The masterclasses are:

Social Media:
Content, Community & Managing a Crisis
It’s time to put the focus back on your customers instead of simply ticking boxes when it comes to social media. This session, led by Suze Bouwer will offer insight on how to gauge sentiment and create (and repurpose) meaningful content for your social media.
The masterclasses will also touch on the importance of having an effective process in place to manage negative reviews and comments – as well as a crisis communications strategy for when things go wrong.

In this session, Amy Knight-Dawson will help you unleash the true superpower of a strong newsletter, how to do it, but also how to grow your list without compromising on safety and security.
