Let’s Get Social: Using Social Media to Drive Real Business
A presentation by Jeff Swystun, Chief Communications Officer, DDB Worldwide
Friday, November 25

Room 1020, Kenneth C. Rowe Management Building

Most businesses are excited about social media but few know how to properly use it. Being on Facebook, having an app, and pumping out tweets are no guarantee you are going to create awareness, let alone produce any real sales. This presentation will help define, sort and direct your social media efforts to produce real revenue from “Likes” and “Followers”.
