Google Digital Garage has been offering businesses free digital marketing advice and training. But they are also hosting regular free digital marketing events, including the WordPress Leeds / Northern Bloggers group recent event on User Experience and Email Marketing and the upcoming Leeds Business Week 2015.

jrc.agency will be hosting two sessions on social media and digital marketing for SMEs. Attending both will obviously give you double the amount of tips and tricks however if you are unable to don’t worry as each session will be independent of each other.

Social media is an important marketing channel for small and medium-sized organisations. In addition to enabling you to quickly and easily reach and engage large numbers of clients, hyper-local targeting opportunities on platforms like Facebook mean you can build active communities locally and regionally. An active social media presence will also do wonders for your website’s SEO. With a solid social media strategy, you can showcase your expertise, highlight your USPs, position your company in a crowded marketplace, and develop trust with potential customers and clients.

The course, led by social media expert Jonny Ross, will include advice on utilising all the major social media platforms, including Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook. It will also focus on the importance of blogging, how it is core to any good digital strategy, and how it links in with an organisation’s wider PR, communications and SEO strategy.
