Show your brand some love by giving it an edge in the online space.
Because you’re doing great work already and content marketing is the way you ensure people know about it.
Join our One Day Workshop on Friday, 24 August to discover how to use stories, content and social media to elevate your online offering from mediocre to memorable.
At the heart of great content is an understanding of the importance of strategic differentiation and how to create that differentiation for your brand in a crowded online space.
Our very interactive, highly informative and insightful ONE DAY WORKSHOP, presented by co-founders Delia de Villiers and Sarah Jayne Fell, will equip you with the tools, techniques and tricks needed to elevate your brand’s content offering in a thoughtful, interesting and relevant way.
