From Our Presenting Instructor, Naomi Fritz-
“Hi everyone, my name is Naomi Fritz. I'm a 21-year-old social media marketer and photographer, and I've been drawn to the creative side of things for as long as I can remember. Capturing a moment through a lens and helping a business tell its story online come from the same place for me: a love for people and for making things feel beautiful and real.
Over the past two years, I've helped small businesses show up online with confidence, and I'm Google Certified. But what I care about most is that social media feels exciting instead of overwhelming. I believe your business already has a story worth sharing, and you don't need to be perfect or polished to share it. In this seminar, “Social Media, Simplified,” we'll figure it out together with simple, practical steps you can start using the same day.
Registration for the seminar is US$25 per person.
