Event Overview

Are your company’s social posts only getting likes from friends, family, and coworkers? Learn how a LinkedIn campaign opened doors to a global brand’s president, leading to a multimillion-pound opportunity, and how a Meta (Instagram and Facebook) campaign generated so many qualified leads the sales team requested a pause to catch up. James shares how Social Media Advertising is the missing piece to achieving Social ROI.
