enhance your social media with video

a workshop for journalists, social media managers and other communicators

Video is a powerful engagement tool. Marketing research shows that including visuals with your social media posts increases engagement by 180%. It's no wonder that social media feeds include more and more videos. But those videos follow new rules -they need to be shorter, intimate, explanatory.

This two-hour evening workshop will go over ways to enhance your social media output with better videos. Videojournalist Bob Sacha has taught this popular class many times, to journalism students and reporters from the worlds largest metro dailies.

Tickets are $25.
