Full Episode Details
When it comes to social, it’s not always easy to trust your instincts. But the most authentic content that resonates with the most people comes when social pros believe in themselves. Jay Acunzo, Host of Unthinkable and Co-Founder of Creative Kitchen, tells us why as he kicks off 2024 with a bang.
We’ve all felt the weight of bosses’ expectations, brand guidelines and our own insecurities, but it’s time we flexed our creative muscles and felt empowered to share innovative ideas.
