Social media training for regulated in-house teams
A working day on organic and paid social for brands that answer to a regulator, covering what can be said, who can say it, and what has to be kept on record.
What the day covers
The spine of the session. The examples and the live accounts we work in are yours.
What counts as a promotion
The line between brand presence and a regulated communication, which is usually crossed by accident.
Paid social under restriction
Targeting, exclusions and category rules, and the ones platforms enforce most aggressively.
Influencers and affiliates
Briefing, approving and policing people who publish in your name, and who is liable when it goes wrong.
Community management
Replying at speed without giving advice, and knowing when to take a conversation off-channel.
Record keeping
What you have to retain, for how long, and how to capture content that was designed to disappear.
When something goes wrong
Escalation that works out of hours, because that is when it will happen.
Module by module
Run in this order, because each one assumes the last.
Organic strategy in a regulated brand
Building a presence that is worth having without drifting into regulated territory.
Promotions and the rules
Recognising when a post has become a regulated communication, before it is published.
Paid social clinic
Working in your own ad accounts on targeting, exclusions and creative that clears review.
Influencer and affiliate control
Briefs, approvals and the monitoring that stops a partner creating a breach.
Community management
Response frameworks, escalation paths and the questions never to answer in public.
Record keeping and audit
Capturing and retaining what the regulator may later ask to see.
Crisis and escalation
A practical plan for the post that should not have gone out.
Social is where regulated brands get caught out fastest
Taught with your market’s constraints built in.
Social moves quickly, which is the point of it and also the risk. A reply typed in thirty seconds is a financial promotion if it reads like one, an influencer who improvises a caption has made a claim on your behalf, and a community manager answering a question at nine at night may be giving advice they are not authorised to give. Training covers the approval, escalation and record-keeping that make speed survivable.

From a scoping call to a team that can do the work
The same shape whichever discipline you book.
The people in the room are the ones doing the work
Our trainers are the specialists who run client campaigns in regulated markets the rest of the week. That is the whole proposition: when somebody asks what happens in an awkward edge case, the answer comes from having been in one rather than from the next slide.
Social Media training, answered
Who is this training for?
In-house marketing teams, and the people around them who need to brief or review the work. We run sessions for complete beginners, for experienced marketers moving into a regulated sector for the first time, and for senior teams who want a second opinion on their approach. The scoping call sets the level.
Is the training specific to regulated industries?
Yes. That is the reason to come to us rather than a general training provider. Every module is taught with the constraints of your market built in, because the tactics that work in an unregulated sector are often the ones that get a regulated brand into trouble.
Where does the training take place?
At your offices, at ours in Dubai, or remotely. Hands-on work needs your team in their own accounts, which works equally well in a room or on a call, though a full day in person tends to hold attention better than a full day on video.
How long is a session?
Most are a single day, or two half-days if taking a whole team off the floor at once is difficult. Shorter formats work for a single module, and longer programmes work when a team is being brought up from a standing start.
How many people can attend?
Up to about twelve. Beyond that the hands-on half stops working, because there is not enough time to get round everyone’s screen. Larger teams are usually better split across two sessions by level.
Do you certify attendees?
No. We are not an accreditation body and a certificate from an agency means very little. What attendees leave with is the deck, their own worked files and a written summary of what we found in their accounts.
What does it cost?
It depends on the format, the number of attendees and how much of the syllabus you need, so the scoping call comes before the quote. We would rather size it honestly than publish a price that turns out to be wrong for your team.
Can you train our team and run our campaigns?
Yes, and a fair number of clients do both. Training a team to brief and review well tends to make the agency relationship better, not redundant. It also works the other way round: some clients train up in order to bring work in-house, and that is a legitimate reason to book.
