Instagram Highlights are an easy way to feature the areas of your creative practice or business that deserve the spotlight.

This session is a step-by-step guide to setting up a showreel of all you have to share.

The Workshop is delivered in a jargon-free way, but in terms of marketing nitty-gritty we will cover brand consistency, calls to action and strategic category choice.

Not only will you learn the ins and outs of making this Instagram function work for you, but the lesson also includes some basic instruction on graphic design program Canva - definitely not as scary as it sounds, you’ll love it!

The Workshop format is simple and based on some tried and tested learning models to ensure maximum productivity and that the learning sticks.

It works like this:

  • You will join me and some other creatives on a Zoom call - I will send you the meeting link 24 hours before

  • The information is delivered in two parts - after Part 1 you will do an independent Brainstorm in real time and after Part 2 you will implement what you have been taught straight away! I teach, you do, your Instagram account is improved immediately

  • You will need to have a Canva account set up in preparation for this workshop OR if you’re a Photoshop user, have an Instagram Highlight size template ready to rock!

  • The entire learning part of the session will take no longer than 90 minutes, as studies have shown this is the optimal amount of time that a person can productively focus on the same task

  • You will need to allow 2 hours for the complete session, as I like to provide lots of question time and my experience of teaching on Zoom over the last 5 months is that a "sharp" start just isn't possible, so we'll have 5 minutes to get cameras sorted, mute microphones and do the usual "Can you hear me? I can't hear you" palaver

  • Doing this in the company of strangers my feel intimidating but I can assure I create a safe space, you're all like-minded folk and the "peer pressure" of working as a visible group has a positive reinforcement effect

  • This format also means you have the opportunity to workshop or brainstorm with others in a supportive space, which when you work solo like most creatives, is something that you may not often get a chance to do. My experience of asking the cat for feedback is always met with silence, so extra people to bounce ideas off is a good thing!

  • I am available to answer questions during the entire workshop while you work through creating a complete Highlight. You simply can't get stuck!

  • I have given you the option to purchase the class notes separately, as some people like to take their own notes and others view these classes as a “one-off” task so there is no need to revisit the info. If you don’t add on the notes at the time of booking and you decided after the session that you would like them, it’s no problems as I will send you a link to buy with the follow up info

  • Please note, if you DO PURCHASE THE WORKSHOP NOTES THESE ARE SENT TO YOU AFTER THE SESSION, this is because much of what I present is dependent on the delivery to introduce the concepts so trying to get a “head start” will actually work against you

  • There are STRICTLY NO REFUNDS on any Workshop bookings, however you may use your booking as a credit toward another booking providing you cancel in writing within 48 hours of the original scheduled booking time - email anthea.m.riskas@gmail.com to do this
