Headlining Mental Health x Edelman: Acing Social Masterclass

About the event 

Social media can help organisations reach people who need support and raise awareness about mental health amongst the public, policy-makers and funders. 

But we know that maintaining multiple social media accounts across Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, Twitter, and YouTube can be time-consuming and technical. 

We’ve teamed up with Edelman to offer mental health and wellbeing organisations a one-hour session to help you ace your social. This masterclass will help you work out which social media platforms are essential for your charity, and which to ditch. We’ll also cover how often to post, what to say, and how to make maintaining social media feel more manageable. 

The session will include: 

• Social media demographics – who you will reach on which platform and the recommended frequency of posting per platform 
• Pointers on content forms and messaging that perform well 
• Easy ways to post regularly, through evergreen content, multi-purpose communications, planning and scheduling
