Social Media Marketing – Get The Word Out!
By The Office of The Vice President For Research
Event Details: April 12, 2018 || 4:00pm – 5:00pm || Blackstone LaunchPad – Howard Gittis Student Center
At this event, I learned the importance of having a strong presence on social media platforms. Being able to build a professional online presence really helps with connecting with other professionals and potential clients and strengthening your brand. The speaker at the event was Brian Hart, an online columnist for Inc. Magazine and founder of Flackable, a national, full-service public relations and digital marketing agency. He talked about when he first started out and how his online presence on social media platforms, such as LinkedIn and Twitter, gave him opportunities and offers that he would not have gotten otherwise. He started up his own business and used these platforms to interact with other professionals and build up his client base. The most eye-opening advice he gave us is to not wait to grow our online presence and start it now, when we have the opportunity and that will help open more doors.
