ONLINE (QLD): Old School + Traditional Media Methods

This is part of the Online Webinar Series, facilitated by CREATIVE PLUS BUSINESS and part of Sunshine Coast Council’s MadeSC Professional Development Program.

Everything old is new again – with the increased instability of social media, more creatives are turning back to previous marketing tactics. This webinar explores the benefits and practicalities. 

This workshop examines:
+ The EDM: regular newsletters and reaching out directly to fans and audience.
+ ‘Warm Calling’: A new take on the old process of cold calling, with a better strategy and results.
+ Giveaways and Pro Bono Offerings; When working for free is a GOOD idea.
+ Coffee Meetings: Using the in-person consumption of hot drinks to create lasting relationships.
