The modern social media marketer has to constantly assess whether to pivot and adjust strategy as social platforms change and evolve.
When Facebook announced its live broadcast feature is last April (yes, it’s not even a year old), social media marketers paid attention. CBC Manitoba began experimenting with Facebook Live in the early days and has since used the feature in many ways, from content sharing to community building to behind-the-scenes. Gabriela and Inayat will walk you through considerations to make in planning you own Facebook Live broadcasts.
