Hello! I’m looking for general advice and tips around content creation on iPhone please. I want to create marketing content/videos for brands and consumers — anything from travel to hospitality, to weddings and events. I’ve also seen people do this and fall into UGC too, which I could be interested in at some point.

So far, all of the equipment I have is an iPhone 18 Pro and a DJI Gimbal 6. Is there anything else I’d need?

I’m also considering next steps to start up a portfolio — how? I was thinking to post on local Facebook pages to take content for free for small businesses, or advertise wedding content creation. Is it normal to turn up with an iPhone?

I’m thinking I’ll also need to create a website/set up an instagram.

Is there anything else I should be thinking about? Thank you so much for your help

I work in CRM marketing. The marketing executive was taken off of managing the brand on email and it was given to me (Marketing Assistant). She was sick for a few weeks, and when I managed email we had better performance and more compliments from the director. She then quit her job. I was told I’m being promoted to Marketing Executive because she has quit. However, there is no pay rise until April 2027 (I’m on £27,000 in UK). Is it normal for more responsibility without a pay rise? What is best for me to do in this situation? Can I say no to more responsibilities?

More context:

I’m coming up to 6 months in this role.

I have created record breaking email campaigns, ie best ever revenue week on email followed by 2nd, 3rd, 4th. And best ever revenue driven email.

They are also hiring an apprentice, which hasn’t been posted and the girl leaves next week! I will have to train them
