New social media account showcases best of Derby

CS Visual Storytelling has created a new social media account to help showcase the best of Derby.

Originally conceived as an idea to complement Down to Earth Derby’s Re:Imagine Festival, which will take place on Saturday, Discover Derby invites people to explore, engage and share their own favourite corners of the city.

The social media account has been launched on Instagram and Facebook – with people invited to tag @‌discoverderby in their posts.

It has been created by Cristina Simion, founder and creative director at CS Visual Storytelling, who moved to Derby in 2014 to study journalism at the University of Derby.

She worked in marketing for over seven years, including almost three years at Marketing Derby, before setting up her own business through which she helps businesses standout via visual storytelling, social media management, and workshops.

She said: “There aren’t many platforms promoting Derby like other cities have.

“I saw an opportunity to show people just how special this place really is.”
