“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

Is this Academy for you?
If you create social media content for your brand, it can feel tricky to make it stand out.
Sometimes we ask ourselves:
"How do you have the ideas that make your posts go viral?"
"Why is my content not getting the results I want?"
"How can I be more creative?"
Well, The Social Media Expert course that will teach you how to consistently create social media content that gets loads of engagement and brilliant results.
Our monthly masterclasses will bring you the freshest thinking and skills.
And our content calendar will give you the structure and ideas you need to confidently do your best work.
If you don't work in a role where you regularly use social media to communicate with your audience, this ISN'T for you.
The SMMA won't cover basics like how and why to tweet, or use Facebook.
The programme has been designed for professional communicators and marketers in not-for-profit organisations like charities, councils, housing associations and public services.
(Occasionally students from other industries want to join us, and that's cool, as they get great results too. Let us know if that sounds like you, and we can chat about if the academy is right for you.)
