Social Media / Digital Marketing Trainer

If you are bored with social media, it is more likely you are trying to get more value from it than you are creating for your audience or customers – @fastcompany

Please imagine, for a moment, that your business is a bike. A gorgeous, sexy, beast of a motorbike. All parts of the bike work in harmony with each other, including at least one passenger to drive it forward, so together the bike and rider can successfully navigate any bumps in the road they may face together. The tank is full, the engine is purring, so it’s visor down and let’s ride!

Now I’d like you to picture, sitting alongside the motorbike, is a side car carrying as many passengers as it can (usually one, I know, but it’s your imagination so fill your boots). That side car is unable to move without a reliable motorbike to guide it. It has to compliment how the bike looks or it’ll appear ridiculous, possibly event mocked.

This is how I see social media. In this analogy, the bike is the business. Each part working together, like the stands of a business (marketing, finance, operations, etc.), ensuring the progress of its journey. The side car (the social media aspect of a business) adds personality, compliments the bike, picks passengers up on the way and drops them off too. It isn’t attached to one part of the bike (e.g. solely to marketing) but to different parts to ensure stability. The side car also can’t travel on its own, or at a different speed. It needs the bike.

Firstly, what I won’t do is manage your social media as the best people to do that are immersed in the company they should represent on social media.

I will, however, share my skills and knowledge to help you manage your social media. My Social Media / Digital Marketing Training is tailored to the needs of your business.
