Roundtable: Becoming the Influential 1% on Social
What does being active on social media mean to you?
Amassing thousands of followers on Twitter? Maximizing connections on LinkedIn? What's your end game?
Ever wonder about how much time you sink into keeping social media going and how much ROI you're getting out of it?
What if there's a way you can control social media instead of it controlling you, such that you gain the coveted status of being in the 'influential 1%' club?
Want to discuss this with a cozy group of fellow aspirants?
In the kick-off session of our new and improved Roundtable series, Richard Bliss, Executive Social Strategy at NetApp, will discuss how being active on social is about becoming influential, with the tools to listen to the conversations going on in the Social world and learning to be a part of that conversation to wield influence and gain insights.
We will explore using Twitter and LinkedIn to build influence and be part of the Social experience. Richard will share his experience and guide the conversation to answer questions about why to use social and how to overcome the barriers that prevent each of us from being successful on these platforms.
BMA Roundtables are a smaller, more interactive venue to explore specific marketing disciplines. We feature leading speakers in a relaxed atmosphere with opportunity for audience participation.
Come join us and Richard for an interactive experience, sharing your experience, challenges and questions.
