Social media marketing
Learn what LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, blogs, Meetup etc. can really do for your business! How to use them for creating visibility for your business and how to mix/fit them together to make a real difference for your business?
Social media marketing is a very powerful strategy and the best low-cost promotional method that will easily give you large numbers of visitors, and make them come back to your website again and again. But how to get it right? How do blogs, tweets, etc. really work? How to construct an internet presence that will bring massive traffic to your site?
I am deligted to announce an awesome list of panellist for this event: Jemima Gibbons, Mark McDermott and Charlie Osmond:
Jemima Gibbons - Jemima is an award-winning business consultant and author of "Monkeys with Typewriters: myths and realities of social media at work" (Triarchy, 2009). Her company, iKnowHow, specialises in creative business strategy.
Jemima lectures in creative entrepreneurship (Kings College, Cass Business School). She is an FRSA and founder member, The Hospital.
Mark McDermott - Mark is the co-founder and Director of Codegent, the award winning digital marketing agency that made X Factor even more interactive.
Codegent’s recent project include Twitbooth, a new photo sharing service that allows users to upload photos from their computer, and Tepilo, a joint property venture with Sarah Beeny. Social media played a critical part in Tepilo’s launch and it continues to help grow the site every day.
Charlie Osmond - Charlie is co-founder and Director of FreshNetworks. Before FreshNetworks, he co-founded FreshMinds Research, a business services firm twice named UK Market Research Agency of the Year, and FreshMinds Talent, a recruitment agency.

PS: Social media marketing is the process that uses social networks, blogs and online communities to boost sales, marketing, customer service, or public relations.

AnikoEvent HostOrganizerGreat audience, great speakers, spot-on questions and most helpful answers! Many thanks to all of you - especially our panel, Mark, Charlie and Jemima - for making it such a brilliant event. -
AnkaThe speakers were quite interesting but their talks much too short! The sitting down in front at the same level as the audience meant most people could not see them talking at all. Once in question time, 90% of the time got devoted on blogs? The speakers seemed to understand most people attending were coming from small businesses with an interest of making social media work for their business but were still most comfortable talking about big brands. Somehow they didn't bridge the gap which failed to make it constructive. How can you apply this knowledge to small businesses is what i was looking for as a starting point.. I expected something a little more imaginative. Small businesses do not have the resources to spend an enormous amount of time & money on social media marketing.

The content was fine but the delivery was a problem. Jemima needs to speak up or use a microphone, but not try doing both at the same time. It was deafening. I had to leave.
