Wednesday 20 May, 10.30am - 12pm BST

Digital growth rarely comes from a single channel. Prospective clients move between search, social, recommendations, industry voices, paid activity and owned content, making it harder to know where your effort and investment should sit.

This workshop introduces the PESO model as a practical and strategic way to bring Paid, Earned, Shared and Owned media into one clear approach. We’ll discuss how these channels work together to build credibility, extend reach and ultimately support commercial growth. We’ll cover how you can build a core strategy that focuses attention on your specific skills and areas of expertise and brings all your channels together to complement each other. We’ll examine how to understand your current digital presence, identify specific opportunities for improvement, and design an integrated strategy that reflects how clients actually discover, assess and choose design partners today. We’ll also focus on how to measure performance in a meaningful way, so decisions about your time and budget resources are grounded in evidence. Whether you're well versed in digital strategies and looking for guidance on the current context, or you are looking to build your confidence and expertise, you will benefit from these tactics.
