Social Media Boot Camp

Social Media Boot Camp is an excellent opportunity to kick start your organization’s social networking program.

The onsite workshop is a full day of hands-on introduction, instruction, and how-to guide for front line employees and marketing professionals.

The workshop is designed to teach users social media best practices, short cuts, tools, and techniques for creating an effective social media presence.  The session can accommodate multiple users and can be scaled to maximize your investment.

Do Companies Really Need to Subject Their Employees to a Social Media Boot Camp?

Yes! We’ve all heard horror stories of social media gone wrong. On the internet, what you don’t know can hurt you. Well-intentioned employees can damage your brand, reputation, and relationships if they lack a basic skill-set to manage an online identity.

Social media is a two-way communication that can deliver exceptional results when it’s done right. Businesses can’t just whip up a Facebook page, LinkedIn profile, or Twitter and think they’ll see results. Social media isn’t just about posting status updates and selling. Companies, and their employees, need to listen, engage, and become part of the online conversation. We teach you how to be part of that conversation in a positive and proactive way.

What Can You Expect from Social Media Boot Camp?

Our Social Media Boot Camp will help you use social media in a practical manner that is executable by real-world employees. We’ll ignore all the industry hype and focus on what really matters. By the end of the workshop, your employees will have active social media accounts that are optimized for search and present your organization in a professional, approachable manner.
