Our final training will be "Influencing With Social Influencers," presented by: Michael Kimball, Partner, Consociate Media

It’s true. There are personalities out there on social media that have a more engaged audience and more followers than even your local newspaper. But how can you influence the community with social influencer marketing? What even is social influencer marketing? Do you have social influencers in your community? We’ll go over all this – and feature a local social media influencer – so you can determine how and when to use this tactic for growing awareness about your business. This type of marketing has done wonders with just about every business sector and we want to showcase examples and ways to incorporate it with each attendee.
