From conferences to product launches and everything in between, event planning professionals are finding ways to organize, plan, and promote their events with the help of social media.
There are two tools to promote an event here.
The Facebook Events page allows you to create an event, invite your Facebook friends, and share it on your company's page. Your event can be private, public, just for your friends, or a Facebook Group. Also, if the event is online, you can use F…

I have to be brutally honest – I don’t get the appeal of Snapchat. But then again, I don’t belong in the generations they serve, primarily 18-32-year-olds (Gen Y) and 13-17-year-olds (Gen Z). However, after downloading the app and spending some serious time with it last weekend, I am starting to understand its appeal– especially for those trying to target the before mentioned generations in a new and exciting way.
Let’s take a closer look at what Snapchat offers and how bran…
Social media giants, including Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter, have joined the live streaming bandwagon. Why? Because users are rapidly digesting their content and, more importantly, they want to keep the user on their platform for as long as they possibly can.
Today’s blog will focus on the why, what, and who of live streaming and how meeting planners can integrate these tools into their next event.

Whether you’ve had social media accounts for ten days or ten years, at some point, you should conduct an audit. While this sounds formal and auspicious, it doesn’t have to be so.
Most industry gurus recommend an audit once a quarter. I know that might be a bit much or an expensive proposition for many businesses. However, without a proper review, you can’t complete course corrections on your messaging.
Here are the twelve things we have found useful whe…

In December or January of every year, various organizations and bloggers make statements about what the next year is going to bring. As we are approaching the third quarter of the year, I thought it would be fun to take a look at those forecasts and how they did.
Please feel free to provide us your feedback about ones I missed or if you have a different view of the world. I’d love to hear from you!

In the race to integrate Artificial Intelligence (AI) into every social platform, the intent is for every user to have a personalized experience. It's vital to businesses as they strive to measure the impact social media has on their objectives. These platforms are also using facial recognition to tie everything together.

An influencer is some who promotes a product, service, or campaign. Celebrity spokespeople were the original influencers. Think Matthew McConaughey with Lincoln. In today's digital world, social media influencers are adding value to businesses everywhere. More than two-thirds of North American retailers include influencers in their marketing strategies. Furthermore, nearly half of US and UK digital marketers dedicate 10% of their communications budget to…

Facebook is the top social media marketing platform for small to medium-size businesses, and likely it’s in your current marketing mix.
The question is, “are you using Facebook effectively?”
Effective use of Facebook is made up of many factors, including:

Social media, social monitoring, social listening. Ever feel like digital marketing terms that you hear bandied about, though familiar, are just outside your ability to thoroughly define them, not to mention use them in a useful manner for your business?
While most small to medium-size business owners have a firm grasp on what social media is and at least a vague idea on ways to use it to market their business. Many remain unclear about social monitoring and social lis…

Believe it or not, social media channels are now entering their mature stage. Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter are having decade anniversaries this year.
Every day, my team evaluates social media channels that our clients and prospects have in place. We regularly see either under- or overposting, not writing or sharing content relative to their audience, or varying company tones depending on who is writing the post.
As you enter the half-way mark of 2019, pe…
Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Pinterest. How should your business view these social media platforms? Should they be embraced as critical components in your marketing mix, or dismissed as a distraction from it?
These are common questions from our clients. So, we’ve devoted six blog posts to answer them—each post dedicated to a single platform: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, and YouTube.
Pinterest is our focus today — we’ll consider user and marketing sta…

Is social media part of your company’s marketing mix? Should it be? How should you decide? Such questions are common as many who have yet to embrace social platforms realize they might be short-changing their marketing efforts.
To help answer these questions, we launched a blog series focused on social media platforms and business marketing. While today’s post will look at LinkedIn, other posts in this series cover Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, and Pinterest.
Social media and business – are they a match made in heaven or not worth the effort? While many companies have already recognized the benefits of embracing social platforms in their marketing mix, there remain others that still aren’t so sure.

As a self-proclaimed social media consultant and expert, I am always amazed at the misunderstanding of social media in the C-Suite world. These highly intelligent, and might I add highly paid individuals, seem to be looking at social media through one prism equation:
(Time + Money) x Social Media = Increased Sales
While we all want this equation to work, it is as irrelevant as comparing outdoor advertising to a Pinterest bulletin board. Apples to oranges. Typewriters to tablets. …
