Mila for the People
Instagram Rehaul
Overview
While in Bali, I met Mila, an aspiring photographer eager to collaborate with brands and entrepreneurs. Despite her talent for capturing stunning visuals, her Instagram presence lacked the necessary visibility and engagement to attract her dream clients. To address this, I overhauled her branding and marketing strategy, focusing on increasing exposure and refining her Instagram content.
