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…)

The Learning Social Media By Doing Course has been put together in response to requests by attendees of the popular Social Media Starter Course for a more practical, hands-on training event.

Designed as a follow up to the entry level Social Media Starter Course, the Learning Social Media By Doing Course is a practical half day workshop that gives anyone new to social media a safe environment to try on the tools for size.

Do you need to Twitter for work?  Have you just been nominated company blogger but don’t know your WordPress from your Movable Type?  Do you feel overwhelmed by all this talk of trackbacks, pingbacks and Google PageRank?

Then the Learning Social Media By Doing Course is for you.

Introduction
In these times of economic uncertainty, how do you stand out in a crowded marketplace?

Your competition is increasingly your customers themselves, empowered by social media platforms like blogs, micro-blogging tools like Twitter and profiles on social networking and video sharing sites.

They are staying connected with each other for longer online, and increasingly via the mobile web using smartphones like the iPhone, creating and consuming information about products and services in a virtuous circle of digital word of mouth.

It is time to admit the inevitable.

One of the best things about having a background in creating original video for the web is the versatility of perspectives it provides.

I’m thrilled to have been asked to speak at a panel discussing alternative methods for film distribution at the Bite The Mango Film Festival, taking place at the National Media Museum in Bradford.

I’m putting together our first Social Media Starter course.

The idea is to provide a practical forum for people to learn how to get started in social media.

It’s a two hour interactive seminar/workshop, packed full of insights into creating and executing social media and content marketing campaigns that work on the web.

Keeping with the classroom theme, I’m deliberately keeping it small with attendance limited to only 20 places.
