TIKTOK for RESTAURANT MARKETING SPEAKER

Social media platforms like TikTok have become powerful tools for businesses looking to connect with a younger and more tech-savvy audience. 

However, most business owners and chefs don’t know how to get started.

With experience working with Michelin Star restaurants and London pubs, I will present my expertise on the subject of TikTok for restaurant marketing. And I have many of viral results to show as case studies!

TikTok can be leveraged to boost a restaurant’s visibility, engage with customers in creative ways, and ultimately drive more customers through the doors. 

These are some of the topics on which I can share valuable insights and strategies:

  • How to Get Started the Right Way on TikTok
  • How to Generate Ideas for TikTok (Content Pillars for Restaurants)
  • How to Film and Edit TikTok Video
  • How to Understand Social Media Trends and Create Viral Videos on TikTok

My next speaking appearances are at The Restaurant Show at NEC Birmingham in 2024.

Previously I was at The Restaurant Show at Olympia London on 3rd October. The session included a panel focusing on the topic ‘TikTok: Connecting with Your Customers’. As a panel expert, I highlighted the opportunities that social media offers restaurants and pubs with a particular focus on TikTok.

SOCIAL MEDIA SCHOOL SPEAKER

Did you know that 1 in 4 of those in Gen Z aspire to become an influencer?

Rather than speak to students about social media safety, I have a different spin and work with teenagers on how to develop their own profitable online brand- ethically.

Everyone tells teens what not to do on social media and the internet. But who is showing them what they need to do? My workshops and speaking engagements teach students how to capitalise on their entrepreneurial spirit and to market their skills digitally.

After spending seven years as a high school principal in New York, I know what it takes to lead students and a school to success. When I moved to London in 2013, I combined this knowledge with experience in media and publicity to create ‘Sunny in London.’ This brand, website and now business has over 70,000 followers. 

Brands with whom I’ve collaborated include: Visit London, Thorpe Park, Jamie Oliver’s, BBC, Warner Bros (Harry Potter Studio Tour) City Cruises, Virgin Active, Kiehl’s, Regent Street, Carnaby Street, Jacksonville Jaguars and more. 

In the past few years I have taken on roles as a video content creator for London’s largest hotel group and TikTok account manager for London’s most iconic Michelin Star restaurants.

Workshop and Speaking Topics for High School Students  include:

  • How to Monetise Your Social Media
  • How to Begin on LinkedIn
  • How to Identify Your USP

I look forward to discussing ideas about your upcoming event and how I can be included as a speaker.
