Event Description

Shashi Bellamkonda, Network Solutions’ Social Media Swami, will present this luncheon session on selling social media to your organization. The session will provide you with information on how to convince your boss - and others - that it is in the organization’s best interest to use social media to reach communications and marketing objectives.

“Many questions come up when social media marketing is mentioned, especially when it comes to getting approval and buy in from the rest of the organization - like legal and service,” said Bellamkonda. “At this session we will work to answer some of these questions, including measurable impact and return on investment.”

The session will also provide actionable steps for convincing managers of the value of using social media. It will cover how to become an internal champion, finding creative ways to recruit internal supporters (including lawyers), and ways to gather and present compelling reasons for social media engagement, as well as a social media rollout plan.

Space is limited so register early.
