Social Media Retreats:
fast track into the world of social media

The Social Media Retreat offers the chance for twelve participants to delve into the depths of social media to truly understand themselves, their brand, and their organization’s brands, and learn how to communicate those brands through multiple channels – both online and offline.
The Social Media Retreat is based on the principles of learning and interacting with some of the best minds from Ecademy and the industry. The Retreat’s exclusivity means that it also naturally leads to peer-level learning and relationship building that continues post retreat.

These two day retreats take place at carefully selected retreat
locations – for example, in the UK at Warren House in Kingston and
in the US at Rosewood Hotel Sand Hill, Menlo Park, California.
These locations provide the perfect environment to relax, learn and
absorb the knowledge and insights into how social media actually
works and what its purpose and role is in business and society.
