Virtual event hosted August, 23, 2023 featuring speakers Posy Lou Henderson and Alicia Underwood.
May 17th, we were lucky to be joined by Mike Allton, Head of Strategic Partnerships at Agorapulse, and Marisa Lather, Director of Marketing & Communications at Bridge Partners, to speak about B2B influencer marketing. Here are the highlights from that discussion.
Working with influencers shouldn’t be a challenge. Learn directly from the experts on both the brand and influencer sides of the table.
April 20th, we were lucky enough to be joined by 3 awesome speakers and 45 attendees at Rooster on Grand to speak about how local businesses use social media to drive in-person sales.
Join us at Rooster on South Grand Wednesday, April 20, 2022, from 10:00 am to 11:30 am to learn how three small businesses have turned social media activity into real-world success.
We'd like to tell you all about Travis Sheridan (@TravisSheridan) who will also be speaking on February 6th at our #STLSocialGood half-day conference. Travis spends his days working with startups as assistance vice president of innovation & entrepreneurship at the St. Louis Economic Development Partnership. He has used social media to foster and deepen his St. Louis relationships & will share his content and engagement strategy, which he called the "Messaging Placement," a simplified tactic to ensure effective outreach with limited time and resources.
"Targeted strategies are still proving to be successful but I am not sure how much more digital "begging" may eventually result in crowdfunding fatigue." - Ed Reggi
We're so excited about our featured speakers, we decided to do a blog post a day featuring a profile of each of them so that you can get to know them before you attend.
Today's speaker profile is Ed Reggi. Ed Reggi (@EdReggi) a social innovator, who has utilized social media as part of StayTunedSTL on the Nine Network, will moderate a panel at our event on the 6th.
One of my favorite social media marketers who writes about (and speaks on) the topic of social media for non-profits is Beth Kanter (@Kanter). Yesterday, Beth published an article called "How Nonprofits Get Significant Value from Content Curation."
Since we are planning a Social Media Conference for Non-Profit Organizations and Professionals on February 6th, 2014, I thought her article was particularly timely, as content curation is often tied in closely with social media marketing.
Beth says it is,
"sifting through information on the web and organizing, filtering and making sense of it and sharing the very best content with your network...Content curation is not about sharing links as you find them. It is finding great stuff amid the noise, annotating it, organizing it, and adding your wisdom or perspective and sharing a collection of curated links in a context or time that adds value."
Beth then provides a lot of frameworks for thinking about content curation and sharing. It's a great post. Read it here, and tell Beth what you think on Twitter at @Kanter.
