The Socialize Forecast - 2/11/25 Winter Party Time
This week’s episode started off with an explanation of the latest viral trend: Doug’s Winter Party – A Viral Feel-Good Trend
- A man in Bucks County, PA, hand-delivered paper invitations to his neighbors for a winter party.
- A neighbor caught the invite on her Ring camera, shared it on TikTok, and it went viral.
- Now, people across the world claim they’re "going to Doug’s party"—some even planning cross-country trips.
- The heartwarming part? People are hosting their own "Doug’s Winter Party" celebrations inspired by him.
🎥 Creative PR Package Video & Exclusive Studio Tutorial
- Received a PR package from CeraVe and created a unique "X-ray effect" video
- Instead of a traditional unboxing, used a special effect to “see inside the box.”
- This effect will be exclusively taught inside The Studio this week!
- Studio members will also learn how to apply the effect to other creative ideas (e.g., x-ray closets, phone transitions)
