Institute of Marketing in Malawi Communications Director, Eric Mataka, told Nyasa Times on Sunday that Specifically, the marketers will be trained in UGC strategy, Content Curation, and sources of UGC.

He said: “This webinar builds on yet another webinar, which the IMM organised for its membership in March this year and focused on Digital Marketing.”

“UGC is anything on the web that users have a hand in making. From photos to videos, and posts on social media and the web, all are pieces of user generated content.”

Mataka said IMM has initiated the webinar based on the background of the current huge change in media consumption trends whereby consumers are constantly being bombarded with various media content from gossip to breaking news, memes and the like.

He said It is in such an environment that IMM recognizes that marketing needs to make the best use of UGC in order to tap into the same conversations by the public that compels consumers to associate and engage with particular brand in making purchases.

The Facilitator, Shann Biglione is a well know Guru in Digital marketing as a speaker and writer on the same.
