Social Media Cafe Manchester, February 2010, in progress

Here come my notes from Tuesday’s Social Media Cafe Manchester event at the BBC’s offices on Oxford Road.

I’ve been a big fan of Social Media Cafe Manchester since being invited to be on the ‘panel of bloggers’ at the very first event in November 2008.  Whenever I can I try to blog about each ‘#smc_mcr’ I attend, after the event.

New Training Course: Introduction to Social Media for Media Professionals

I’m pretty excited about this!  Starting next month, on Wednesday 10th February to be precise, I will be running a new social media training course aimed squarely at the media industry in the North West.

The new Introduction to Social Media for Media Professionals course, designed specifically for digital media professionals considering use of social media within media projects, builds on Real Fresh TV’s success with the UK’s longest running ’social media for beginners’ course: the Social Media Starter Course.

Along with an assessment of workable strategies for developing multi-platform content, the course concludes with an introduction to the rigours and demands of creating content for multiple platforms.

Read on for details of the course and how to register. (more…)

Hello Real Fresh TV blog, it’s good to see you!

It’s been a little while since the last Social Media Starter Course but I’m pleased to announce there’s one scheduled for Tuesday 27th October 2009.

Real Fresh TV’s innovative Social Media Starter Course was developed over a year ago and launched in October 2008 as the first dedicated Social Media for Beginners training course in the UK.

It has proven incredibly popular, with academics, marketers, PR companies, photographers and even non-profits attending over the course of the year.

Attendees even requested a more hands-on follow up course, the Learning Social Media By Doing Course which has since been developed.

Here’s some of the fantastic feedback the Social Media Starter Course has received:
