You're Invited: Wanna Be A "Social"? Deacon Shows You How

A social marketing whiz, that is. You're invited to Busboys and Poets on January 14th, where you'll enjoy the first ever "Twitch! Public Relations in the Age of Social Media" panel discussion. Numerous journalists, including yours truly, will be on hand to answer questions about the effective use of social media to promote your business.

Deets about the event are below, or feel free to tweet us @deacondoesdc with questions!

More about the event:
If you manage the public's perception of your company or are concerned with increasing your organization's media exposure in 2010, you will want to attend Twitch! Public Relations in the Age of Social Media. If you are like 80% of PR professionals who participated in the VOCUS fall survey on PR planning for 2010, you will be focusing more on social media this year. And if you are working in the nonprofit world, you probably can relate to the 85% of nonprofit executives polled by Weber Shandwick who say social media will be demanding a larger share of nonprofit spending dollars in 2010.
