Digital Skills Masterclass: London

10 Oct

Google Academy London, SW1W 9SH

Thursday 10 October 2019 09:30 - 16:30

Following the success of Media Trust's Digital Skills Programme, which has now trained over 1,000 charities in 14 locations across the UK, join us for our fourth London masterclass which brings together experts from Google, Twitter and many more to help charities improve the way they communicate online.

On 10 October, come along to our latest Digital Skills Masterclass which will look at the key aspect of delivering an effective digital communications strategy with a focus on digital advertising and using Twitter to engage your audiences.

Hear directly from the experts from Google Digital Garage who’ll take you through a practical approach to using digital advertising on social, search and display, and equip you with the tools to manage your charity’s presence on Google. We’ll also be joined by the team at Twitter for insider tips on how charities can use organic search to maximise their impact, as well as providing valuable insights into writing compelling copy for tweets and best practice on the platform.

Additionally, through the mentoring surgery sessions, you’ll have the opportunity to discuss your specific digital communications challenges with, and receive advice from, digital experts from across the media and creative industry.

This was so engaging, informative and inspiring. I feel reinvigorated to go back to my organisation and update how we approach the digital world.
