Blogs, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn. Find out about the new online social Internet and how it can impact your marketing, customer relations and public relations efforts. This half-day workshop is designed for people who are curious about how social media is changing the ways that organisations are communicating and those who want to learn how to tap the power of the social Internet. Learn:

* how the social Internet is changing how humans and organisations communicate and interact
* about the various social networks, tools and platforms
* about blogging and the democratisation of information
* policies and best practices in social media
* strategies and tips to get your organisation involved

We’ll take a look at local, UK and international case studies to see what’s worked best (and what hasn’t!). Understand:

* where social media fits into your organisation
* what social networks can (and can’t) achieve
* the risks and benefits of the social Internet
* the art of online conversation

Leave with a good grounding in how the social Internet works, the tools of the trade, and some ideas on how to get started.

The workshop will be held in central Douglas and will include coffee, tea and nibbles.

Costs: £75 per person (plus VAT)
