What is Social Media:
Social media is the method by which collaborative communication happens online. You've heard the buzzwords: LinkedIn, blogging, social networking, web 2.0, Flickr, YouTube, and so on. Social media's continually evolving tools - whether video, audio, image, or text-based- are all directed toward online (and offline) sharing, talking, networking, giving and receiving feedback, and community. There is already an online conversation about your brand and industry; adding your voice and leveraging these online media tools can give smart businesses a competitive edge.

What You'll Learn
In this seminar, Calvert Creative explores social media basics as they apply to business practices and will give you a solid foundation from which to begin listening to, engaging with, and measuring the online conversation about your company, industry, and clients.

Include Your CEO and Co-Workers
Have you already begun to explore social media, yet haven't been able to convince others in your company about the power of online media? Bring them along to this FREE social media training event and you may be on your way toward powerful changes that can give your business a competitive edge.
