Artisans Buddies Challenge - in English

The ’artisans’buddies’challenge is our September campaign on Instagram, with which we want to network and support each other.
It is an offer for all creative professionals who want to occupy themselves for a month with the most diverse possibilities of visibility on social media.
We will give you an editorial plan. Together we explore the many functions that Instagram offers. We show you why “social” means together for us.

One month - a workpiece - an appreciative community

IT IS MOVING

Movement - whether real or through the illusion of the design elements, this is the theme that was chosen this year by a vote on Instagram.

• Download the workbook - without registration.

• You make a workpiece / object, etc. matching the theme "It's moving" with your art / craft skills.

• We divided September into 4 thematic areas. Every week we have compiled a list of content advocates.
  Find out what you want to do and post as many posts per week as you like.

• Decide how you implement the suggestion: whether as a photo, image, video in the feed, as a reel, in a story or whether you go live alone or with more accounts.

• You use #artisans_buddies_challenge23 in every post and tag this year's hosts @cynthia_kurth und @goldschmiede.kunststueck

• In the post, you call the weekly topic and the content description, so that we can all see what the post is about and classify it better.

• You can look for other posts and comment if you like something especially and can share the posts in your story under the artisans-buddies-challenge23.

The challenge was created in 2020. At that time we called her Jewellery Buddies Challenge.

Being creative and productive every day is a challenge for us sole traders. It is often overwhelming to show yourself with his work. In order to support and inspire themselves in this task, a handful of jewelry designers founded an Instagram challenge. We have met almost all of them at the Jewellers Academy.
