What aspects of Spring Fair 2024 are you most excited for?

As a first-time visitor to the Spring Fair, I’m excited to soak up the latest retail trends and innovation from leading brands and expert speakers. It will be interesting to hear about the latest trends happening within retail, outside of the marketing bubble I sit in! I’m particularly interested to hear about the effects of AI and how it is being used. I will no doubt be exploring the exhibiting retailers too, looking to explore some great new homeware and fashion businesses.

 

During your talk at Spring Fair, which compelling advancements will you share?

It’s great to see businesses trying new things in social media; whether that’s testing out a new platform or experimenting with a new style of content. I’m aiming to inspire those attending my talk to mix up their current approach to social media and to think outside the box – which is a great way to get noticed in the competitive social media feeds.

I’d love to see more collaboration from retailers in social media – whether that’s with other brands or with influential content creators online. It can bring such huge opportunity to reach brand new audiences in social media and I’ll be discussed exactly how to approach a collaborative post, competition or promotion online.
 

What can we expect from your talk at the Masterclass Studio?

Expect the latest social media trends, tips, and inspiration across platforms such as TikTok, Instagram, WhatsApp, LinkedIn and more. I love to include plenty of practical quick wins as well as long term strategic advice. If you’re thinking about improving your social media marketing output in 2024 then this is the talk for you.
