Leveraging Your Social Media Networks

Marketing Seminar

Spread your business message to a wider audience with the tools of Social Media Marketing. Customers are discussing your company, product and service online.  Discover how your business can benefit from online forums, blogs, and other social networking sites.  Attend “Leveraging Your Social Media Networks,” on November 5, 2009 to learn about the significant advantages of Social Media Marketing.

VCU’s Center for Corporate Education, in conjunction with the VCU Department of Marketing and ‘Madison+Main Advertising & New Media’, presents this one-day interactive marketing seminar.  “Social media is now bigger than email. With more than 300 million members, Facebook is the 5th largest country in the world.   Engaging customers and prospects online is too big to be ignored” says Dave Saunders, President of Madison + Main, Advertising and New Media.

Taught by Richmond’s social media marketing experts, this seminar will equip your business to utilize effective online trends in marketing. The speakers include:

• Dave Saunders will discuss social media game-changers and show you how to leverage the 3 biggest players in social media: Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. 
• Butch Sarma, Senior Marketing Director and Brad Nimmons, Director of Research at Media General, will reveal how to develop and implement the newest media strategies.
