Flow Communications once again hosted its popular Twitter course this past Tuesday evening. Writers, journalists and marketing specialists attended the workshop that was led by Flow’s CEO Tara Turkington and MD Tiffany Turkington-Palmer.
Twitter is the fastest growing network in South Africa, but for many the limit of 140 characters per message is intimidating. Flow MD Turkington-Palmer says Flow’s Twitter courses deconstruct the process. “We see that many companies and individuals know they want to get onto Twitter but are very daunted by the prospect. We offer friendly, relaxed courses that make Twitter easy to understand.”
The workshop gives an overview of how Twitter has grown, and how it can be used to network with clients and encourage brand awareness online.
Some of the delegates at this month’s course included book journalist Michele Magwood, novelist Jo-Anne Richards and CEO of the Gauteng Tourism Authority Dawn Robertson.
Geraldine Bruce, executive recruitment specialist at Mindcor, says she really enjoyed the course. “Twitter’s been driving me a bit crazy but at least now I know what those hashtags are!”
Shoni Makhari, CEO of Flow PR, attended the course and found it very insightful. “Twitter provides an up-to-date service that is inseparable from any brand-building exercise. At Flow PR we intend to make full use of this platform.”
Marketing assistant at Maropeng Ntlotleng Kobue found the course fun and insightful. “It was informal but so informative. For my work in marketing and communications in the tourism industry I know I can use Twitter as a way to connect with visitors who have been to Maropeng, and people interested in our product.”
Other people who attended this Twitter course at Flow School included advertising art director Kevin Yong and subeditor Linda Piegl.
