Though we’re not all certified Instagram influencers, the Content Team here at LEWIS features a handful of these creators, and we all strategize, pitch, and draft many forms of content day in and day out. Hoping to share our experiences behind the keyboard with you, we plan to create an ongoing stream of content-related pieces, otherwise known as the “Content Corner” of LEWIS’ blog. But before you read our best attempts at wordsmithing, we first wanted to give you a peek behind the curtain. Meet your LEWIS content crew.
