and now we're ready to Talk Numbers!
At this year's event, learn how can you use your budget wisely and
efficiently to up your social media game and turn your digital
marketing into increased engagement! We'll also discuss DATA - how to
read it, interpret it, and use it to inform decisions in our networks.
Finally, we'll touch on 'building a movement', and how social media
plays a part.
Tickets are FREE for anyone working within a charity or non-profit
organization!
