Core level seminar – Social media marketing for agencies

Introduction

Social media has the potential to transform your agency marketing, networking and recruitment, but are you and your team making the most of the opportunity?  In reality, most agencies are struggling to use social media effectively – follower numbers are insignificant, engagement levels are low, results are inconsistent and difficult to measure and clients (who expect you to be good at this type of stuff) are unimpressed.

This interactive workshop will help you fix these problems and better engage clients and prospects, showcase your capabilities, connect with industry thought-leaders, mobilise employees and build the profile of the senior leadership team.  Your agency will achieve better results and save time and money.

• Put together a content plan that will showcase your thought leadership and points of difference;
