You have picked up the lingo “Follow Us on Twitter, Like Us on Facebook” but what does that mean in practice? Social media is intended to be both holistic and strategic. Who your business follows, how you converse, what content you share, all tells a story of who you are as a company. Through a tour of best practices for each profile - Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google+, LinkedIn, Pinterest and YouTube - you leave with a better understanding of the latest trends, etiquette, what it looks like to "do social media right", and why the details matter. This is a beginner, fast-paced class so bring a basic understanding of social media.
