Helpmann Academy Activate Seminar Series

SOCIAL MEDIA FOR CREATIVES
with Alicia Wakeling, Head of Marketing, Freerange Future

Join Alicia Wakeling, Head of Marketing at Freerange Future to learn how to use social media to your advantage while building your creative business.

It might not come naturally to everyone but there’s no denying that being on social media as an artist is a must-do. It helps you to be discoverable, make local and international connections and develop audience relationships.

But which channels? What to post? How many hashtags? To pay for advertising or to not pay for advertising? We’ll answer these questions and more at this session on strategic social media for artists, so you’ll walk away ready to take your social media to the next level.

In this interactive workshop we’ll explore:

• A snapshot of the latest insights and trends in social
• Platform-specific techniques for Facebook and Instagram
• Understanding your audiences
• Creating an effective content mix
• Using a social media plan
• Opportunities in advertising
• Helpful tools and metrics
