Social media

Social media is an incredibly useful and powerful tool which can help you to engage people around the world. While many of us will use social media for personal use, social media is increasingly used by organisations to engage members of the public. However, not everyone is up to speed with social media, which does change at a rapid pace. Here, we provide you with some simple guides to social media, including some templates to help you develop your digital social media strategy, which is a good step in helping you to understand why you want to use social media and how you will do so.
