Let’s talk marketing, and how social media is changing the game. Marketing, b
y Oxford’s definition, is “the action or business of promoting and selling products or services, including market research and advertising.” Marketing is crucial for your business to grow, of course, but let’s think about social media for a moment as well. Social media, also by Oxford’s definition, is “websites and applications that enable users to create and share content or to participate in social networking.”
Just looking at the definitions, marketing and social media should go hand in hand with one another. Social media marketing, by my own personal definition, is “an entrepreneurial approach to putting your brand in front of a wide audience, with an ever increasing ROI.” So let’s talk about the best upcoming conferences you can send your marketing team out to for the rest of 2015, so your marketing team can strengthen your brand’s reach.
