Is this a familiar scenario?

We all want our work to have impact, but communicators - especially those working for not-for-profit brands like charities, local public services, and housing associations - often face a few problems:

  • Your audiences aren't fully engaged and interested in important but heavy, often complex topics
     
  • You feel creatively constrained by a need to keep your social media well-judged and uncontroversial
     
  • It can be hard to find time to upskill and craft your best content


But you CAN bring your social media to life!

With Social Media Comms Academy, all year you learn skills, get inspiration, handy templates and resources AND help with implementation. 

Join Hel Reynolds, expert guest speakers, and other creative communicators in the social media club and professional development programme that gets you incredible results.

More experiences from our talented students...

“It was such a refreshing change to other training courses. Helen is wonderful, so incredibly enthusiastic and supportive. You never feel like you're being preached at or lectured, it's just one comms professional sharing her experiences and wisdom with a group of like-minded comms folk. ”

Hannah Ambrose, Communications Manager

“The best thing about the course is being able to experiment with social media after LOTS of inspiration. This has given me the confidence to use my knowledge and express concerns to the team, whilst also allowing me to be more creative. Our social media has made an improvement already!”

Joelle Allen, Communications Officer (Campaigns)

“There's always the fear that this is going to be another course that shares the information you already know. This course wasn't the case - it was the way the practical advice was framed - the tips were aimed at people like me, busy and in charge of a number of things”

Gemma Warren, Group Marketing Manager
