6:00pm - 9:00pm

 

A Boston Social Media Club Event

 

Sponsoring Host: Cymfony

 

There is a lot of excitement about social media in the business community, but marketing and PR professionals need to know that it's safe and financially smart to take the social media plunge. This panel will lead a discussion on how to address many of the most common business questions and concerns.

 

There are not right or wrong answers to many of these questions, so we are looking to engage the Social Media Club community to share their ideas, experiences and best practices for making a successful social media initiative.
