Socialise, the new book unlocking your social media content to win more work

Your content isn’t boring. You’re just communicating your content in a boring way.

Every business we talk to has the same problem. They need to harness the power of storytelling to reach their audience, but in a constantly changing online landscape, it feels like a marketing strategy written on Monday is already out of date by the weekend.

Should you use paid or organic social media? Will the platform formerly known as Twitter be around this time next year? What is Threads? 

Our new book, Socialise: Unlock your content, maximise social media engagement and win more work than ever before won’t answer any of these questions. 

Instead, it will equip you to answer them yourself in a constantly changing world. 

This book will help you find your audience, tell your story, and win more work using any social media platform (even those that don’t exist yet). 

What is Socialise?

Practical and evergreen, Socialise is the social media handbook for marketing professionals in B2B organisations. Packed with insights and examples from all different industries, if you’re looking to connect with your audience, you will find this book useful. 

Socialise shows you how to transform your content into stories, and why social media has become the most powerful storytelling tool to win more work for your business.

You will learn: 

• Storytelling techniques to gain your audience’s attention and trust
• How to build a story-focused social media strategy for your business
• How to adapt storytelling techniques for all the social media mediums at your disposal

Socialise will be available for purchase and download this September on the Amazon bookstore.
