February 23: Social Media Questions and Answers

A discussion with social media expert Mimi Bascom

What is a social media “brand”? How often should I post? How is Instagram different than Facebook? How do I build an engaged audience on Instagram?

Bio: Mimi Bascom is an influencer and freelance social media manager/strategist. She enjoys creating content for her personal brand to show people that religion is still relevant, and she helps brands organically build an audience online and increase revenue (you can view her work at mimibascom.com). She is a recent BYU graduate with a bachelor’s degree in communications, and she has been working in the social media industry for the past three years.
