Digital Strategy for Heritage: What, why & how

Jonathan Chevallier, CEO, Charity Digital and Giles Woodhouse, Chief Strategy Officer, Wessex Archaeology

 

Research shows that many heritage organisations do not have a digital strategy and therefore are not making the most of the opportunities that digital technology provides.

 

With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic increasing the reliance of organisations on digital for their day to day operations and audience interaction, a digital strategy is now essential to maximise the potential for growth and impact that digital brings.

 

In this session, the Charity Digital CEO Jonathan Chevallier will be joined by Giles Woodhouse, Chief Strategy Officer at Wessex Archaeology to lead you through why it is so vital to have a digital strategy and how your organisation can start taking the key steps to form one. They will also be sharing some useful tips and resources that will help elevate or develop your organisation’s digital strategy.

 

 

Creating cut-through content

Andrew Davis, Keynote Speaker & Social Media Trainer

 

Our shift to a digital world means trying to find unique ways to tell our story online, where the potential to reach newer, broader, more diverse audiences is high.

 

However this also means everyone is fighting for attention, and being strategic about this in 2020 is important if you want to cut through the noise.

 

This workshop explores what cutting edge content looks like today, demonstrates fundamental ways to promote that content, and ultimately shows ways to get people to take action. You will leave this session with the key elements of a content plan and actionable steps.
