Marketing On Zero Budget – Workshop
Social media is more than just Twitter or Facebook. It’s creating new behaviours and
new business models and many of us are already feeling its impact in our professional and private lives.
Led by social media expert, Gavin Heaton, this workshop will step you through the
process of creating a continuous digital strategy. You will discover how to test,
measure and refine your objectives and find out what it means to ‘lose control of your brand’.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll know what it means to be on ‘the social way’
and what that means for your start-up or social enterprise.
