About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours

Have you been posting consistently on Instagram—trying to stay visible, build relationships, and drive business—only to be met with silence? You're not imagining it. It’s frustrating. It’s exhausting. And no, you're not doing it wrong.

The truth is, the platform has changed—but the good news? There’s a better way.

This month at Social Media Breakfast Houston, Lovely Marshall, former Meta product strategist and Forbes-recognized brand builder, will show you how to move from just “posting and hoping” to creating intentional, high-trust conversations that actually drive results.

She’s helped brands—both small and large—leverage DMs, QR codes, and casual content to build powerful relationships and convert real opportunities. Whether you're running your own business or leading marketing from the inside, this session is packed with practical tools you can use immediately.

Why you should attend this event:

  • Turn casual posts into DMs that spark real conversations
  • Instagram and Facebook QR code powermoves to drive offline-to-online connection
  • The power of automation to personalize messaging using Meta-approved tools

You’ll also hear how SMBHOU played a role in Lovely’s own journey—from audience member to featured speaker and trusted partner.

Register now for a dedicated event that builds trust, visibility, and real momentum on Instagram!
