CONTENT DESCRIPTION
Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube to name but a few, some of which you wouldn’t even recognise… As the age range decreases in the veterinary sector, the number of platforms to which we are signed up increases. Rarely do people not have at least a Facebook and Instagram account nowadays… Social media is now firmly part of our daily lives...
Brand reputation and employer brand are at the top of most companies' minds today, especially as consumerism and competition rise notwithstanding the forever decreasing veterinary manpower available.
What are the motivations behind the use of digital marketing in equine practice and how do we manage to endorse this as busy practitioners ? Are there any best practices, rules or risks we should be taking into account? Should digital marketing be taught at vet school or should we all be employing community managers?

Liz has a degree in Journalism which led to a natural progression to social media, marketing and PR, as the industry changed and social media started to influence the landscape.
In 2011 Liz became a Director at Loch Leven Equine Practice, helping to grow the practice from a two-vet ambulatory practice into a seven-vet referral clinic with operating facilities.
In 2016 Liz took a step back from management in the practice to concentrate on her own business in marketing consultancy, working with equestrian businesses of all sizes and from different sectors of the industry.
Liz has a history steeped in horses and alongside the consultancy business has her own horses, which she competes, and is a qualified equestrian coach – something which she finds adds additional value and expertise to her other professional services.
