Creative social storytelling with NHS Digital & Doncaster Council
Webinar - Thursday, October 21st 2021 @ 4:00PM BST

Success on social media is not always determined by budget or resources, it’s about how well you can tell a story and how you harness creativity.

NHS Digital have recently transformed their comms strategy through online storytelling and Doncaster Council have repeatedly proven that public sector organizations can give B2C brands a run for their money on social channels.

We’re delighted to host this inspiring panel discussion with both of them, to find out exactly how they did it.This session is for everyone who works in marketing or communications and is not to be missed.
