Have you ever tried to make reels or shorts and wondered, "Am I doing this right? Is there a better way?". I have certainly been there. But a year ago I attended a reels presentation/workshop led by Stephanie Kennedy. Result: more confidence in creating and posting reels.

Join us the 3rd Wednesday in May at the French Pub to hear Stephanie's workshop:
Title: Getting Real with Reels
Description: A breakdown by Social Media Manager & Consultant, Stephanie Kennedy, of Reels and why they're so important to your social media presence & strategy. This presentation will come with interactive components & hands-on learning.
