N/A (I do not)

I stay updated on Instagram and TikTok trends by actively using the platforms myself. As a college student, I am part of the same audience that these platforms cater to, which gives me firsthand insight into what content is trending, engaging, and relevant. By regularly exploring different creators and trends, I am able to see what resonates with my peers and understand how to create content that connects with a similar audience.

I am drawn to influencer and social media marketing because it combines creativity with digital media skills. I enjoy designing visually appealing content and thinking strategically about how people engage with it. Social media provides a space to experiment with trends, storytelling, and interactive formats in a way that connects with real audiences. I’m especially interested in creating content that feels authentic and relatable, rather than generic, so it encourages engagement and inspires people to take action.
