Paid Social Media Masterclass

Paid Social Media Advertising Fundamentals

If you are already using social media for your business you will be aware that social media marketing can be cost effective, highly targeted, and adaptable to any business objective.

But business pages are finding it harder to reach their customers and potential customers organically (not having to pay) and are now turning their attentions to biddable social marketing.

Social media advertising (or biddable social marketing) provides organisations the chance to reach, engage and convert new customers that would not normally see their organic posts, or reach existing customers with new services or products.

It can be used to support businesses’ organic activity, or to help drive fan acquisition or engagement. It can also be used to drive lead conversion and sales from new audiences (which can happen on the social platform or by driving the user back to the company website).

Who should attend?

Anyone who has a new or existing business with or without a social media presence, who wants to explore the opportunities of paid social marketing including business owners or employees who are part of a marketing team.
