Authenticity, Creativity, and Social Media

A Personal Approach to Social Media Marketing

As I finish up my last social media marketing class, as well as my last semester at Ventura College, I have to look back and think on what I’ve learned and what I need to continue to learn. And for the first time in my life, I am not going down the path of refined essays and polished projects. I have discovered a lot about myself during my time at VC, especially through fully embracing the messiness of an amateurly edited YouTube video. And what better way to sum up everything I’ve learned both socially and professionally than with an in-depth look at the social media profiles of myself and others? For a month, I posted once a day on my Instagram, trying to imitate the creators and businesses I admire in search of a version of myself that can authentically and creatively relate to audiences. So please enjoy this weird video about a weird person and her weird journey to produce authentic and creative social media content.

And please excuse the video’s less-than-HD quality and lack of music. Hopefully, it can only get better from here!

Currently a theater major, hopefully a future director. I love all creative endeavors from sewing to singing, and seek unique ways to tell older stories (and if I ever get my attention span under control, I may be able to tell new stories as well).
