CONTENT CREATOR SPOTLIGHT: THE SOCIAL CONFIDANT

When it comes to social media, The Social Confidant’s Amanda Bravender is an expert. Amanda started out managing her own social media accounts for her business as a professional hair and makeup artist and as the world moved towards social media marketing, she kept up with the trends and built a loyal following showcasing her work and sharing her personal life. “I do well on my own Instagram and that’s how most of my hair and makeup clients find me,” she shares.

Her skill at creating engaging content didn’t go unnoticed and Amanda soon found her brides asking her to help them film reels and TikToks while she was on-site for their weddings. “I love helping create this fun content and realized that this was a service that couples might be interested in booking for their weddings,” she says.

This idea stuck with her as she found herself helping plan her sister’s wedding. “I knew she would want instant content from her wedding to post at the end of the night versus waiting weeks for photos and months for video from the pros she’s hired.”

The Social Confidant was born to fill this need for instant gratification. “I wanted to create something affordable that brides would be able to add to their wedding day coverage,” she says, noting that her services aren’t intended to be a replacement for a professional photographer or videographer.

Amanda coordinates with the pro photographers and videographers to make sure everyone’s on the same page and captures behind the scenes footage and photos of the day as it unfolds. At the end of the wedding, the couple receives all the content she captured and can post to their hearts’ content. Amanda can even go live during a wedding so that out of town guests who aren’t able to attend in person can still feel like part of the wedding!
