Social Media
From MEDS Wiki
WHAT IS SOCIAL MEDIA COMMUNICATING AND WHY
Social media helps us to communicate on common platforms what
- MEDS Network
- MEDS Workshop
Each have one Facebook and Instagram page.
The reasons are simple: We want to focus on the whole network and our strongest initiative, the workshop, so that the branding is clear and is not misleading our audience.
SHORT EXCERPT FROM THE PAST
We had many national Facebook and Instagram pages which were not updated/taken care of. A lot of reposting happened and MEDS as a brand was diluting. That's why we have been merging and deleting all national Facebook and Instagram pages and link it to one business account.
