Hi Instagram šš¼
I thought it was time to introduce / reintroduce myself.. Iām Clare owner of CMP creative a social media management business based in Northern Ireland.
I help small businesses grow with strategy, content & creativity.
If you love marketing tips, social media advice, behind-the-scenes, and a bit of general life as a mum of two business owner then youāre in the right place āØ
Big shout out to some of my wonderful clients who feature in this video @lucidcoffeeroasters@holywoodwinebar@visionfabricationslimited āļø
Thanks to everyone who has hit that follow button & to those who have just found me , welcome š«
Honestly? Some days wonder if Iām doing enoughā¦
And then I look back at the last 4 months and thinkā¦ flip.. ok maybe I am š
Working with Bank of Ireland Open Farm, Seeing my work printed in magazines, Designing banners being used at conferences, Welcoming amazing new clients, Delivering results that genuinely make my heart happy & lots of content days doing what I love ā¤ļø
Itās easy to just keep moving onto the next thing without stopping to acknowledge how far youāve come..
So Iām stopping and giving myself a pat on the back š
Thanks to all my clients & my incredible network for keeping me so busy Iām only updating what Iāve been up to 5 months into the year š
Hereās to May & the brighter months ahead šš»
Such a great day at the @bankofireland@openfarmweekend host day event last week at @discovercafre š š
Loved getting the chance to meet & catch up with so many of the incredible host farms, sponsors & supporters behind it all, the passion, stories and work that goes into each farm is incredible ā¤ļø
I also had the pleasure of delivering a social media workshop, sharing how farms can better tell their story online (and introducing my FARM framework šš²) + we made sure to capture the day with photos & some Vox pops with our host farms š¤
A huge thank you to @parleycomms for trusting me with this Iāve genuinely loved being part of this project so far. Visiting farms, hearing their stories and helping bring that to life online has been so special
Roll on the next few weeks as we lead up to Open Farm Weekend š¬šš»
The Failed Outtakes: The Reality of Shooting āTalking Headā Video Content
Hereās a compilation of every time I messed up my lines
ā¢
Iāve shot over 1000 videos in my life
99.9% of the time editing magic takes these moments out of public view
So enjoy seeing my many mess ups š¤£
ā¢
This was during my shoot yesterday with @cmpcreative__ for content she is making on behalf of @michellecassidy_ and @lucillecassidyretreats
Itās for a project theyāre working on
I canāt wait to see how they pull it together!

(This video is just a bit of fun btw!)
If you canāt laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at?

Sometimes you donāt realise how much you need to pauseā¦ until you actually do š¤
Spending the day at a Journey Retreat with Lucille Cassidy at Studio Be was exactly that, a full reset for a busy mind.
Movement. Stillness. Silence. Fire. The most nourishing food. And a room full of lovely women just taking a breath from real life.
If youāve been saying āI must book something for myselfā - this is your sign āØ

If your Instagram doesnāt have 2FAā¦ youāre one click away from losing it š
If youāre a business owner, creator or social media manager, this is one step you cannot skip.
In this reel Iām showing you simple ways to keep you profile safe:
