Gary Ennis, Managing Director of NSDesign Ltd, will provide a practical introduction to the world of social media. He will explore modern social networking sites such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube as a means of positively benefiting your organisation by truly engaging your audience and protecting your online brand.
