Description

Is social media an intrinsic part of your marketing strategy? Do you want  to optimise your use of key social media channels to enable you better achieve your business/marketing goals in 2016?

This 1-day workshop with Social Media Expert, Krishna De, will help you attain that objective.

Who this workshop is for

This programme is for entrepreneurs who have been using social media as part of their marketing and wish to optimise their use of key social media channels to support achieving their business goals in 2016.

This programme is not relevant for newcomers to social media (this will be covered in a programme later this year).

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
  • Growing your visibility on LinkedIn using LinkedIn Publisher – how to use this free feature as a platform to share news and guidance that can help you attract new clients and referrals
  • How to create compelling visual content including for your social media marketing – we will cover free and low cost tools to help you create animated gifs, images and video content with just your smart phone
  • Mobile live video to boost leads and sales – with the recent introduction of live streaming video including Periscope from Twitter and Facebook Live, we will explore tips for getting started with real time video as part of your marketing and sales plans
  • 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)
  • How to extend the reach of your social media campaigns through user generated content and influencer outreach
