We deliver some of the UK’s longest running continuing professional development (CPD) training courses on social media marketing.
When we started out in 2006, social media was a new term.
We used to go to client pitches and have to spell out what it meant.
A pitch for a marketing director invariably turned into a social media training workshop. Ask our friends at Publicis QMP. Fast forward to 2010: how things have changed.
As well as implementing social media campaigns for some great clients, we’ve taken all that experience and condensed it into social media marketing training courses that we now regularly deliver at our offices in Manchester.
All our training courses are recognised by the Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR). Find out more.
Let us show you how to engage with new customers, increase website traffic and reduce marketing costs by generating qualified leads using social media marketing. The net effect for your business: increased sales.
Real Fresh TV’s hands-on social media training courses are carefully structured and designed to be completed within a 3 hour morning session to give course attendees the opportunity to attend to their core business in the afternoon. Lunch and refreshments are provided. Fees: Early Bird £120+VAT, Standard: £150+VAT.

Actionable insights that help Real Fresh TV generate business
Our courses are not a basic overview of social media platforms with a view of leaving you to work out how to use them to grow your business or organisation.
We share the same actionable insights that have helped Real Fresh TV generate real business using social media since we launched in 2006.
Real Fresh TV currently offers 3 levels of social media training. From complete social media beginner to advanced practitioner, we have a training course for you!
Level 1 Courses – beginner
Our level 1 courses suit business owners and managers who are new to social media and are unsure how to start (and how to continue). The Social Media Starter Course and its media industry-equivalent the Introduction to Social Media for Media Professionals is designed to demystify social media marketing for those unsure and uncomfortable about it!
After attending either course, you’ll feel confident enough to develop an actionable social media strategy for your business or organisation.
More importantly, you’ll know how this translates to real results for your business or organisation, be that a growth in sales or increased brand awareness.
