Calgary organizations to share social media experiences
We all know social media has been all the rage the past few years. Heaven knows we’ve all seen our fair share of “social media cheerleading” at conferences and such. You know, where an extroverted speaker gets up on stage, frenetically waves their hands, and proclaims how “social media is changing everything!”
My Quickinars colleague Jeff Nelson and I thought, well, let’s find out if it’s changing everything. Let’s see what social media is doing for organizations in the real world.
That was the genesis of “Social media successes – real world case studies” - a day long seminar being held in Calgary April 24, 2012 featuring real people from real organizations who have successfully used social media to further their communications objectives.
We’re still lining up the guest speakers but we have confirmed:
- Encana – Dean Paddock, Lead, Communications Services
- Inn From The Cold – Yvette Rasmussen, Executive Director
- Calgary Municipal Land Corporation – Clare Nolan, Manager, Marketing Communications
and you can expect more from:
- automotive service
- non-profit
- retail or hospitality
With variety like this you will see how social media is being successfully implemented by organizations large and small, B2C and B2B, for profit and not.
Draw inspiration from your peers and from the solid strategic insights of the Quickinars team, Jeff Nelson, president of Anduro Marketing and Doug Lacombe, president of communicatto inc. These two Internet marketing veterans will guide you through case study after case study that is sure to inspire you and turbo-charge your social media marketing efforts.
A fabulous lunch is included, as are refreshments and snacks throughout the day. Register now as seating is limited. Take advantage of our early bird special and save $100 by registering prior to April 17, 2012.
