Episode 216: Making Social Media Fun Again with Serena Waller

Remember when social media was fun? When it didn’t feel like a huge chore to feed the social media beast? Social media is important, but it can be draining and feel like you’re on a never-ending treadmill. When social media feels tedious and exhausting, we get worse results and we miss out on the whole point: connecting with other people.

Good news: There is a way to bring ease and fun back to social media marketing and lots of ways to hack the content creation process to make the entire process so much more manageable. In this episode, you’ll learn directly from a social media strategist how you can make social media fun again AND get better results in the process.

Serena is a taco-loving, coffee-drinking, nap-obsessed #boymom (of one) and wife that enjoys hiking, traveling, surfing, yoga, flowers, organizing, reading, online shopping, and dreaming up her next big adventure.

Serena started Delegate and Elevate almost six years ago after working in catering sales, business development, and project management within the hospitality industry for almost 10 years. D&E is a social media marketing agency that helps busy wedding & creative industry professionals offload social media + blogging so they can get back to the things they love. She resides in sunny St. Augustine, Florida.
