Here is another blog post touching base on our collaborative platform; FMBe Creative.
An update on team work, communication and productivity (elements that we have sometimes lacked throughout this project), FMBe Creative are doing generally well. The past couple of team meetings that we have had have been really productive, as well as informal and chatty which has helped us to develop our relationships with each other and work better as a team. Disappointingly, there are a couple of members that are choosing not to communicate or contribute at all, to the point that it can be identifiable on our platform due to lack of posts. It is a shame because as deputy lead I would love for everyone to work together and put in equal amounts of effort, but sometimes it doesn’t work out like that. Considering these circumstances, I think we are still working really well as a team with those that are willing to contribute and demonstrate commitment.
Reflecting on my personal contribution to the collaborative platform, I think I do really well. In one of my first blog posts I outlined that sometimes I find team work tricky for various reasons, but I have definitely been able to take some positives away from this. Being nominated deputy lead a few weeks ago really boosted my confidence. Sometimes I am very self critical and doubt myself, but this result allowed me to be proud and confident in myself, and as a result work even harder to help Nataria and the rest of the team out. It is also worth me saying that I personally have been making use out of Instagram stories. I understand the effectiveness of Instagram stories for encouraging engagement, so I have been using them to ask polls regarding brand names/social media usernames, and directing followers to certain posts. For example, yesterday I launched an official Instagram page for Fortitude (see next blog for further details). I used FMBe Creative’s Instagram story to share Fortitude’s first post to encourage people to go and follow the page.
Here is what I posted/shared:
Nataria has been really great at filling us all in about her regular team leader meetings. Some of the main points that she recently highlighted that we need to think about are being more creative and innovative (such as the use of videos), as well as creating content that is going to engage and evoke interest. Going forward for this week and next, we have been discussing some content ideas. As a team we have decided to each create/film a day in the life of a FMB University student which we will post as Instagram reels. I am looking forward to filming these and hopefully seeing beneficial results regarding engagement. I am also looking forward to the NTU FMB Instagram takeovers next week; reaching out to followers and showcasing our platform and our brand development work.
