Social Media Workshop


Social Media Strategy: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
When it comes to social media, many organizations get started by just "doing it" without a clear idea of what they want to achieve. While getting going is important, starting with a clear strategy will improve the value of your execution over time. Both small businesses and large corporations alike often start without a clear strategy in place to drive their results. By having that clear strategy in place, participants will be able to understand clearly how social media can impact their organization and be able to build a plan that drives results.
