RBP Capability Funding: Social Media Strategy
Want to learn how to use social media to grow your business faster?
You may be eligible for funding to upskill in this area through the Regional Business Partner Network.
If you are a NZ registered business with fewer than 50 employees, you may qualify for funding to help pay for your organisation's professional development. This is a fantastic opportunity and Matter Agency is proud to be a registered Regional Business Partner Service Provider for social media capability training.
When you register with the Regional Business Partner (RBP) programme, you gain access to unbiased business support from RBP Network’s Growth Advisors based around Aotearoa. These local experts take a bird’s-eye look at your whole business and, based on your specific needs, connect you with the right resources, people, training and funding to help move your business forward. This may include a referral for a Capability Development voucher that you can spend on upskilling in key areas, such as finance or marketing.
Think this sounds too good to be true? We promise it's not! The RBP Network and Regional Capability Development scheme is one of the ways that the New Zealand Government is investing in supporting growth in the SME sector.

We may be a little biased, but we know the best way to use your funding is to grow your social media, which will then grow your business! According to Business.gov.au, social media can allow you to:
attract customers
get customer feedback
build customer loyalty
increase your market reach, including international markets.
do market research and reduce marketing costs
increase revenue by building customer networks and advertising
The downside of social media is it's time-consuming, and with so many choices in platforms and content types, it's easy to get lost in the world of social and struggle to make the most of this amazing tool.
That's why we encourage all of our clients to build a social media strategy: an action plan that can guide them through the world of social and help them make the best choices for their brand.
Check out our offering below. This is registered with RBP, meaning we can work with you and show you how to create your own custom social media strategy!
