My story…
Hi! I’m Flick, the founder of The Social Dragonfly and a marketing expert with years of experience in helping businesses make their story known on social media.
How it all started…
In 2018, while working as an administrator for a charity, I was given the opportunity to become their Digital Marketer. What I knew about digital marketing back then was less than zero. Sure, I knew how to create a post on LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram, but I hadn’t even heard of Canva in the beginning!
Thankfully, there were plenty of businesses that were offering digital marketing training back then, and I soon found myself with a Level 4 Diploma in Digital Marketing! Wooo!
I started to create content for the company social media accounts, updated their website, send out email marketing messages every week and write blogs.
I quickly learned that I loved the blogs and social media marketing aspects, but didn’t really enjoy the other bits.
Social Media is FUN…
For me, social media is fun. It’s exciting. It’s a chance to network online with some truly fabulous and amazing people. It’s not a place for judgement, malice or spiteful comments.
That’s what I do. I spread joy and excitement through storytelling content that helps target markets connect with you emotionally (and financially). But that sounds a little word-y and not very snazzy.
Event Speaker…
Recently, I have been asked to speak at events, and I love standing on a stage and watching as the spark of inspiration comes to those I’m talking to. It most likely stems back to my theatre training and watching as a crowd became emotionally invested in the characters I played.
I Love a Good Story…
Through it all, my love of a good story has always been at the heart of what I do in life. Ever since I was a little kid, I’ve always read fictional storybooks, and I still do it even as an adult. Stories are what separate us from the animal kingdom. They’re what sets us apart.
Headhunted …
I was headhunted by a multi-award-winning social media agency based on my work for the charity, and I worked for them for a number of years before the business, sadly, closed its doors, and I was presented with a new problem – unemployment.
An idea…
An idea came to me that maybe I could start up my own business… and in September 2022, I launched The Social Dragonfly!
I had one burning idea in my head for what I wanted to do with my business, but it was so big and so huge that I knew I had to start somewhere. I wanted to rid social media of negativity and pessimism.
Teaching & Coaching…
I always wanted to offer teaching and coaching as a core part of what I do within The Social Dragonfly, because I would not be where I am today without the training, teaching, coaching and mentoring I received along the way. I’m all about helping others and inspiring them to be the best that they can be.
