The digital world continues to change at a quick pace, making it difficult to keep on top of the best ways to use each platform.
Recent changes to Google Grants and to Facebook’s Newsfeed algorithm has brought to light the need to keep on top of these changes – as well as the inevitable changes that will happen across other platforms. But that’s made even more difficult when the platforms make regular changes to their algorithm and policies, meaning competing on digital is becoming harder for many smaller charities.
At this event we took a look at what changes have taken place recently, what changes may well be coming up and how best to prepare for changes that might crop up in the future
