3:00 - 3:30 p.m. BREAK
3:30 - 4:30 p.m. Daily Tips for Growing Community and Clients: An Entrepreneur's Routine with Social Media

Through a few different careers and social tech experiments, one business owner became a social media addict. And in the process, a new affinity for building and engaging communities gave way. In this session, the story of one entrepreneur's social media life (...which one Guardian UK producer called "quirky but cool") sheds light on how digital innovation made an impact on her day-to-day (and what that meant for short and long term relationship management in the social sphere).

What to expect:

  • A three-tier strategy for content creation, listening, and engagement plans

  • Daily/weekly/monthly decisions about creating and sharing content (hint: mobile media and online video changed the game)

  • Key leadership and community choices in (and beyond) digital media

  • Social technology and the impact on natural networks

  • Management of changed goals, changed businesses, and the deluge of social engagemen

  • More!
