Free Webinar:  Boost Engagement and Reach on your Social Media Posts 

 

Join us for a free Westco Lunch and Learn on Thursday, 16 April, 12 –1 pm, where Hannah Lomax, Westco’s Digital Communications Associate, will share practical ways to improve your social media reach and engagement.

In this session, Hannah will talk through what really makes a difference on social media right now. From how the algorithms work to why some posts take off while others disappear without a trace.

 

We’ll look at simple things you can start doing straight away to improve performance. That includes planning your content more effectively so they reach more people and developing a tone of voice that actually connects with your audience.

 

Hannah will also share ideas for using images and short-form content more effectively to grab attention in busy feeds, plus how responding to comments and conversations can help your channels grow over time.

 

Whether you’re managing social media day-to-day or thinking about how to take a more strategic approach, you’ll leave with practical ideas you can put into practice straight away.

 

We’ll cover things like:  

  • How social media algorithms influence who sees your posts
  • Planning content that people actually want to engage with 
  • Tactics so content has the best chance of performing well 
  • Developing a tone of voice that feels human 
  • Making better use of images and short-form video content 
  • Responding to comments and building interaction 
  • Growing and developing your channels over time
