Influencer marketing can provide organisations with online results far greater than what can be achieved through their organic efforts. This session will look at a case study from an arts organisation using influencer marketing, and practical tips on implementation.
Writing for social media is an art unto itself - visual content, particularly video, holds far more weight than the written word now does, but how can you use copy to enhance the content you share and engage audiences in your campaigns? This session explored the art of copywriting for social media, organisational tone of voice and how you can apply it effectively to a variety of platforms.
HdK recently carried out a number of surveys on the topics our webinar attendees would be interested in learning more about, and accessibility on social media was highly requested in each of them. It's great to know our audience - all professionals working in arts, cultural and heritage organisations - are prioritising accessibility in their work, and this session aimed to provide practical advice on making your social media presence more accessible.
With our TikTok webinars being our best attended sessions to date and many arts and cultural organisations now experimenting with the platform, this session provided an opportunity to check in and tweak your TikTok strategy for 2023.
