When I started working in marketing, social media very quickly became a big part of the job, and what I struggled with most was not knowing anybody working in similar roles who I could turn to.
Most people around me in comms and marketing were in roles heavily focused on traditional PR, press releases, and physical marketing materials.
Social media-specific roles were barely a teeny tiny spec on the horizon.
I would have LOVED to go to an event with other people like me to hear about:
⭐ How others do their jobs as social media managers
⭐ How to acquire the essential skills to work in social media, what they are and what I should be focused on at those early stages in my career
⭐ How to develop and excel in a social media career and find jobs
⭐ How to create a social media strategy and build a portfolio of work
⭐ What I needed to know to decide whether to get a job or go freelance
This is EXACTLY what we have in the morning breakout room at Social Media Conference Cymru on Thursday September 26th, which is all around the theme of: Careers in Social Media.
🎙 First, THE Annie-Mai Hodge of the huge online community Girl Power Marketing will be sharing how to build a personal brand, create opportunities for yourself, and how she built a social media page from 0 to 270,000+ followers in only 4 years by herself.
🎙 Secondly, a not-to-be-missed panel of formidable Welsh women who have absolutely crushed the first decade of their social media careers and will share exactly how you can do the same. Mared Parry, Beth Thomas and Tiffany Jones will chat all things landing a job in social media, share their own journeys and give advice on how to excel in your social media career (which has led them to work with brands such as Six Nations Rugby, Cosmopolitan, and TikTok 👀)
There'll be plenty of opportunity for audience Q+As too, so you can ask your burning questions, or submit them to us ahead of the sessions if you'd rather not put your hand up to ask in front of the audience ❤️
Book your ticket before Thursday September 12th to 100% guarantee your ticket and that your dietary requirements can be fulfilled - if you're seeing this after the 12th, you'll still be able to buy a ticket but we may not be able to guarantee your dietary requirements.
Please help those you know who are on the cusp or perhaps just started their social media careers by tagging them here ⭐
