SESSION OVERVIEW

Focus: Paid Advertising & Marketing Strategy
Host & Trainer:  Peter Bowden
Date: Tuesday, Nov 4, 2025
Duration: 2 hours

Paid advertising today is incredibly powerful, given the data social media platforms have.  We'll discuss this in the context of UU congregational outreach and membership development strategy.  

Related to this, we also need to talk about the shift from social media to "interest media" -- content being shown online is no longer about who a person follows but what real-time data tells algorithms they are interested in.

In the broader marketing world, top marketing firms are combining these approaches.   They test content — what their audience responds to — and then design advertising campaigns around that.  

Playback Speed

When you play any video in our member area, you can click on the gear icon (hover over the video) and select the playback speed.  Yes, you can speed me up and slow me down.
