Marketing Through Social Media Session #smcamp #iwny

It seems obvious now that Social Media is more then marketing, but marketing has been the tip of the spear that has made it relevant to most organizations, and is indeed a key part of the growth Social Media has experienced (not taking anything away from the grass roots, personal nature of its original usage).  This session we will look at the broad concept of what is marketing, how we build relationships with the market, the importance of trust in marketing/branding and how companies are using social media to market their businesses products and services. This includes discussions on the importance of media/content, avenues for generating awareness, garnering word of mouth, and how to build your business using the cost efficient tools of social media.

In this session, we will start with the second half of the presentation from the morning’s session on What is Social Media and move into more specifics.

All of these sessions will be organized using currently available materials that are online, so we encourage you to add any important comments below in addition to any links to other resources you think will help people understand this topic. This session will take place at 300pm on Thursday June 4, 2009.

Using Social Media for Job Searches Session #smcamp #iwny

We all know that unemployment, particularly in the U.S., is up.  We also know that Social Media is becoming an increasingly more important part of the hiring process, with employers using reputation searches through social sites as the basis for their hiring (and even firing) decisions.  This is the important of the personal branding we discuss earlier in the day.  During this session, we will discuss the most important aspect of how we represent ourselves for job searches, how employers are using the tools to review candidates and how you can make yourself stand out from the crowd and find the job of your dreams.

Social Media Tools, Services and Networks Session #SMCAMP #IWNY

In this session we will delve into the various types of software and services that are powering Social Media.  There are many different ways to think of Social Media, and most people think of it in its simplest terms, or rather the one’s that they are most familiar with.  But there is a wide variety of contexts in which we engage and relate with one another, both as individual’s and businesses.  Some of the areas we will demonstrate and discuss include:

Creating a Digital Identity Session #IWNY #SMCAMP

As social beings, we all have our personas, our reputations, our relationships and so much more that goes into creating are overall identity.  In order to be engaged in Social Media, it is important for us to properly craft a digital identity that figuratively and literally ‘puts our best foot forward’.  In this session we will discuss the brand called you, creating a ‘homebase’ for your content, the power of participation and much more.

Social Media Camp #InternetWeek is Sold Out

Wow!

We are really excited about this coming Thursday June 4, 2009 at the Roger Smith Hotel.  Especially now that we have reached our capacity.  Yesterday I had thought we could oversell a bit expecting some no-shows, but in talking with a few people, it doesn’t seem like that is going to be the case. So 120 good people will be coming together in less then 36 hours to share what they know, to help each other and to make a difference in their own way.

Tomorrow morning, we will be putting up a couple of posts on the Social Media 101 sessions we are offering, to get some more support and resources.  Each session will have its own post on this Web site, so we can capture and share what we learn with others beyond the walls of the hotel.
