​
Our initial 2-hour one-on-one session will be focused on your business. This includes your current social media and online presence, and marketing strategies for your business. We will look at the current branding and discuss details such as your target market, current marketing and promotional tools, social media presence, and future goals for branding, growth and marketing reach. We will review the overall branding, as well as the cohesion between all visual marketing elements. From there we will establish and pinpoint areas where branding and imagery may need refinement to create a cohesive representation that will best represent you and appeal to your audience.
​
In our second 2-hour session we will venture into the specifics of visual marketing. We will discuss your Instagram and Facebook feeds, and look at the quality of your content. We will view other social media accounts in your field or industry, and discuss where you fit and what unique assets you offer. I will also offer tips on what content might work best for you (such as TikTok, Reels, IG Video, Instagram and Facebook stories and feed posts), and how to use those tools to engage with your target market. We will explore Instagram features and how they can be used to gather free market research from both your existing and potential customers, as well as discuss social media algorithms and posting strategies to get the maximum reach with your content.
​
Next, we will create a feasible and realistic visual marketing strategy catered to your needs and ideal workload. We will discuss posting schedules and streamlining options. You will also receive a custom designed set of social media hashtags designed for maximum growth, and learn how to use admin tools such as Canva, FB Business Suite, HootSuite, and Google Suite to streamline and diversify your daily marketing workload while creating impact.
​
In our fourth 2-hour session, we will apply everything discussed, and we will meet at your location of choice (or in my studio) to professionally photograph you and your brand to get you started. We will use this hands-on time to discuss the artistic process of marketing imagery, and discuss tips on how to use composition, light, background, and colour to further reinforce your brand.
You will receive 15-20 final images, which can be used in any future marketing (Image credit: Story Thorburn Photography).
