SOCIAL MEDIA TRAINING for local government

Organise an in-house private course

This is the way most organisations choose to work with us. You get to choose the workshop, nominate who you want to sit the session, fix a time and date that suits everyone and decide whether you want online or in-person delivery. We do the rest – even down to tweaking the training to match your specific needs. All we need is a bit of information about you so click the organise button to get the ball rolling.

Learn how Facebook, Twitter and other networks can help –  and hinder – your work.

How can you use Facebook to help achieve your organisational, political and even personal aims and objectives? Should you Tweet as a council or councillor or is the risk of ridicule too great? Does blogging actually work and, if so, how should you go about it? Should you start a YouTube channel? And isn't LinkedIn just a place for job seekers? If you've been grappling with these sorts of questions then this workshop is for you. You’ll learn how to:

• Set up (if you haven’t already), optimise and use social media accounts in line with best practice for elected members and/or officers.
• Establish your target audiences including those you need to listen to as well as those you need to talk to.
• Understand the three main sources of content – created, curated and shared.
• Create multi-media posts that get noticed and work.
• Assess the impact of your work through proper monitoring.
• Understand and avoid the pitfalls.

PLEASE NOTE

This workshop will focus on using social media. We offer separate sessions on broadcast and print media interview techniques.
