    The Truth About Omni-Channel Social Media in 2023 w/The Mad Marketing Mums

    The Truth About Omni-Channel Social Media in 2023 w/The Mad Marketing Mums

    Today’s episode of Your Sparkly Brand is double the fun! We’re welcoming the hosts of The Mad Marketing Mums Podcast, Clementine Holman and Kryshla Salaris. They share insights into how they’ve helped business owners find their footing on social media and show up consistently. We also discuss how entrepreneurs can take an omnichannel approach to social media in growing their businesses, and how they can avoid creative blocks and social media burnouts.

    Clem is the Queen Bee of Honey Bee Social, where she helps businesses systemise their socials and grow their communities without the ick factor. She left the corporate space in favor of assisting people-centered businesses who struggled to find their footing on social media and felt overwhelmed by the work involved in creating and posting content. Outside of work you’ll most likely find Clem roaming around her bush property trying (and potentially failing) to grow some bush tucker, or seeking out the newest local culinary delight Sydney has to offer.

    Kryshla is an Instagram and Content Marketing Coach and the founder of Shall We Social, helping women grow their business online with sustainable strategies designed to work for YOU and YOUR business.

    With over 12 years' experience in social media marketing, Kryshla has had the pleasure of working with hundreds of small biz bosses and savvy service providers inside her courses and via 1:1 coaching, including copywriters, dietitians, authors, photographers, beauty and fitness professionals, designers, stylists and coaches.

    Her mission is to give you the confidence and skills to show up with style on any social media platform - especially on video!
