Delegates should attend this workshop if they are interested on how to write effective and engaging social media copy to really help content stand out from the rest. Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of the different approaches to copy writing and how copy can complement accompanying content. The workshop will also provide a grounding in how to write engaging content which will take social media campaigns to the next level, supported by case studies, example exercises, and feedback sessions.
