Social surgeries – Argyll & Isles Culture Heritage and Arts Assembly
The brief
Argyll and the Isles' Culture, Heritage and Arts Assembly (CHARTS) champion over 500 creative organisations and individuals. During the pandemic I supported their members by facilitating 10 1:1 digital marketing training sessions and producing training resources.
My role
To provide tailored support, for every digital marketing training session I carried out a digital audit. This looked at how each member’s digital channels were currently performing and included suggestions on how they could be improved (websites, social media channels, search engines and email marketing).
I also produced training resources including three virtual masterclasses featuring interviews with the author Mark Shayler on ‘How to stand out on social media’; ‘Who uses social media and what was the impact of the pandemic?’ with Fiona Mills from The Media Shop Scotland; and ‘Writing for social media‘ with Stuart Delves from Henzteeth.
I was also a webinar panel member for Glasgow School of Art Innovation School, where I discussed the digital marketing training needs of members in Argyll and Bute.
The result
The virtual masterclass videos and webinar have received over 500 views.
