Adapting With Digital Webinar Series - Dorset Growth Hub

We’ve all been thrown in at the deep end.

We’ve seen several blogs, social posts, memes and GIFs of people working from home and for some, making a monumental shift in how they work. For others it remains the same, but the world is more than ever hyper-connected by digital and we need to learn fast how to make it work for us all in these testing times.

This series of webinars are here to help; to keep you connected online, to keep you interacting with your customers and keeping you and your business running whilst adapting and innovating in new ways of working as well as spreading a little joy!

The first in the series was all about digital tools, software and resources that you can use for free or at a small cost that will lend you a helping hand.

Episode 5 - 22/04 - Social Media - Creating & Planning Content - How has it evolved in recent weeks? For this episode Rich will be showcasing how companies are currently using social media. He'll be highlighting good and bad examples from his searches on social channels and sharing with the audience. Also he will be joined by guest speakers David Taylor from DNASix to talk in more detail about Digital Communications and it's importance right now more than ever. Rich will also be joined by Clare Groombridge from Social media agency South Coast Social to talk about the shifts they have seen with clients in terms of content and planning on social.

Episode 6: 29/04 - Battle of the Brand: Fight or Flight Mode - Are you pausing on your brand awareness (Furlough effect)?, if so what is your plan for the future? Or are you full steam ahead and upping your online brand presence?…. In this episode Rich will be joined by guest speaker and Brand Specialist Matt Desmier of Wise Old Uncle. Matt will share his recent experiences with brands and share his thoughts on how brands are reacting right now and what can be done over the coming months to manage your online brand presence.

This is a series of live webinars and they will be hosted every Wednesday at 11am by Richard Burn, our Digital Projects Manager and he will be joined by a series of guests, sharing their own stories and innovative ideas to pivot their businesses during these challenging times.

What topics will be covered?

We really want to focus on bringing a bit of hope and best practices to put in place for when we are able to bounce back, looking further ahead.

The world is evolving minute by minute, so instead of a set schedule of topics for these webinars it seems sensible to take an iterative and organic approach, building content built around what suits your needs and the feedback received. We hope this can make a real difference and take a little weight from your shoulders at this challenging time.

Who can attend?

Any business owner or worker across the South Coast who wants to learn from some people using digital tools to manage their work.

You will receive the joining instructions via e-mail on Wednesday morning.
