I stay updated with social media trends by actively using TikTok and Instagram daily and paying close attention to what’s performing well—especially hooks, formats, and editing styles. I regularly analyze trending sounds, video structures, and patterns in high-performing content to understand why they work.I also experiment with trends myself, testing different formats and adapting them to fit my content style. This helps me stay ahead of what’s working while keeping the content feeling original and not overused.Overall, I focus on spotting early patterns and quickly applying them in a way that feels natural and engaging.

I have experience creating TikTok and Instagram Reels content focused on short-form, visually engaging, and relatable videos. My content typically revolves around lifestyle, routines, and “real-life” moments, which perform well because they feel natural rather than overly produced.I consistently create content that reaches strong engagement (20K–200K likes), using fast pacing, strong hooks in the first few seconds, and storytelling to keep viewers watching. I also focus on making content that feels native to the platform, using trends, on-screen text, and simple but effective visuals.While my niche is more lifestyle-focused, my approach translates well to any industry, including fintech, because I prioritize clarity, relatability, and audience attention. I would approach fintech content by simplifying concepts and tying them into everyday situations, making it easy for a younger audience to understand and engage with.

I think about it as the difference between connection and action.Content that builds a brand focuses on creating a feeling or identity people relate to—it’s more about lifestyle, storytelling, and consistency. This type of content is designed to be shared, saved, and remembered, even if it doesn’t lead to an immediate purchase.Content that drives a purchase is more direct and intentional. It highlights the product more clearly, shows how it works, and often includes subtle proof or results, while still keeping a natural, relatable tone.Both are important, and I think the strongest strategy is a mix of both—using brand-focused content to build trust and familiarity, then layering in more product-focused content to convert that attention into action.
