Social Media Marketing for films

My goal is to help filmmakers use social media as a natural extension of their films and
use these channels as a tool to connect with its target audiences.

COMING SOON: This portfolio will move to filmsocialite.com

Every film is different and no campaign is made the same.It is important for me to truly understand your film and your voice as a filmmaker as my job is to help communicate your message to the world.After working on multiple award-winning films, series and festivals, I've developed the following framework:

MY APPROACH

1. Have a clear understanding of what your goals are as a filmmaker.2. Identify the natural audiences and target audiences of the film.3. Based on your goals, I will help you identify your strongest clips and promotional material. I will also suggest a series of content ideas and tactics we can use to engage with our chosen audiences.4. Setting up accounts and creation of content calendar.5. Campaign launch. Social media management and community engagement, identifying influential accounts and opportunities to cross-promote. (Option to launch paid campaigns).6. Review campaign performance and adjust.
