TASK 02

✧ We were briefed on week 01 about task 02, unlike last semester's students, we will all as a group search for our own clients to create the social media for, which we will need time to work on.
✧ Requirements for the client is that: they will have to be a small business.
✧ Hence the start of our hunt for clients begins. 
✧ For our group, the categories we primarily looked into were, businesses selling drinks, small cafes & candles.
✧ We've sent out collaboration invites to the businesses in hopes to receive a reply. & finally, we got a reply from @alocha.kombucha, a kombucha small business brand.

✧ After gaining more understanding into the brand, we moved on to brainstorming about what sorts of social media content we could create.
✧ One takeaway from the meeting, was that the founder is leaning more towards creating reels which according to her social media platform's insight has the most engagement

FEEDBACK

Client's Feedback:
We worked with Alocha Kombucha's Ms Joanne. Throughout our weeks working together, she thinks that we are a good team that works well together. Key words like adaptable and efficient were used to describe our working style. Constant updates were sent her way to show her our progress.


REFLECTION

Experience
For this project, we worked with a small business owner as a team, which was refreshing to me as I am more used to working with clients on my own. As a team we got to split the job load so everyone got even jobs. We started off brainstorming all the possible ideas for the client, the process of it was fun. With the brainstorming session, we went through each of our social medias to see what trends are out there that we can recreate by adding the client's brand in it, sort of like a brand placement. Our client was also nice to reply us, and gave us feedbacks on the posts.

Observations
We went through different social media platforms to see which type of posts has more engagement and has the potential to be re produced for our clients. Our teammates surfed through tiktok, xiao hong shu and instagram. All platforms have different engagement terms even though the target audience might be similar. During our observations, we observed that on xiao hong shu, recipe video does very well on this platform, however when we replicated it for the client's instagram, the engagement was not as well done as expected. Tiktok's & Instagram's trends are similar and can be brought across both platforms with similar resulted engagement.  

Findings
Shooting takes a lot of time and planning before the event itself. We went for a few outdoor shootings throughout the project and the shooting itself is quite successful. We had a shooting with the client at their booth in Sunway Convention Centre. I was in charge of 2 jobs on that day, the first being a videographer and an interviewer. I had experience in video taking as I have acquired the skill so it was quite alright for me to work with it. As an outspoken person, I took up the interviewer position. It was not as hard as it looks, however it was a bit scary to approach people randomly. But I overcame it at the end~.
