BlogWell is the only conference where social media executives from large companies come together to share their case studies, offer practical how-to advice, and answer your questions. To learn more about BlogWell, visit the event site: http://gaspedal.com/blogwell/ In her BlogWell Chicago presentation, “Getting Started in Social Media Without Freaking Out Legal, Leadership, or Liability Teams in Your Organization” Senior Marketing Manager, Lizzie Schreier discussed how the Allstate corporation, the nation’s largest publicly-held personal lines insurer, is able to push from its leadership dependency on its 18,000 agents to advancing in the social media world. As a Fortune 100 Company who sells 13 major lines of insurance, Schreier says it’s all about education and sales and working furiously within the organization. In this presentation, learn how to position with legal teams, how to educate and sell leadership, and how to position the benefits of social media to folks who may not clearly understand it. Measuring ROI, managing teams, legal issues, B-to-B, working with agencies and creating great content are central themes at BlogWell. This is the best opportunity available for anyone looking to get started or improve their corporate social media efforts. learn more at http://gaspedal.com/blogwell
