Digital Leadership Programme

Each workshop involves theoretical introduction, practical exercises and group activities, alongside peer-to-peer learning and sharing.

Every participant will receive a digital marketing strategy template to use in each session, providing each attendee with a tangible action plan to use when they return to their organisation.

Learning outcomes

In this workshop you will learn:

The importance of digital marketing and the challenges currently being faced by the sector and your own organisation
How to use and incorporate digital marketing channels, tools, trends and techniques into your organisation's marketing strategy
The value of investing in digital and how it can impact your work and sustainability
How to get buy in from your board, CEO, employees
How to create a tangible and useable digital marketing plan for your organisation

Who should attend?

This training is for charity leaders and individuals in a position to influence digital transformation within their organisation.

There are two spaces available per organisation on each workshop. We recognise that the most impactful change is achieved when decision makers are on the same page. These two spaces are open to:

A CEO, Chair, Trustee or Senior Manager of a small to medium sized charity or civil society organisation (with a turnover £2 million and under)
A second person who is instrumental in the integration and implementation of the digital marketing strategy. This could again be a Chair, Trustee or Senior Manager or a marketing and communications lead.
