FACEBOOK & INSTAGRAM

Our social media strategy for our Facebook and Instagram newsfeed is as per the below:

  • V&A Brand Building & Inspiring Content
  • V&A Events & Initiatives (Tourism, CSI and so forth)
  • Topical / Relevant Information e.g. public holidays, celebrations etc
  • All of which is also intended to benefit our tenants

We do sometimes share content on our Facebook & Instagram feeds provided it is high quality, editorial content which we feel is in keeping with our aesthetic and brand online.  Video content gets by far the most reach on our platforms. We do support our social media messaging with paid promotions too, as relevant. We are also open to looking to competitions for greater exposure if this helps you or meets your objectives.
