Time to re-set! The elections are over ...

Abstract

This practical session will help local government comms teams pause, reset, and re-energise their digital channels at the start of the new triennium. We’ll cover how to stay algorithm-friendly, re-set relationships with elected members and spokespeople, and balance long-term planning and major project comms with everyday content. You’ll leave with clear, practical steps to strengthen trust, sharpen narratives, and build momentum for the term ahead.
