Overview

A one-day course designed for professionals in the hospitality and tourism industry, to help define what social media means for your business, brand and future.

Every day, significant technological changes impact the way media is produced, published and consumed. In our industry, social marketing is playing a leading role in connecting brands with customers and yet many organisations do not fully understand how to develop a strong social media strategy and how to harness the returns.

This course provides you with practical tips and guidance on how to maximise the use of social, and data analysis to grow the right customer base. You will learn what it takes to run effective social media campaigns, hook new audiences and generate more bookings.

Thank you so much for having us. We had a great time and learned so much!
