There are over 500 social media channels (at the last count) and several of these are high profile. But what’s right for your business? This session (linked to the ABC of social media) will look at which channels you should consider for your business.
Our Channel Chooser will help you assess what are the right social media channels for your business.
This FREE workshop is very much connected to the ABC of social media. Whereas ABC looks at the social media channels from their perspective, this session switches it around and frames the channels based on what business might need – and what’s achievable. We will review delegates own businesses and any existing social media activity they undertake. Collectively we’ll map this out, thinking about what could work for whom.
