Social media is an ever-evolving platform that has become increasingly integral to every charity’s content strategy. But how can you be sure you’re using your channels to their full potential?
At this event we explored how to make the most of your organisation’s social media. From ensuring you’re keeping tabs on the metrics that matter, to maintaining a consistent tone of voice across different platforms, we assessed how to create and sustain a well-rounded and successful social media presence.
