Networking and Marketing Made Simple

Austin-born-and-bred, Shelby Ring traded landlocked life for boat life as a yacht chef in the BVIs. It turns out she was more into filming fish than cooking them. She swapped a chef knife for a camera and started raking in cash for those "highlight videos" the fancy yachts couldn't get enough of. Fast forward to 2013, she swapped sailboat life for set life and opened her video production company. If you're sick and tired of hiring the one-off photo video production company, the next best social media manager, or frivolously throwing money at marketing just chasing more "likes", it's time for us to have a conversation. Ruby Riot Creatives' superpower is building strategic content campaigns that generate more qualified leads to make your small or mid-sized business more money. Get a full-fledged media department for a fraction of the cost of an in-house marketing director. When Shelby’s not directing or building set designs, you might find her blues fusion dancing, or recording her podcast, The Ruby Hour, interviewing the rebels and rulebreakers of today’s era.

Have you been thinking about going live on LinkedIn but need a little push? Here’s why a monthly LinkedIn Live event could be the game-changer your business needs! 🏆 🌟 1. Gather Your Target Audience in One Place: Imagine bringing your ideal clients, industry peers, and potential collaborators into one virtual room! A monthly LinkedIn Live event is an incredible opportunity to create an engaged community. Instead of reaching out one by one, let your audience come to you. When they tune in, they’re showing you they’re interested in what you have to say – and that’s powerful. 🌟 2. Highlight Your Expertise: Going live lets you showcase your skills and knowledge in real time, making you more relatable and trustworthy. There’s something authentic about sharing insights, stories, and solutions on a live platform that people don’t get from a static post. Each monthly event lets you share your expertise, answer live questions, and truly position yourself as an authority in your field. 🌟 3. Build Your Email List: Here’s where strategy kicks in: Use each event to move your audience from online to offline by offering a specific call to action. This could be a downloadable resource, a free mini-course, or an exclusive invite to a more in-depth session – whatever adds value and builds your list. Growing your email list through LinkedIn Live is a great way to maintain contact and continue the conversation long after the event ends.
