Strategic Social Media
Event Info
Description
Social media has now truly entered the mainstream and organisations and businesses are embracing the very real benefits that platforms such as Twitter, YouTube and blogs provide to inform, listen and converse with audiences old and new.
The internet has revolutionised the way we all seek and share information and has acted as a catalyst for wide ranging social interaction and potential communication opportunities with individuals, niche audiences and mass markets. In a few short years we’ve seen the rise of social networking, hugely popular user generated sites and bloggers with the influence to make or break brands and reputations.
