19 May Guest Educator – Tatum Neill
Each year, the Institute of Beauty and Wellness brings in educators of all backgrounds to support our student’s education and expand their skills and knowledge. We are excited to bring in Tatum Neill for another year of social media education.
Tatum spoke with our students and faculty on “Real Influence In The Age Of Social Media.” Tatum discussed best social media practices from building your name online, ideal photos positions for before and after’s, best editing tools, newest trends and tips for building your brand today.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Our students loved learning from Tatum Neil. The key takeaways our students and faculty will be implementing are:
- Elevate the quality of your content
- Be consistent
- Boost engagement by responding to comments and messages and having your content re-shared by tagging.
- Using the best editing tools to enhance photos and videos
- Define your light source (Fun Fact: Natural light pulls warm tones & LED light pulls cool tones)
- Define 5 content buckets (before & afters, client duo, lifestyle/inspiration, etc.) to give your feed a variety of content for clients to connect to.
