In a sea of same, how do you stand out on social?

In a world of brand irrelevance, how do you build connections with new audiences at scale?

In a saturated feed, how do you capture attention?

As the world goes cookieless, how can we be sure of social’s impact?

When others are complacent, how can your brand stay one step ahead?

Join us at SocialMinds LIVE London for answers to all of these questions and more. 

Our first ever SocialMinds event in Manchester was an introduction to the disconnect. But that was only scratching the surface.  

Now it’s time for a deep-dive.  

Together with leaders from the SocialMinds community, SocialChain’s strategists and creators will deconstruct the five pillars of our unique and forward-thinking approach to overcoming the discrepancy between how your people use social and how you show up in the space. 

Secure your seat to find out:

What makes a distinctive brand on social

How to build engaged communities at scale

The secret to creating and measuring genuinely attention-grabbing content

How to ensure your social strategy delivers on your wider business objectives 

How you can innovate, continuously learn, and improve
