In episode 28 we’re going to tackle Instagram marketing. If you’re anything like me, you might not necessarily the biggest fan of social media, but do understand its importance. So, before you go heading for another podcast to listen to, pause for a moment to consider this episode not as a lesson in social media (although it will be a great one), but as a lesson on how to build a dedicated following and get your message out into the world more effectively.
Episode 28 features Lily Allen-Duenas as our resident expert on Instagram marketing. Although this discussion is specific to Instagram, a lot of her advice can be applied to many different social media platforms. What is unique about Lily is that she has a professional background in both marketing AND fitness, which provides her a unique perspective to advise fitness and wellness professionals on how to curate content and nurture their communities online.
You’ll find a number of actionable takeaways from this episode. Among the most important is how to ensure your own unique voice and message shines through in the social media world. Lily is very pragmatic about her recommendations and provides a framework through which you can approach social media that is comfortable and authentic for you as a fitness and wellness professional, but also as a human. This is a must listen for anyone looking to grow their brand and thought-leadership in the contemporary fitness and wellness space.
