Inspiration: get digital, creative and social at summer events
Author: CIM COM
This summer sees the return of the CIM Cambridge Digital Marketing Conference in July. Now in its 12th year, it mixes the very latest digital thinking with networking, and the option to see Duxford’s historic planes. The tone shifts from digital to creative with the ‘Innside’ Cannes Lions event this August in Manchester. Learn from an insider’s perspective on the huge Cannes Lions festival and from trailblazing creative. Then in September the social media marketing workshop tours three venues in the south west. It’s designed to enable you to maximise the effectiveness of social media within your integrated marketing plans.

Getting social: Making the most of your social media marketing
As digital technologies continue to get more sophisticated with more platforms and greater functionality, many organisations have struggled with understanding the role of social media as part of their integrated online/offline communications. In this workshop, we’ll be discussing the value and use of the different types of social media and when (and how) they should be used.
During the workshop, we’ll refer to established social media marketing theory and frameworks to help you get the most from your social media activity. We’ll investigate how social media can be an effective part of an integrated marketing plan to enhance customer experience and improve effectiveness. Key aspects of social media integration will be examined. We’ll also consider ways of measuring your success through free and easy to use tools and systems
