You are warmly
invited to attend a FREE evening talk at The Park Inn Hotel, Bedford (opposite
Bedford College) on Tuesday 24 November 2015.
”What is
Social Media? How do I make the most of it?” is the topic of a talk and
demonstration by Mike and Georgia O’Keefe.
Have you been
told that Social Media is vital and you need to use it but not sure how or why?
Do you find
that you are just doing it because it's what everyone says?
Or you may not
even be using it because there's so much to learn! We understand... Let
us take you through the processes step by step and help you to understand why
it is a part of the marketing mix, what you can do to make it more
time-efficient and also help you to realise how it could really benefit you!
This
presentation is aimed at the non-technical but business minded individuals who
would like to get more out of their online presence or gain an insight into
what you can achieve from Social Media and online marketing.

O'Keefe
Georgia has
presented many training courses for various companies, including Buckingham
Palace, to help them manage their Social Media campaigns or even find their
