The session, featuring Jen Kane, CEO and Founder of Kane Consulting, will provide an overview of social media strategy for B2B companies, including examples of trends, successful campaigns, and tips on how to integrate as part of your overall marketing strategy.
"Many companies jumped into social media in the past few years and quickly realized that simply maintaining a presence does little good when it exists in a vacuum," says Kane. "In this presentation, we'll take a deeper, broader look at how to use social media and discuss how to move beyond the basics to use it more strategically and effectively throughout a business."
The Social Media and Beyond presentation will explore how B2B marketers can expand their social presence, content and integration with other online and offline communications to achieve their business objectives. Using industry case studies, the presentation will provide tips on how to maximize a business' investment of time and resources. And lastly, it will explore where social media is heading in the future, giving insight on the best places for companies to concentrate their efforts.
Sponsored by Minnesota's only professional organization dedicated exclusively to the needs of business-to-business marketing professionals, the cost of the event is $24 for BMA members and $48 for non-members.
