EVENT on Thu 14 Dec 2023 : Social Media Strategy Masterclass with Social Media 'Guru' Dr Lou Mycroft

Posted by Andy

Is this session for you?

• Can you log into social media platforms used by your organisation?
• Do you know the basics of operating each platform that is relevant for your organisation?

And most of all…

• Are you at the point where you need to gather all the work you do on social media and create a social media strategy?

If you have answered ‘yes’ to all questions this session is for you.

Please note: This intermediate course does not cover basic or general functionality.

This interactive intermediate level session supports you to develop a social media strategy for your organisation/project, considering your capabilities and capacity.

The session also aims to develop your understanding of how social media tools can support the work you do, including widening your reach using pay-for-advertising (more affordable than you may think) and understanding the basics of how scheduling and analytical tools can help you work more effectively.

We are delighted to have guest tutor Dr. Lou Mycroft, a social media ninja and digital pioneer, facilitating this session and sharing her top tips and experience in this field.

So how does it work?

• The session will use Zoom to create a virtual classroom, where presentations and group interactive discussions will take place, just like they do in a traditional classroom
• You will use time to work independently to begin developing a social media strategy for your own organisation, that reflects your organisation’s capabilities and capacity
• There will also be a coaching session of 20 minutes each to ask your social media and strategy questions
• If there are multiple members of an organisation in attendance, they will share the coaching session; this is to encourage shared organisational learning
• Access to a padlet of resources
• Time scheduled for lunch and breaks.

Lou uses FAB Digital principles to support the development of digital meta-skills, enabling digital resilience and a growth in digital confidence.

Session requirements:

• This session is suitable for those that already understand which social media channels are relevant for their organisation and how they work
•  You will need to come prepared with log in codes and passwords for the platforms set up for your organisation.

This session will help you:

• Develop digital confidence and resilience
• Explore the basics of scheduling, pay-for advertising and analytics
• Deepen your practice around self-identified organisational needs
• Identify opportunities for training others
• Begin to develop a social media strategy for the organisation, considering your capabilities and capacity.
