Virtual Conference: Building Your Consulting Business with Social Media Buzz

August 06, 2009

OCPRSA Senior Roundtable Committee Presents:
Virtual Conference: Building Your Consulting Business with Social Media Buzz

Working as an independent consultant doesn't mean you have to go it alone! With this two-and-a-half-hour virtual conference, social media experts Peter "HARO" Shankman, Kami Watson Huyse, APR and Kelly Crane will share how you can get ahead of the pack by harnessing social media to sell yourself, establish partnerships, seek out clients and gain more visibility for your clients' brands.

Bring your notebook and come prepared to learn:

• How Twitter and other social media platforms are being used to promote consulting services.
• How other independent practitioners use social media to amplify their client offerings.
• The most effective uses and content suggestions.
• How to successfully integrate social media with your business offerings.

Afterwards, put their advice to good use as you mix and mingle: we'll provide the appetizers and no-host bar, you do the networking!
