APA | SD presents: Social Media Marketing Roundtable | March 20th, 2014

Do you Tweet? FB? Are you LinkedIn?
Does your portfolio say everything you
want it to about you and your work?

Social media can help put a personality to your images, define your work ethic and creative process and give buyers a better idea of who they’re hiring. By building a social media strategy you can connect with creative professionals, media buyers or industry organizations through multiple social media platforms and enhance your personal brand.

Shelly Bowen, founder of Pybop, LLC, will join us for this discussion. Shelly is an award-winning content strategist who focuses on helping brands share their stories more effectively across all platforms, including social media. In the last 5 years alone, she has helped more than 75 brands shine online. Follow Shelly @shelbow.
