About the

Course

Anyone can post. Not everyone can make people stop scrolling.

The difference between content that gets ignored and content that gets shared, saved, and talked about isn't luck, it's craft. And there's no better place to learn that craft than from one of Singapore's most influential digital media brands.

In this exclusive 3-day masterclass, the team behind Rice Media, some of Singapore's sharpest, most culturally resonant stories, partners with Hustle to bring their editorial playbook directly to you. You'll learn how Rice approaches storytelling, ideation, and content strategy, and walk away with the practical skills to create social media content that is engaging, authentic, and built to perform.

From writing hooks that demand attention to shooting and editing videos that land, this course covers the full content creation pipeline, end to end, hands-on, and grounded in real-world practice.

This isn't a lecture. It's a masterclass.

Some of the topics covered in this workshop include:

  • Copywriting and journalism techniques for social media storytelling
  • Ideation frameworks and how to consistently generate strong content ideas
  • Understanding social media analytics and what the data is actually telling you
  • Storyboarding and conceptualising content for different platforms and formats
  • Designing eye-catching thumbnails and visual assets with Canva
  • Videography techniques and camera movements for social media content
  • Video editing with CapCut, from raw footage to publishable post
