Programme Details
What will the programme cover?
Through expert talks, case studies, peer-to-peer discussions and practical work supported by one-to-one advisor sessions, we will cover digital marketing from a variety of angles.
Some of the questions we will ask:
-
- What is the latest in social media, web, apps and mobile, and what is their future?
- Which platforms will best help you achieve your organisation’s objectives?
- How do you successfully set up, plan and diversify content across a range of social channels?
- What can film exhibitors learn from other sectors’ innovative ways of connecting with audiences online?
- How do you translate online engagement into actual visits to your venue or festival?
- How do you target, engage, learn and utilise your “fans” to help generate interest and increase footfall?
- How do you generate more traffic – and how do you evaluate it? What do the stats mean and which are the best tools to collect and analyse this information?
- How do you get your colleagues on board and integrate a digital marketing strategy into the rest of your organisation’s planning and work?
…plus plenty of other questions you may have.
