Ciaran's top tips:

  • "Do your research so you can match your channels with your audience"
  • "Have fun – social media can be daunting until you find your voice but you don’t find your voice until you make a few mistakes"
  • "Analyse - if you’re not actively looking at what works then you’ll never understand how best to approach social media moving forward"
  • "Get buy-in from employees - it is vital for sharing content as well as spotting things and feeding back"
