Social Media Workshops Coming This September

by Brad Kleinman on August 30, 2010

The summer is coming to an end, and we’ve got an exciting Fall ahead of us.

Staying in just a few weeks, the Online Marketing Institute is launching a series of intensive social media workshop, in conjunction with educational partners the Wharton Interactive Media Initiative, Hubspot, SEMPO, CIMA, and many others.

The events are going to be great, with multiple social media experts from around the nation as instructors.  Take a look at this invite from Denver workshop instructor Mike Hanberry

Whether you are relatively new to the world of social media, or you have years of experience under your belt, I am highly confident these workshops will be quite valuable for professionals in all walks of business!

The past several months have been a whirlwind. Getting to travel with the Online Marketing Summit and the 23 city tour was overwhelming, but extremely fun and educational.

In just a few months, I’ve met hundreds of professionals from around the USA including business owners, marketing managers, and educators young and old.

From being a facilitator and educator for the better half of a decade now, I’ve come to realize that teaching about marketing helps you learn more about marketing.

One thing I’ve always known about successful marketing (especially this day and age), is to not just talk about yourself.  We believe in an ’80/20′ relationship in terms of marketing: 80% of the time, share good ‘stuff’ and valuable content…20% of the time you can shamelessly plug.

Because 80% of the content I share is strictly value-based…allow me to shameless plug:

If you haven’t had a chance to check out the Online Marketing Summit, make sure you keep an eye on next year’s tour.  You’ll meet a lot of great people,  you’ll learn, you’ll have ‘aha’ moments that help drive you further, and you’ll have a great time.

Shameless plug complete.
