The Power of Instagram For Your Creative Career: Best Practices to Stand Out

Instagram is, of course, a visual social media platform. As such, it's a perfect platform for all creatives to showcase their personalities, collaborative mindset, reels, screenplay ideas, storyboards and other media. But it's also a fantastic arena to showcase not only the brand of your work, but your personal brand. But many creatives are intimidated by Instagram. They are afraid of falling into the void or not having anything interesting to say. You have to break free from that mindset! You just may be leaving one of your most important tools in your creative arsenal in the shed.

Whether you’re working on a story for film, TV, or digital, every storyteller must use the power of social media (including Stage 32!) to promote and share their work...and currently, one of the most powerful and impactful platforms to do so is Instagram. From static posts, to video posts, to Instagram stories, to IGTV, Instagram allows you to show the scope and breadth of your creative vision, dreams, and strategies. Harnessed correctly and with the right approach, IG can bring instant and much desired attention to your portfolio.
