This four hour session starts over breakfast and introduces social media and the main strategies for communicating your marketing message to your audience. Comprehensive notes will be provided to ensure that you can take home these strategies and work them into your business marketing plan.
What we will cover: Imagine being able to market to 1,000s of people without leaving your office, where the cost of an advert is cents instead of tens of thousands of Rands, and where you control the tone and content without having to wait for advertising agencies.
