After the Social Media seminar last week, lots of you have been in touch asking for the presentations from the seminar.
Below you can find Andrew Lloyd Gordon’s presentation on the topic of Social Media Marketing and PR in the Networked Economy. It was the first time that Andrew had spoken at a KMP seminar, and he proved to be very popular. Andrew will also be co-hosting a workshop on the 6th June on the topic of Online PR and Blogging.
Tomorrow a few of the KMP team will be heading down to London as we host a Social Media seminar, which takes place on Wednesday 13th May.
The speakers for this are Dominic Sparkes from Tempero, Steve Richards from Huzu and Andrew Lloyd Gordon from e-consultancy. We previously hosted this seminar in February of this year in Manchester, and it was so popular that we’re taking it to London!
The theme of the seminar is social networks and online communities, and Dominic will open the seminar by presenting “How to manage Online Communities.” Steve will be discussing how organisations can use social networks successfully, and Andrew will round up the seminar by looking at how social media can be used in PR.
There are still tickets available for the seminar. If you would like to attend, please contact zoe@kmp.co.uk .
