In late November we will be holding an intensive two-day workshop on social media. Whether you are just starting out or looking to improve your social media efforts we are confident you will walk away with more ideas and info than you will be able to fully use. Within that information though we know you will find what you need to make the most of your efforts.

GEARED TOWARDS
These sessions are general in nature in that they are not focused on one industry or size of organization. The sessions are suitable for those just starting or even exploring the opportunities for social media, to these with established efforts looking to improve upon their results to date.

Content is delivered in a manner that employees or business owners, managers or artists should find the information useful and more importantly actionable.

Included follow-up sessions are there to allow attendees to gather additional information on areas of specific interest e.g. a corporate manger needing more info on analytics than was addressed in the sessions.

Case studies used in the sessions come from musicians, international companies you will know by name and small businesses from various regions you will be unfamiliar with. Creative examples from non-profits and government are included as well.

In short, if you have goals that you think social media can help you achieve, this session can help you do so. [Though we are glad to develop custom sessions for your company/industry. just get in touch].

DAY ONE: WHY WHAT WHO
Day one focuses on goals, strategy and "finding the others".
a)Intro

f)Content creation and curation You learn: tips for creating tweets, blog posts, videos; how to find sources for new ideas and manage it all
g)Who are we trying to reach? Who do we need? Who is going to do all this? You learn: social media is about being social; hiring/management/policy tips for social media staff; convincing staff (frontline or higher-ups) on benefits of social media; how to identify your users and find out what forms of social media they are engaged in.

The top 10 most frequently asked questions about social media will be answered during Day One.

Ideally you walk away after Day One able to:
develop your own strategy we cover this during the day and provide you with worksheets
audit your practices against the best in your industry and across industries
measure your progress/ROI and adapt accordingly

DAY TWO: HOW WHEN WHERE
This day is focused on actual social networks, related services and tools you will use to implement your strategy. It is not geared towards showing you how to set up profiles on sites discussed though info and links are included in our materials explaining how to do so.

PRESENTER: ROB MACARTHUR
Rob started his first business 7 years ago. Shortly thereafter he started his first blog also called a quiet revolution and quickly learned the benefits of sharing ideas on issues he was passionate about. The blog initially was used to promote local music while also exploring the disruption the music industry was facing thanks to P2P networks and file sharing.

That blog connected him to people and opportunities at Wired.com exploring citizen jourlism, brought him industry contacts from the U.S. and U.K. to his inbox and played a significant role in launching future ventures AQR being the latest.

After blogs, his next favourite social media tool quickly became Twitter. After an initial failed period of using it, with some clear purposes for the service in mind it quickly became his go to network.

Having worked with bands for the past 6+ years developing social media strategies, in addition to his own ventures and consulting with others on the side, he decided his internet addiction could be put to good use when exploring options for his next venture.

Thus, welcome to a quiet revolution.
