An interview by pupils of Coedpenmaen Primary
I’m Miranda, I run a business
called Talking Social Media
which helps people in other
businesses to use social media
to do their marketing and to
make more sales. I train people
on how to use things like
Facebook and Twitter and
LinkedIn and, a lot of the time I
help people who are a lot older
than you, who might not really
know how to use smartphones
and Facebook and a lot of other
social media platforms. I help
teach people that are probably
more your grandparents age to
use modern technology like that.
What’s your favourite icecream flavour?
A great question! Raspberry
Ripple, definitely.
Why did you decide to be a
Director?
Being a Director basically means
that you’re the owner of a
company, so I suppose I set up
my own company because I
knew that no one else was
really doing what I could do.
There’s not many people who
do social media for a living
because it’s quite a new job, so
I decided to do it – anyone can
be a Director, it just depends
on what idea you have!
How old was the oldest
person you’ve ever taught to
use technology?
One of my first clients I think
she was in her 70s. She was
really good, she was brilliant at
Facebook because she was
naturally very communicative
and chatty – so it was really
just teaching her how to use all
the buttons!
What’s
the
biggest
promotion you’ve ever done?
I have a twitter account that I
run for a project of mine which
is a speaking event, people come
along and do talks. It reaches
around 1 million people every
month and it has about 10,000
followers on the account…so
that’s quite a big one, and it
means we can sell out every
event we run for it!
What did you want to be
when you were younger?
I’ve always flicked between lots
of different things, I like writing
so I thought about being a
journalist. When I left primary
school I told everyone I was
going to be Prime Minister…I
wanted to be a vet at one point
as well…so lots of different
things!
On a scale of 1 – 10 how
excited
are
you
about
Christmas?
