We're excited to announce a new format to our monthly SIG meetings! Join us for networking and drinks from 3:00pm-3:30pm. One drink and light snacks are included. Then from 3:30pm-5:00pm, join us for the Presentation and Q&A with this month's speaker.

What Are My Options…NOW?
As social media sites modify their features and layout, it can also impact how they handle brand pages. Twitter and Facebook rolled out design changes in the last few months, and corresponding brand pages are sure to follow. But what about Google Plus? LinkedIn? Should my brand have a Pinterest account? Foursquare? YouTube?

Each platform has its own built in audience which uses it in a specific way, along with its own capabilities and limitations for how you engage with that audience. We’ll walk through a bit of each platform’s features and rules, highlighting what works to help you focus your time on the networks where you see the greatest value.

This seminar will cover:

  • What are the primary options for social pages for your brand
  • Strengths and weaknesses of each platform
  • Paid options (ads)
  • Examples of great brand pages
  • Things to watch out for

Attendees will receive a platform comparison as an added bonus!
