Scroll-Stopping Socials: Make Your Content Count

Create attention-grabbing social media content that builds trust, boosts engagement, and turns followers into customers

Social media in 2026 is faster, smarter and far more competitive but that doesn’t mean it has to be complicated. This in-person, hands-on workshop is designed to help businesses cut through the noise and focus on what genuinely drives growth.

Led by Zebra PR, specialists in marketing and business growth, this interactive session combines clear strategy with practical action. You’ll work through a dedicated workbook, complete focused tasks along the way and leave with ideas already mapped out - not just notes to revisit later.

From choosing the right platforms (not all of them), to creating content that earns attention, builds trust and supports your wider business goals, we’ll cover what actually works on social media in 2026. Expect fresh content ideas, smarter posting strategies, campaign planning and a realistic approach to growing your channels consistently - without burning out.

About this event

Social media continues to be one of the most powerful tools for business growth — and in 2026, it’s less about doing more and more about doing things properly. With over 80% of people checking social media before buying, showing up well has never been more important.

This in-person workshop is designed to be practical, focused and genuinely useful. You don’t need to be everywhere and we’ll help you work out exactly where your business should be, and why.

Using our foundations-first approach, you’ll refine your messaging, understand your audience and start building content that fits your brand, not trends for the sake of it. Through guided exercises, real examples and a take-home workbook, you’ll leave with clarity, confidence and a clear plan to improve your social media performance in 2026.
