TRAINING OPPORTUNITY TO JOIN OUR UK AND SCOTLAND SOCIAL MEDIA TEAMS

Being able to communicate information effectively and efficiently is key to much of the work #MEAction does. We are looking for new volunteers to join us. If you’d like to help us reach and engage our target audiences, we’d welcome you in our social media teams. Don’t worry if you have no previous experience – right now we have 6 places available on a digital marketing training course. Scroll down to sign up!

Over a 5 week period, #MEAction UK and #MEAction Scotland’s social media team will be running a course working through Media Trust’s Digital Marketing Strategy webinar series. Media Trust is a communications charity working in partnership with the media and creative industries, encouraging them to share their time and expertise with small charities, under-represented communities and young people. 

The series consists of three modules designed to help us build a Digital Marketing Strategy to effectively promote our work online, reach and engage audiences and improve the effectiveness of our campaigning work, which is at the heart of everything we do.

The webinars cover key areas for developing a digital marketing strategy including; Digital Marketing Strategy: The Basics, Content and Tactics and Digital Marketing Channels.

We will be running a total of 5 weekly sessions every Wednesday at 11am starting on the 16th September. Some of that time will be used to jointly watch the webinar series, discussing it via chat box as we go along, and then we’ll take further time to apply the models and content to #MEAction as a real world case study. You will then be able to immediately use what you have learnt as part of the #MEAction UK and/or #MEAction Scotland social media team. 

Read more about the webinars, including a short description of each module here.

When: Wednesdays at 11am

Start date: Wednesday 16th September

For how long: 5 sessions over 5 weeks, 1 hour each
