Tutorial

A New Web Strategy: get a good grip on all your online channels

Tutorial Day, Tuesday November 2nd, 13.00-16.00

There's a lot of social media talk, experimenting and ... failure. Since many social media projects are tool driven, non-aligned experiments, driven or even enforced by some individual or CEO, chances of success are quite small. In many cases we cannot even tell if it's a success or a failure, because there's no alignment with the organization's web strategy.

'Contentgirl' Xaviera Ringeling en 'Hartman' Erik will guide you in mixing your social media initiatives with the other channels in your web strategy. It's a workshop, so be prepared for 3 hours or really hard work! At the end of this tutorial, you will have a web strategy with social media in the mix that you can work with when you return from the conference.
