Session Description:

The term “social media” has become ubiquitous over the past 5 years, but for many, the term rings hollow and engenders images of just one more business headache facing people today. Social media is changing the web right before our eyes! Social media is evolving how we communicate online and once again changing the balance of power between consumers and the brands that serve them. Join us for an in-depth look at what social media really is, how it can benefit you, and simple strategies from one of the northwest’s leading social media firms, Project Bionic. Co-Founder and CEO Josh Dirks will explain how the recent sea change is actually not really all that novel, the most common misconceptions about social media and simple ways to enhance and empower your social strategies today. Please join us for a discussion we know will help bring both understanding and spark ideas of how social media can work for you!
