On Friday, June 18, Karma411 participated in the New Jersey Social Media Conference in Somerset, NJ.
The day opened with a presentation by David Mathison, author of Be The Media, who spoke about his ideas on how to effectively employ social media to market a brand (and be successful at it!). He also did a great job of explaining the social media space and where it is headed.
Up next was the featured speaker of the day, Alan Levy, CEO of Blog Talk Radio. Alan spoke about how he started out with social media by creating a blog without knowing a stitch about it, and how he was able to turn it into an extremely well-known blog radio show. He also made sure to let the audience know that anyone has the capability of creating and producing their own show- just like he did! If you’d like to learn more about starting your own talk radio show online, go to BlogTalkRadio.com.
During lunch Gary Vaynerchuk, author of Crush It, gave a video presentation discussing his thoughts on social media. He shared his views on old media, and how it is not dead, but rather a stepping-off point into new media. He also emphasized the ability of new media to drive down the price of old media; so it might make sense to put up a billboard one week instead of writing a blog.
At the end of the event our very own Jules Strachman had the opportunity to speak on a panel for new social media users. He did an excellent job of presenting and explaining the products Karma411 offers, as well as discussing how the company has implemented social media to expand its networks. If you are not familiar with the social networking tools Karma411 offers nonprofit organizations, contact us to schedule a demo!
A big thank you to Eva Abreu, of NJ Social Media, for running the conference! It was very well put together and a truly educational experience.
