Social Media Strategies and Best Practices. April 18, 2023, 2:00 PM
ET
Social media marketing is a critical tool for any organization, but
Catholic Charities agencies face many challenges in building and
sustaining a comprehensive and effective social media strategy.
Which platforms make the most sense for your agency? How can you use
each platform most effectively? How can you stay current on the
various algorithm changes that could impact your performance? And
how do you find the time to manage your social media accounts when
you have many other responsibilities?
We will explore these questions and more during this webinar brought
to you by the CCUSA Marketing and Communications Section. CCUSA
Director of Digital Communications Christina Kilroy will share her
expertise and highlight best practices from Catholic Charities
agencies around the country. During the second half of the session,
attendees will break into small groups to discuss their own
challenges and strategies.
This webinar is designed especially for mid-sized and small
agencies, but all are welcome. Register in advance for this
webinar. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email
containing information about joining the webinar.
