While many of us are cringing at the release of Instagram Reels, my guest today tells us that it’s here to stay BUT there are creative ways we can bring this feature to life (without having to dance awkwardly and point at floating text).
Using Reels is a great opportunity to showcase your personality in your business and your brand. Your audience are really looking at your business, and seeing the person behind it. They can see what you are getting up to, and you can do it in a way thats entertaining, witty & funny and really aligned with your business.
