Please join us for the next OPuS event: The Future of Social Media for Publishers

Social media is a fast-changing landscape – beyond simply having a single Twitter account or a Facebook page, publishers and their authors are increasingly able to interact directly with their readers within social platforms. Peoples’ habits around social media are shifting constantly too, for example moving toward more visual content.

How are social media roles in publishing and their focus changing as the industry adjusts to these new kinds of engagement? How can choice of platform be decided to fit with the author and/or the content a publisher is working with? Which platforms are growing and how can publishers capitalise on this and build communities online?

Focusing on their own experience in an industry needing to stay ahead of the curve, our panel of 3 speakers will give a unique insight into this vital issue in publishing. This will be essential listening for anyone in Editorial, Marketing or Sales looking for ways to expand their digital marketing and finding ways that this can in turn influence their publishing strategy.

Leanne MacDuff – Consultant, Content & Social Media Marketing Campaign Strategist / Social Media Manager, Oxford University Press
