About the Content and Social Media Strategy workshop:

Tame your cat – make your content and social media purr!

In a world of endless promotional options when everyone is trying to sell you advertising it can be hard to know where to invest time and budget. What’s more, in Aotearoa NZ almost a quarter (24%) of people use ad-blocker software – and that number isn’t going down.

That’s where taming your cat comes in. The GoodSense cat is an easy to use and remember tool and metaphor for structuring your content, social media and PR/communications.

It’ll help you prioritise and develop an activity plan that works for your organisation in today’s complex marketing and media environment.

This is a practical workshop in which we’ll help you to:

  • Understand the role of brand purpose in your marketing communications
  • Select the four storytelling legs that will carry your brand to your audiences
  • Map out the content, digital and physical communications strategy for your organisation

PLUS: All workshop participants will also receive a free activity planning tool to help translate your strategy into an action plan.
