Beyond branding, social media provides organizations with additional immediate opportunities to enhance their results in many areas of businesses including sales, customer service, public relations, recruitment, and research and development. In this session, I’m going to cover how tools such as Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram are impacting the workplace, marketing and jobs of the future.
Let’s take a look at today’s agenda. We are going to kick off the presentation with a look at the social media landscape, then we are going to dive into a few key pieces that make up a successful social media strategy for our organizations and lastly we will cover 10 trends in social.
With social media, it is important to think strategy first and tools second. You have to understand what it is you want your business to accomplish before you go out and start engaging in different tactics.It’s important for every business to have an overall strategy/plan.
Set Goals: Because your personal brand is built from the thoughts and words and reactions of other people, it’s shaped by how you present yourself publicly. This is something that you have control over. You can decide how you would like people to see you and then work on publicly being that image.
