With no qualifications or knowledge of social media and marketing, I set up my own Facebook page called &quot;Stafford Hub&quot;. The main aim was to keep the community up-to-date with anything to do with Stafford such as events, roadworks and town centre. Since starting, I have gained a following on Facebook of over 6,000 followers.<\/p>\n\n<p>In September I decided that I would change the Facebook name to Visit Stafford, allowing me to reach out to a wider audience. I thought that covering some of the negative news was doing the opposite effect that I wanted, and it was indeed turning people away from Stafford. Along with the new name, I will now be dedicating the page and website to bringing communities together, spreading positive news and raising more awareness around businesses.<\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<h1>What&#39;s next?<\/h1>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>There&#39;s plenty of ideas being thrown around, many of them are currently secret and yet to be officially announced. The aim is to incorporate businesses, communities and the council.
