Sophia is a journalist, author and content creator with over 140 million views on TikTok. She won Innovation of the Year at the British Journalism Awards for her pioneering use of TikTok as a news gathering and publishing tool, and has since been named one of the UK’s most influential women by British Vogue. She is now freelance, having formerly worked for VICE News and the BBC.

Vertical videos, and the algorithms amplifying them, have become the driving force behind much of today’s information and entertainment - and yet many are still terrified of taking advantage of this, and of platforming themselves on apps like TikTok and Instagram.

In her session, Sophia will explore how creating vertical videos can lead to host of new opportunities for yourself and the brands you work with, including building community, raising awareness about important social issues, and - maybe - even changing the course of your life forever.
