Local enterprise charity, Business Launchpad has launched a new youth marketing agency called Y-Connect as part of its youth led approach.

Y-Connect’s core work is around helping businesses reach, connect and engage with youth audiences through social media. They have worked with a range of clients from beauty and skincare to children and youth-led services.

After a successful social media masterclass in September last year, Y-Connect will be launching a 6 week social media programme starting on 6th February.

Each week will have a key theme with a particular focus on the main social media platforms along with practical step-by-step tips on how individuals and businesses can use them to create effective campaigns that engage with their audience.

“We recognise that social media can be a particularly daunting and overwhelming prospect for business owners. After launching last year we have helped several start-ups through Business Launchpad grow their following by 30% through our content creation and engagement strategies. This programme is a great opportunity to learn everything you need to know about growing your business and brand on social media with our specialists” says Caroline Odogwu, Y-Connect Founder.
