🤳 Podcast Guest Announcement: Meet the Person Who Ran Degrassi’s Social Media
As Degrassi fans, you've liked posts, left comments, shared memes, and followed the show's official social media. But have you ever wondered who was actually behind those accounts?
This month, we're joined by Daniela Leo, Degrassi's former Social Media Manager.
Daniela managed Degrassi's official presence across Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook, creating content, engaging with fans, and helping shape the show's online voice, including publicity surrounding the Whatever It Takes Degrassi documentary.
If you've ever wondered what it's like to run the social media for one of Canada's most iconic television series, this is your chance to go behind the scenes. Leave your questions for Daniela in the comments below!
🗓️ Question Deadline: Tuesday, July 28th @ 11:59 PM ET.

This is so exciting! Mine is basically one run on question with different parts. Daniela, what was your initial thoughts about being handed the Degrassi accounts when you weren’t as familiar with the show. - How did it meet your expectations in terms of what to expect/unexpected, the community, and interacting with others socially? -What is a stand out memory you have of something in the Degrassi fandom that you experienced during your time?
These are so cute, thank you Taylor!
I have a couple! 😇 As someone with a communications degree, do you have a similar degree or something totally unrelated to social media/marketing? How was it digging through the archives of content from Degrassi? Or is it not what we expect? Is it a rule that your identity has to be hidden or did people know you were the one running it when you were?
Thank you, Kaycee!!
I have a few questions. Question 1: Were you a fan of Degrassi before you managed their social media accounts? And if you weren't, did you binge-watch any part of the show to get a feel for what it was about? Question 2: Were you ever asked to remove something that you posted on the Degrassi socials by either a cast member or someone else? Question 3: How long were you part of the Degrassi team? During that time, did you strictly post content remotely (memes, scenes from the show, etc.), or were you ever actually on location at the Degrassi set to film original social media content (interviews, behind-the-scenes footage, etc.) with the cast? Question 4: When posting on the Degrassi socials, did you stay strictly within the "Degrassi Bubble" and only use content created directly from official archives, or did you ever feature fan-made content that you came across and loved?
GREAT questions, thank you tiffany!
How do you get this job and how do you decide what to post when there is so much Degrassi content over the 40 years of tv?
Great question!!
Hi! Did you ever receive any cast reaction, comments to something you posted on Degrassi Social Media?!🔎🥰
OU I LOVE THIS QUESTION!! Now I'm so curious. And also, does she think she knows the cast well enough to identify who they are in her comments 😂🫶
This is an awesome guest! 🙂🇨🇦
Thank you, Christopher! Eager to hear your thoughts when you listen!
So cool
She's the best, I'm so excited to chat with her!
I'm so excited for this one! I first met Daniela at TIFF, when she introduced herself as the person behind Degrassi's social media, I lost my mind! I'm so curious to know what it was like to run the socials + how familiar she was with the show before/after she got the job. Eager to see your questions for our new friend, Daniela!
