Description:

Where does social media fit in today's marketing mix?
Is it right for every business?
Is it just another fad? 

Social media has enabled customers to change the rules of marketing forever, and businesses not knowing how to engage in a post-social media world risk losing customers they never knew they had.

This practical session takes you through how the developments have:
• Changed people's purchasing habits.
• Impacted on traditional marketing.
• Shown the importance of social media as a key marcomms tool.

We all know what social media is, and we know that it's something we should be involved with. However, are we as productive as we could be? Do you feel that your campaigns are working for you in the way you want? Do you have questions about the practical side of using these tools or setting up your business on the various applications? Do you want to know how you can make sure you are reaching your target audience - and making an impact?

Following the session speaker, there is a quality hands on Q&A, with Dr Digital experts, to diagnose and support your use of social media. Areas covered are Twitter (generate conversations that build rapport and drive traffic), Facebook and LinkedIn (their importance for business).

WiFi is available at the venue. We recommend you bring your laptop (not tablet) to access your social media accounts as you can work directly with one of our experts to resolve your queries.

The Dr Digital experts for this session are Adam Naisbitt of Cooper Banks MacKenzie, Shelley Rostlund of Social Intelligence and Lilach Bullock of Sociable.
