Things You Never Get Taught #16: Social Media

This practical 3-hour workshop is designed for creative practitioners who want to feel more confident and intentional about how they show up on social media. Together, we’ll explore who you’re trying to reach, what you want social media to do for your creative practice, and how to build a simple strategy that fits your time and energy.

You’ll learn how to develop content ideas, plan posts, and use scheduling tools — including those from Meta — to stay consistent without burning out. By the end of the session, you’ll leave with a clear, one-page social media plan tailored to your work, giving you the structure and direction to promote yourself more effectively and sustainably.

What you’ll gain:
• A clearer understanding of your audience and how to reach them
• Defined goals for what social media can support in your creative practice
• Practical tools for planning and scheduling content
• A realistic approach to maintaining consistency without overwhelm
• A personalised one-page social media plan you can immediately put into action

This session is ideal for artists, designers, makers, and creative practitioners at any stage who want a clearer, more sustainable approach to using social media.
