Rebecca Coleman and Simon Ogden are pleased to present their
immensely popular workshop:

Demystifying Social Media

Welcome To The New Marketing

Tuesday, April 27, 2010
9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.   (Part 1)

Marketing our work has changed. We can no longer rely upon
purchasing advertising or looking for editorial coverage in traditional
forms of media like newspapers, radio, or TV. Using social media to
reach our audiences is becoming more and more important. But when
it comes to reaching your audience through social media, you can’t
use traditional methods of marketing. The game is entirely changed.

This workshop will cover the basics of social media marketing, how it
differs from traditional forms of marketing, how to join a social media
network, and the etiquette of the community.

Tuesday, April 27, 2010
1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.    (Part 2)

Building on the morning’s session, the session will move from theory to practice
and share clear, concrete methods and tips for creating your marketing plan
using Facebook, E-mail newsletters, Twitter, Blogs, YouTube and Flickr.

“High energy, awesome visuals. It was exactly what I needed”
