In this interactive, virtual workshop on Thursday,&nbsp;September 8 at&nbsp;1 p.m&nbsp;- 3 p.m.&nbsp;ET, Instagram growth expert Molly Balint will walk you through the best practices for creating successful Reels that authentically represent your brand, help attract your audience, and best of all &mdash; are simple to create.&nbsp;
