In today’s digital environment audiences expect brands to engage through rich, valuable content. Our audiences are adept at judging what content will be useful to them, and their willingness to search it out is decreasing. The pressure to produce and share appealing, accurate, timely and relevant content is higher than ever.
Inspiring case studies and examples from organisations including the Woodland Trust, RNLI, National Deaf Children’s Society and Age UK, and practical workshop sessions on the platforms and media that matter, were presented at this event to help your charity plan, create and distribute stand-out content that makes the absolute most of your resources.
