Social media campaign building

February 19, 2021 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm

Social media campaign building

COVID-19 has changed the way we interact with each other in our daily lives and changed how businesses and nonprofits communicate with their audiences. While it’s important to stay active on digital platforms — it’s also crucial to be mindful of your social media advertising strategy and the content you share on the Internet.

As communication leaders, we play a critical role in helping our communities navigate this time — from staying connected, to communicating during crises, to serving those in need.

With this in mind, we invited leaders to share some dos and don’ts when creating inclusive and thoughtful social media advertising in this case study session. We have asked Restart Partners to share how they used targeted messaging on Facebook to promote COVID-safety through mask-wearing, from planning, creating content, executing, and moderating.

Join us on Zoom, February 19th, Friday 6-7 pm PST to hear about how we can plan, create, and launch an inclusive behavioral change campaign across social media platforms.
