Workshop Overview

This last year has forced heritage organisations to consider and improve how they market themselves online. When the pandemic forced us into lockdown in March 2020, online become essential to keeping connected to your audience. One year on and it’s never been more important to be strategic and intentional about your digital marketing, which is essential to your organisation’s survival in an increasingly tech-driven world.

This two-part marketing workshop will help you begin thinking through the various facets of digital marketing and whether you are utilising the tools and techniques out there to help you reach and engage the right audiences on the right platforms.

We will help you assess where you are currently, in terms of digital, and where you want to be as an organisation – creating a roadmap for success. You will then learn how to identify your audience, where to find them online and how best to engage them.

The workshop will be split into two morning sessions, from 10am-12pm, each lasting two hours with time for Q&A.

The workshop will:

Talk you through the fundamentals of digital marketing and why it matters
Help you assess where you are currently and where you want to be
Help you identify and understand your audience, and where to find them online
Equip you with the tips, tools and techniques needed to market your organisation successfully online
Teach you which metrics to measure success against
