How to succeed at Instagram

Did you know there are 1 billion monthly active users on Instagram? It's never been more important to nail your brand strategy and build a highly targeted and engaged audience on one of the world's biggest social media platforms. New Zealand's first professional Instagrammer Liz Carlson of @YoungAdventuress will run you through everything you need to know about building a successful Instagram page to help you achieve your business goals. 

The evening will consist of the Instagram workshop + Q&A + networking drinks and snacks at NODE.

An award-winning photographer and writer, she is based by the sea in Lyttelton.

She co-founded The Travel Bootcamp in 2015 teaching people how to build a career in travel (with 7 successful events to date).
