OUGD601 Self Branding Social Media

Social Media

One of my weakest aspects of the last two years is keeping up with my social media presence online.  This is something I wanted to combat within third year as it’s an area I want to become more proficient in.


Instagram: I have been posting to Instagram over the years but never had a routine or schedule to what I post and when I post.  I know these are areas I need to focus on as being able to get my work across to the right audience is crucial for getting my work seen.  To help with this I have implemented this plan of action (insert time plan).  Since sticking to this target I had already seen myself gain many followers from the site with more being directed to my actual website.



Linkedin:  While I have already got an account, I have managed to increase its productivity since attending the Start Up Wednesday event that focussed on developing Linkedin.  I have managed to double the amount of connections I have on the site whilst also speaking with many professionals though it’s messaging service.



Vero: To try and keep ahead of the kerb, the new creative app known as Vero has recently launched which stated that the first million members get their account for free.  I managed to obtain one of these accounts for myself.  This app has been picked up by ITS NICE THAT which states that it could be the next big Instagram.  Now I have got my account, I will just have to wait to see if this is true. (update; so far it seem this is a flop).

Twitter:  I never had a Twitter account, however the recent competition I entered required that we submit our entries through Twitter for them to be considered.  After entering the competition and submitting my work, I have started using it more and more as time goes on as it seems like a creative outlet that most professionals use.
