clementine holman event on social media video Tue, Oct 4, 2022 2:00 PM SYDNEY TIME
With so many social media platforms clambering to get onto the video train, it can get a little overwhelming for us mere freelancers.
Never fear, Clementine Holman is here! Clementine is a whizz with the video and making it as friendly to you as it is to your intended audience.
ABOUT CLEMENTINE:
Clementine is a social media consultant and coach, helping businesses sustainably grow their communities and turn their social media into a working hive. Clem left the corporate space in favour of helping people-centred businesses who struggled to find their footing on social media. She’s grown a highly engaged community on TikTok and LinkedIn by showing a realistic and sustainable approach to content creation and social media management. Outside of work you’ll most likely find Clem roaming around her bush property trying (and potentially failing) to grow some bush tucker, or seeking out the newest local culinary delight Sydney has to offer. https://www.honeybeesocial.com.au/
