Social Media Workshop
With so many ways to communicate on social media and marketing platforms these days it’s no wonder that a lot of us are mystified as to where to begin.
Facebook is familiar to most of us as a cost effective way to keep in touch with friends and family members near and far, with photos, videos and stories. However, when we need to take the next step, to use social media in a business or community group environment, to ensure connection and engagement with a broader audience, this requires a new set of skills. These tools are contained in Facebook and other social media but only social media savvy businesses and community groups use them to reap the rewards of not only reaching but engaging their target audiences.
So how do you get those skills?
The Community Foundation understands the importance of effective communication and engagement, and that building capacity in social media will help strengthen community groups in our district. We are therefore delighted to announce that we will be offering 10 places at a free Social Media Workshop on Monday 21st August with Mac & Ernie.
Erika McInerney the founder of Mac & Ernie, has over 20 years of marketing and advertising experience, and a proven track record of putting social media to work for businesses. Erika is well placed to help our community groups navigate the sometimes-confusing world of digital and social marketing.
This Social Media Workshop will provide practical, accessible and customised advice that your community group will be able to act on immediately, helping you to reach and engage old and new target audiences.
