Create your own social media marketing campaign during our new practical one-day workshop: Creating Social Media Campaigns.

Combining theory and practice, this hands-on workshop enables participants to create social media marketing plans, and come away with social media assets such as blogs, video, audio, Facebook pages, Twitter accounts, Ning networks and more that are created during the session. Previous groups have created a wide range of social media – and aggregated and linked them together within the session.

See our course outline for more details.

We help you understand social media marketing. We run workshops, offer advice, conduct research, and create the media itself: websites, blogs, podcasts and video.

The social media revolution offers powerful new tools for you to reach your market. But where do you begin? Which tools are right for you? How do you use them effectively, and measure your results? And how will you find time for all those updates?

Our social media workshops will help you find out how to get the most out of social media marketing. Whether you’re just starting out and need an overview of tools, approaches and concepts, more experienced but need to plan a social media strategy, or have a specific area you want to learn more about, we’ll help you achieve your marketing goals.

There’s a workshop for that. Our half-day Introduction to Social Media Marketing for Publishers will give you an overview of concepts, approaches and tools, and help you develop your social media strategy. We can also help you produce websites, blogs, podcasts and video to use in your campaigns, conduct market research and help with your strategic marketing plans.

Visit our blog Publishing Talk for more discussion about using social media to promote books, and follow the Publishing Talk Twitter feed – one of the most followed Twitter accounts in the publishing world – for regular updates and insights.

If you have publishing jobs to advertise, you can even post these on our jobs section – free for a limited time.

Small businesses are well-placed to use social media – it’s cheap, it’s effective, and it’s authentic. Because social media is a personal medium where authenticity matters, it’s much easier for you to get your personality across than a large corporation.

We offer workshops for small businesses, and have a separate dedicated web design, branding and marketing agency for small businesses, startups, entrepreneurs, freelancers and consultants: Small Business Studio. We can get you up and running with a website, logo design, branding and business stationery – and provide social media services too.

Our next workshop for small businesses is on Tuesday 20th October 2009. Find out more and book online (early bird discount expires 8th September).
