If you work in social media marketing or are responsible for social media communication, you’re likely always “on” and always on the go. From creating killer content, engaging with your audience, attending events, answering DMs to staying on top of the latest trends and dealing with trolls, there is very little downtime. Not to mention, you are also responsible for accomplishing and measuring your social success. I’ve been in your shoes and social media can be overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be!

In this hands-on workshop, you will take the strategies and tactics learned and immediately turn them into action. You will leave with a great start on a plan you can adapt for any brand, business, non-profit or organization.

Who is this training for? This training is for anyone who has direct responsibility for managing social media networks while creating content and measuring success. From intern to exec, this training will create focus in your social strategy and help you work smarter, not harder.
