School Talks – Social Media, Personal Branding and Careers

Do you feel like you’re lost with the world of social media?
Do you want to help pupils in their future career?
Do you feel the pupils know more than you?

Perhaps you even feel it would be more appropriate for someone who works in social media to talk about social media.

TESTIMONIALS

“Alex very kindly gave up his time to come and present to our year 10’s and give them his professional knowledge and wisdom about the importance of personal branding and social media awareness.

He presents in a friendly, relatable and fun way and the students reacted well to this and willingly interacted.

I highly recommend Alex, he clearly knows his stuff, is passionate about what he does and his enthusiasm and energy shines through.” Andrew Gallamore, AGSB

“Alex has a way of bringing a reality to his training/presentations that instantly grabs the attention of his audience. He is extremely knowledgeable about so many current issues in his field and very kindly volunteered to share his expertise with some of the 16-18 year old learners I work with, which will be so valuable for them to get ready for the world of work. Whole-heartedly recommend!” Helen Murphy, Trafford College Group

“Alex delivered 3 social media talks to our Y12 students. He was engaging, interesting and provided the students with really useful information about making social media work to their advantage. It was brilliant to hear from a local entrepreneur who hasn’t developed a career via the “traditional” route. I’m looking forward to working with Alex in the future.” Nicki Cottam, Withington Girls School
