than just vibes guys 👀☕

This morning, I went to grab coffee for the team before our work day, and the wholesome energy I received when they realised that I remembered their coffee order was unreal. 😂

Coffee (or hot chocolate in Shaylah's case - lol) runs are about connection, and intention. So here's your sign to go grab a coffee with your team.

“One very underrated piece of advice I’ve received in my twenties is to learn how to get things done. irregardless if it’s something you’re passionate about or not.

You shouldn’t be able to do something only if you’re excited. What’s going to happen on the days when you don’t feel very inspired? There are going to be a lot of those days. If you are only able to work when you’re excited, you will spend most of your days doing nothing. and nothing will happen. because you’ve spent most of your days doing nothing.

If you don’t know what you want to do with your life, learn how to get things done. learn how to say something and actually do it. learn how to make a vision come to life. learn how to get things done.

What you will find is that all of those skills are transferable. when the time comes down the road when you find something you are passionate about, you will know how to achieve it.” – RonWritings
