Flexing positively while the world is in flux
Our world has been in flux since the pandemic began, and social media teams have been flexing all the while with it. But it’s not all doom and gloom as social media teams have found positive new ways of flexing their work. In this session, we’ll hear how teams are now planning for the short-term, long term (what does long-term even mean now?) and making space for things that pop up out of nowhere.
We’ll also hear how social media teams are keeping the creative brainstorming process going while working remotely, and we’ll do a bit of brainstorming together.

The best laid plans of mice and comms teams As a relatively small charity, social media is an important way for the British Tinnitus Association to reach their potential audience of 7 million UK adults living with tinnitus. Using free (or very low cost) tools, they are able to plan their social media output, enabling them to have greater impact and consistency with less effort and stress. With input coming from across the organisation, their simple planning strategy helps them maintain an engaging stream of content, resulting in double-digit year-on-year growth across all media streams.
