Print is dead. TV is dying. And with it, so is the power of celebrities' influence in what people consume in their everyday life. U.S. teenagers are more enamored with YouTube stars than they are the biggest celebrities in film, TV and music according to a Variety survey. The modern day celebrity is you. And you don't need millions of dollars, an attitude problem, and a video game named after you - you need to be authentic, adaptive, and tenacious.
This presentation covered how to position yourself, your connections, and love for social media into a spark that ignites brand new opportunities for even students who haven't had a chance to dip their feet in the working world - but of course, they have dipped their feet into Instagram.
It starts with Instagram and with your passions. Food, Fashion, Travel, Lifestyle, and just about anything else that attracts a tribe of loyal followers. Whether you are shooting to have meals and trips covered or you want to leverage social media to make you a more competitive applicant in the workplace, influencer marketing is your golden ticket.
Had the pleasure to present at the Workplace Skills Conference in Victoria BC and am available for further speaking opportunities.
