Fashion, beauty, food, and lifestyle magazine Canvas is set to host a special workshop titled ‘Canvas Masterclass with Mumtahina Toya: From Scroll to Stardom’.
Popular model and actress Mumtahina Toya will lead the session, offering hands-on lessons for aspiring digital creators looking to enhance their social media presence and content creation skills.
The three-hour workshop will take place at Persona Academy in Mirpur 11, Dhaka, on October 18 at 3 pm. Participants will learn the essentials of digital storytelling, from understanding the TikTok landscape to mastering video creation and audience engagement.
The session aims to help attendees gain deeper insights into how TikTok trends evolve both in Bangladesh and globally, what makes the platform unique, and how audiences interact with content differently compared to other social media spaces.
Toya will discuss how to discover and refine one’s personal niche and brand identity while maintaining authenticity and consistency. She will also share how creators can align their passion with current trends to build a relatable persona.
The content creation segment will focus on brainstorming viral ideas, crafting compelling hooks within the first few seconds, and developing a clear narrative even within short-form content.
Participants will also receive practical guidance on filming and editing with mobile tools, including tips on lighting, framing, and aesthetics, as well as editing using apps such as CapCut, InShot, and TikTok’s native editor. Toya will share her favorite techniques for creating smooth transitions, syncing music, and maximizing visual appeal.
Another key focus of the masterclass will be understanding the TikTok algorithm, learning how the For You Page works, and planning an effective posting schedule tailored to Bangladeshi audiences. Toya will unpack the myths and truths about hashtag strategies, using trending audios intelligently, and optimizing engagement.
The workshop will also explore how to connect meaningfully with audiences by fostering community over mere follower counts, managing comments and criticism with confidence, and making the most of TikTok’s live features. In addition, Toya will shed light on monetization opportunities, from brand collaborations and affiliate partnerships to creating professional media kits and negotiating fair rates, drawing from her own experiences as a successful digital personality.
The session will conclude with an open Q&A segment, allowing participants to directly interact with Toya. Tickets are priced at Tk 1,000, and registration can be completed at canvasmagazine.com.bd/registration
