Want to learn the secrets to getting those sweet retweets?

Christine — Thu, 10 Feb 2011 17:45:12 +0000

With the aim of sharing some of our writing knowledge gained at places like the BBC, ITV, Yahoo!, AOL, Magic FM and Heat, my fellow editor Sue Keogh from Sookio and I gave a workshop as part of the Social Media Week London conference.

Our session covered:

how to write a killer headline
crafting tweets to get them retweeted
writing for Facebook and Twitter
bringing it all together with an example from AOL and the Saturdays
sharing our favourite dos and don’ts when writing for social media.

Feedback included:

‘Informal but informative’

‘Very informative, common sense approach’

‘The examples really helped with a current campaign’

‘Lots of great tips’

‘Great takeaways’

We’ll be offering more workshops in the following areas in the very near future. Please get in touch if you’d like to know more.

Writing the perfect headline
How to write a good blog post
Writing for Facebook as a brand
How to write well on Twitter for brands

We held the event at the AOL building on Capper Street. As you’d expect it’s all bright, fluffy cushions on funky sofas and glass staircases. In fact, it was a fantastic venue due to its central location, huge conference room with comfortable chairs and the lovely spread of sandwiches and cakes they put on. Thanks AOL!
