A series of workshops on the basics of graphic design and digital marketing aimed at freelancers and small businesses are taking place in Stockport.

Graphic design workshops will introduce the online platform, Canva, to help participants learn to create social media graphics, presentations, and marketing materials.

The Intro to Digital Marketing workshop will cover the basics of getting a brand noticed online, including understanding your audience, the power of search engine optimisation, and how to interpret analytics and measure your marketing success.
