Reading: Workshop planned on 'smarter social media'

Elevate, the Reading-based events series to help build small, confident brands, is running its second workshop for small business owners, creative entrepreneurs and founders.

Smarter social media for your business will run on January 25 at the Thames Lido from 9am to 1pm. With social media set to gain unprecedented levels of influence, the workshop has been designed to help SME marketers create a social media strategy that actually works for their business.

The day features sessions on:

Building your Facebook community with Ade Evans, the Thames Lido’s social media manager who generated sales of £400,000-plus through his recent advent calendar campaign.

Elevate was founded in the summer of 2018 by PR strategist Antonia Taylor and Helen Perry, creator of @notaboutthekids. It aims to create practical, actionable yet inspirational events for Reading’s growing community of creative entrepreneurs, freelancers, social media marketers and start-ups. Its first event sold-out in November.

Antonia Taylor commented: “For small businesses and start-ups, it’s easy to get stuck on social media. Planning and implementing a great strategy takes time and resource. You’ll come away from this morning workshop with a deeper understanding of social media, and the skills and inspiration to connect with your audience brilliantly in 2019.”
