25.01.2022 Spring has sprung! So, now is a good time to freshen-up your organisation's online 'look' Engage your audience with a fresh website header image. Update your social media profile pic. Or, bring-on a flash, new Facebook banner image.... Don't get too adventurous though. Make sure you stay 'on-brand'. You don't want to become unrecognisable to your friends and fans! No need to spend a fortune either. Canva has a great range of templates to help you create images to fit any format. And, if you're struggling to find suitable photos, Unsplash is an excellent source of free photographic images (don't forget to acknowledge the photographer ). #beheard #socialmediamarketing #canberra #socialmediaforsocialgood #springfresh
