Whether you are fan or not of social media, we can all agree that it is an exceptionally powerful marketing tool for emerging creatives and artists.

This workshop is designed to motivate you to drive your own social media.

We'll explore:

• A snapshot of the latest insights and trends in social media
• Platform-specific ideas and examples
• Understanding your audiences
• Creating an effective content mix
