Absolutely fantastic. David came to us to give a 4-hour training session on how we can make our Facebook ads more effective and productive. We were absolutely delighted with the training. We cannot recommend him (and JC Social media) enough. Well worth the investment.

I can't recommend this training enough. It was a shock to learn how little we actually knew about how we can make social media work hard for us. The course itself was excellently delivered, engaging and content-rich.

Office-based or remote training
Depending on your circumstances, you may prefer face-to-face or remote training. We’ll discuss which option works best for you but we have plenty of experience with both.
Since 2020, the vast majority of our training has been done over Zoom or similar video calling software. This has proven very effective and easy to arrange, especially when multiple members of your team will be participating in the training.
If you require an in-person session, we’ll work out all the logistics and we’ll be able to join you at your offices or a suitable location nearby.
Below are some of the topic areas we often cover in our content creation training sessions:
Social content strategy
It’s important to understand exactly the role that digital content is playing for your business. Knowing which content to develop for each platform is key to making maximum impact in the most cost-effective way.
Photographs and graphics
We’ll look at how static images work on social media and weigh up using stock imagery, holding a photoshoot or instructing a graphic designer to develop bespoke work such as infographics for your brand.
Videos, GIFs, Facebook live and IGTV
Videos, long and short, are incredibly effective on social media. New tools allowing users to live stream video directly to social platforms demonstrate that trend. We’ll show you how to best leverage this type of content.
Written articles
Long-form content such as articles and blogs are still a popular way to build brand awareness and show your expertise. These posts are perfect for sharing but they must appeal to the average user. We have some great tips for writing great pieces.
Being efficient and effective
Creating content is time-consuming and potentially costly. Making sure you create the right content for social media and use it effectively will drastically improve your ROI.
Answering your questions
We’ll make sure all of your questions about social media marketing are answered so you’re confident in your decisions and actions moving forward.

Without exception, the best training course I have ever attended. David was infectiously enthusiastic and incredibly knowledgeable. The course has opened our minds to what can be achieved via social media campaigns. Cannot recommend highly enough.
