Here it is, the social media events that started it all
back in Summer 2009. We are bringing you TWO half day sessions this
August from our "Beat to Tweet" series that will rejuvenate, renew, and
reload your social business strategy in 2010. It's like Hot Yoga for
your social media mojo. :)
Our trainer, Lloyd Hannesson, recently returned from the Mashable Media
Summit in New York featuring some of the most notable social media
speakers across North America including CNN, Starbucks, College Humor,
Mashable, The Onion, and actor/activist Edward Norton. For those of you
that have seen Lloyd present in the past, you know that his classes are
always entertaining and easy to follow.
A lot has changed since we offered our Beat to Tweet series last year,
but what hasn't changed, is the need to grow the social media strategy
for your business beyond what you were doing in 2009 for increased
connection to your customers and increased profitability.
Beat 2 Tweet: RENEWED & REJUVENATED, August 10, 2010
Our first in the series is meant as an introduction (or refresher) for
aspiring social media managers to help you learn the terminology and
building blocks of using the two heavy social hitters in your business:
Facebook and Twitter. Note: these sites have changed a lot since last
year (particularly with Facebook Ads). We'll cover some essential tools
available to you online and on your desktop, and share how other
companies are increasing their marketing success by utilizing the social
networking cloud to spread the good word about their business.
This introductory session is ideal for corporations and individuals that
want to hit the ground running once they leave the building. Bring your
laptop, your iPad, or your favourite notebook and be ready to work
through some valuable content. Even veteran 'socialites' will discover
some new tools and be enlightened by the case studies Lloyd will share.

Beat 2 Tweet: RELOADED, August 24, 2010
This is a session for people who are already comfortable with the social
networking basics, but would like to grow their social networking
toolbox. We'll briefly review the significant social networking sites
out there and how they've changed, then dive into some newer power tools
for people wanting to expand their business. We will end with a look at
how businesses are using a variety Social Networking techniques to
generate tangible leads and build powerful relationships with their
customers through regular communication and an extended look at Facebook
Ads.
This session is ideal for those organizations that have attended one of
our prior social media events and are looking at alternative techniques
to leverage your social relationships into lifelong customers and
advocates for your company.

We hosted two introductory sessions last year that sold out in a day and
a half so I encourage you to register
as quickly as possible so you don't miss out. Due to an aggressive
training schedule there is a good chance we will be unable to repeat
these courses this year.
All the best,
Kevin
