Welcome to my new series ✨ what’s working on social media right now ✨

In this new series, I will break down what is working on social media right now, so you can implement these strategies into your social media and flourish!

(Because let’s face it, everything changes so quickly on social media, and it can be hard to keep up!)

In this episode, I wanted to talk about talking head videos.

These are booming on social media right now for a couple of reasons:

🎀 People buy from people; this type of content allows people to get to know the person/people behind the brand.
🎀 No one can copy them, not exactly. There is only one you in this world, which makes this content more unique.
🎀 (I haven’t heard anyone speak about this, but I think it’s a really important point.) It’s a content type that AI can’t replicate very well at the moment - watch the video to hear why I think this.

Also, watch the full video to hear my top tips for how to create 10/10 talking head videos.

Their busiest month yet in business. 5 new patients. More enquiries.

All from a social media presence that was built to do more than just show up online.

This client wanted content that reflected how good they really are, built trust with the right audience, and helped generate more bookings.

Safe to say that’s exactly what happened 👏

Struggling with hooks for your content?

Well, let’s start with the basics.

A hook is a sentence, video frame or image that has been engineered to grab attention and stop their scroll and is usually delivered in the first 3 seconds of a video. It’s like the teaser or appetizer for your content and aims to spark:

🎀 Emotion.
🎀 Curiosity.
🎀 Immediate interest.

Why do you need a hook?

To get people to stay and read/watch your piece of content. People are bombarded with so much content nowadays and if they aren’t hooked in, they will just scroll past.

So here are some hooks that have done just that for me and clients recently.

Have you tried any of these recently?

If your content isn’t getting watched, it’s because of this 👇

This is the exact hook formula I used with a client that helped generate 235,000+ views.

The reason it worked so well is that we didn’t just rely on one type of hook; we used 3 together:

🎀 Visual hook: something fast, unexpected, or slightly shocking to stop the scroll
🎀 Verbal hook: a line that opens a curiosity gap (like “I can’t believe…”)
🎀 Written hook: a strong first line/on-screen text that makes people think

When you combine all 3, you give people multiple reasons to keep watching.

And honestly, in a world where attention spans are tiny, that makes a huge difference.

If you’re creating content for your business (or your clients), this is such a simple thing to improve but it can completely change performance.

Which one do you usually focus on most: visual, verbal, or written hooks? 💬

Summer content is calling 📞

And honestly, now’s the time to start thinking about your summer socials, because we all know the struggle of trying to get beautiful, sunny summer content when the UK weather is doing the absolute opposite.

So instead of crossing your fingers for one random sunny day, we’re going straight to one of the most iconic summer destinations:

Ibiza! 🏝️✨

I’m excited to announce that in May we’ll be doing an international content shoot in Ibiza and it’s the perfect opportunity for product-based businesses to get gorgeous, summery, Ibiza-coded content ready for your summer campaigns.

Think:

🏖️ Beaches
✈️ Girls holidays
🪩 Glitter and glitz

Those will be the vibes.

Clothing, beauty, accessories, travel, alcohol, I’m looking at you 👀 (and also any allergy brands who have travel/summer products, I have allergies).

So if your brand needs that kind of content for socials this summer, get in touch now to secure your spot.

Limited number of spots available.

The brief: elevated, luxurious, premium.
The content delivered: elevated, luxurious, premium.

This is just some of the content we captured for a client who was looking to capture her new clinic.

From the lighting to the angles to the small details, every shot was intentional, designed to:

🎀 Instantly elevate brand perception
🎀 Create a high-end, boujie feel
🎀 Build trust before a client even books
🎀 Make the clinic feel like an experience, not just a service

Because in aesthetics, visuals matter.

People don’t just buy treatments: they buy the vibe, the professionalism, and the confidence your brand gives off.

High-quality imagery helps position your business exactly where it deserves to be:

✨ Premium
✨ Aspirational
✨ Unforgettable

Your content should make people want to book before they even click the link.

And if it doesn’t, send me a message and let’s chat about how I can help.

So here is how the first month as a full-time business owner went…

Firstly, I just want to say thank you to everyone for all the lovely messages, comments and support. It really does mean the world.

I’m feeling so so grateful after this month, it’s been a bloody good one:

🎀 Started off the month in Berlin.
🎀 Had 20+ enquiries and welcomed new clients.
🎀 Did 4 content shoots.
🎀 Did a creative shoot with loads of fun props.
🎀 Hoped on another plane.
🎀 Ended the month doing my favourite thing, skiing.

(PS. if any ski brands need help with their social media, I would love to help - just saying).

What’s one thing you’re grateful for from Jan? 💬
