The Changing Face of Social Media with BBH

01 Feb

BBH Global, W1B 5DS

Thursday 1 February 2018 09:00 - 12:00

76% of all internet users are using some form of social media, according to a Pew Research study.

We have reached peak attention on social media. More and more publishers and organisations are vying for less and less attention. The average UK Facebooker now scrolls through an Eiffel Tower’s worth of newsfeed a day so what does it take to get peoples’ attention in today’s cluttered online world? The recent changes to Facebook’s newsfeed means there will be a move away from vanity metrics and the focus should now be on creating more ‘meaningful’ content. Rather than being safe and cute on social, charities need to create a reaction.

The way we think about social media is changing. So, stop obsessing over the number of likes and followers you have and start prioritising eye-catching content and having meaningful interactions with your audiences. The cardinal sin on social is dullness and if anyone has interesting content to communicate online, it’s charities and nonprofits. So, who’s going to take advantage of the changing face of social media in 2018, and who is going to be lost halfway up the Eiffel Tower of content?

Join us and hear from Ben Shaw, Head of BBH’s award winning social content unit ‘Live’, Data Strategist Jack Colchester and colleagues who will explore their Ten Commandments on how to make your social media have an impact that resonates.

BBH delivers world-class strategy and creative across multiple channels for 35 of the most successful brands and businesses including Audi, Tesco, Google, Barclays, Virgin Media, Absolut, Samsung and Unilever. They also work with a number of charitable organisations including the UN’s Global Goals programme, the St John Ambulance, Refuge, Missing People and the Terrence Higgins Trust amongst others.

This Masterclass will help you to:

  • Better identify and target your audience
  • Plan your media to maximise reach
  • Understand what metrics to measure for success
  • Learn how to identify trending topics before they disappear
  • Identify which platforms you should and shouldn’t be listening to
