Social media training

Social media moves fast. New features, new algorithms, new formats: keeping up can feel like a full-time job on top of your actual full-time job.

My training focuses on what will actually make a difference for your business, whether you’re just getting started or want more from the platforms you’re already using.

Get up to speed on social media

Whether you’re a beginner or a more experienced social media user, I can tailor the training to cover topics such as:

creating engaging content people want to read
the best content formats to use
when to post (and how frequently) to get results
getting to grips with video
how to build a loyal following
using organic vs paid social
engaging strategically on the platforms

We’ll work through practical exercises and draw inspiration from social media marketing examples in your sector. You’ll leave with new skills that you can put into practice immediately.

Social media training that's designed for you

Every training session I run is built from scratch. The slides, the examples, the exercises: everything is tailored to your business, your platforms and what you want to achieve. So what you get is genuinely specific to you, not a course that’s been delivered to dozens of others before yours.

If you’re thinking, ‘This all sounds great, but I don’t have time to manage social media myself,’ I can manage your social media platforms for you, freeing up your time to focus on running your business.

What my clients say

I’d recommend Karen’s social media training. She has a thorough knowledge across all platforms, and real insight into the algorithms and ads. She went above and beyond to assess our accounts and had many good suggestions for how we might grow our embryonic accounts. I’d highly recommend her bespoke courses.

Case Study

St Brides Partners

St Brides Partners is a PR and marketing consultancy that specialises in the mining and technology sectors. The team manage many client accounts and they were keen to pick up new tactics and skills to get better results from social media marketing.

I teamed up with two fellow social media experts to design and deliver a bespoke one-day training session for St Brides. The day included lots of lively discussion and questions, with practical tasks and live walk-throughs.

The outcome

St Brides Partners took away recommendations to be more daring with their visuals and to experiment with short-form videos and live sessions. They’re already implementing their new learning with LinkedIn Lives and short videos.

Case Study

National Institute for Healthcare Research (NIHR)

Chrissy Sturt, Communications Lead at the NIHR Wessex Research Hub, asked me for help with Instagram and Facebook training. Chrissy’s goal was to use social media marketing to increase public awareness of the hub’s research.

The outcome

Chrissy and I talked about how Reels, Stories, and paid advertising could shine a light on The Wessex Research Hub’s work.

Chrissy left our training sessions buzzing with enthusiasm and armed with new ideas. She quickly put her new Reels knowledge to work, achieving great success in developing the hub’s social media activity and building an engaged, loyal following.
