Social Media Seminars for Locals in Business  

Nelson-based social media professionals, Kate Coote and Amy Cunningham, have joined forces to provide a series of workshops which aim to teach local business people how to utilise the power of digital communication.

Coote and Cunningham are individual owners of local PR and web/marketing firms Kate Coote. and Cunningham Communications and say the workshops are a way of sharing their knowledge of free social media and digital content marketing with the Nelson public.

“Amy and I have both had extensive experience in harnessing social marketing to enable our clients to achieve their business goals, “ says Coote.

“In today’s highly competitive business market it is essential to have a digital presence, particularly in Nelson due to the seasonal economy. The beauty of social media is it is free and anyone can use it, but there are a variety of other advantages as well - including better engagement and interaction with the audience of a brand, the ability to build bigger databases and generate sales leads,” says Coote.

Cunningham says the duo have compatible skills and have successfully worked together on previous occasions.

“Kate and I have worked very well together on a number of projects, and although our businesses differ slightly - I provide mainly public relations whereas Kate’s core business is content marketing, web design and creative; we both deliver a number of social media services which have become increasingly popular and highly beneficial for organisations of all shapes and sizes,” says Cunningham.

Cunningham Communications and Kate Coote. will present their introductory seminar, Social and Digital Communication for Business, on Tuesday November 5, from 9:30am to 12noon at Trailways Hotel in Nelson. Tickets are $30- per person (including GST).
