Are you a Sunderland-based creative practitioner, heritage/cultural organisation or creative business concerned about comms during the current crisis?
As part of Sunderland Culture’s Unlock the City programme, we are offering the opportunity to book an hour-long session with social media queen and culture champion, the Culture Vulture (aka. Rachel Horton) to discuss the comms challenges thrown up by current events and to get some troubleshooting tips from an expert.
Topics covered could include:
– How to maintain a relationship with your audience/ customers during times of uncertainty
– Building an audience for an online event
– Running a digital marketing campaign
– How to stand out in a crowded marketplace
– Making best use of social media to get your message out there
– Explore different social media platforms and types of content and their place or purpose in the new digital comms landscape
– Develop a presence on a new social media platform, e.g. TikTok
– Or simply have a facilitated conversation around your current projects, the challenges you are facing and exploring ways of overcoming them.
You will be asked to share your social media channels ahead of the session, so that The Culture Vulture can prepare and familiarise herself with your platforms.
Sessions will be on phone or zoom, according to preference.
