You can’t afford to be wrong about social media.

You can’t simply dismiss Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and other popular media as fads, because your peer institutions are all active in those spaces. At the same time, you can’t overestimate their importance, because they’re a complement to your traditional media efforts, not a replacement for them.

So where’s the middle ground? What do you need to know about social media? Which ones do you need to be active in … and which ones (if any) can you safely ignore?

Learn the latest in a new online seminar coming August 11! In How to Add Social Media to Your Marketing Mix, presenter Bob Johnson, Ph.D., will review the state of the art in social media, and show you how leading institutions are using them to enhance their marketing programs.

In this idea-filled, 90-minute presentation, you’ll learn which media are on the rise, which are old news, which have proven themselves and which are duds. Johnson, marketing consultant to dozens of colleges and universities nationwide, will share his considerable expertise as he reviews:

• How to enter social media successfully, without neglecting traditional media.
• What you need to know about implementation and maintenance expenses.
• Why it’s important to restrain your “marketing instincts” in social media.
• Important guidelines for content development.
• Surprising facts about the demographics of social media users.
• The relative merits of FaceBook, YouTube, LinkedIn, Twitter, MySpace and more.
• Whether “old new media” like blogs and e-mail are still viable.
• What results you should expect, and how to measure them.
• And much more.

Listen to a preview

You’ll get an up-to-the-minute look at these fast-developing marketing and communication tools, and how your institution can derive the greatest value from them.

Come with questions, leave with answers!
You can submit questions for Dr. Johnson during this live, interactive seminar, for discussion during a dedicated Q&A session. It’s a great way to sharpen your knowledge of social media issues, get help with challenges you face in your programs, and hear the experiences of other attendees from campuses nationwide.
