Social Media Workshop

Social Media WorkshopThe aim of the social media workshop is to give a clear insight into the areas that make up the world of social media marketing and how they fit together and deliver against the goals that companies set for them in today’s ever more competitive marketplace.

We will look at to how the social media opportunities marketing tools integrate with other marketing techniques and will take particular emphasis on Search Engine Marketing (with the main focus on Search Engine Optimisation and Pay Per Click) and Social Media Marketing including blogging and the business use of social networking.
