Workshop logistics

The workshop is open to a maximum number of 20 delegates to ensure that you have time to ask questions of the tutor to help you with your specific social media marketing challenges.

Prior to attending the workshop, you will be asked to provide us with some information about your objectives for using social media so that the agenda can be customised to the attendees of the programme.

You are invited to bring your laptop, tablet or mobile device to the event should you wish to refer to your own social media platforms during the workshop.

Agenda

  • Boosting your social media marketing by publishing engaging content on Twitter – we will be unlocking the power of hashtags, exploring how to use Twitter cards, bringing your stories to life with multimedia and reaching your target audience through Twitter advertising
  • Understanding what is working for successful Facebook marketing today – we will be exploring recent updates to Facebook so you can refine your marketing plan, best practice guidelines for hosting competitions to boost engagement, and how to reach your target audience with organic and paid posts

  • Expanding your social media marketing onto visual platforms – this session will cover an overview of Pinterest, Instagram, Snapchat and SlideShare so that you understand how these platforms can support your social media marketing (given the time available, this session will cover top tips for using these platforms rather than an in-depth tutorial)
