Presented by:

Andrew Schiestel

(Senior Partner, tbk Creative)

Andrew Schiestel (a Sr. Partner at tbk Creative) will work with AIC members and deliver a talk on how to use social media marketing strategically to develop a greater client base, enhance repeat business, and gain much more brand exposure.

During the talk, you will learn:

  1. The #1 reason businesses fail with social media and what to do about it
  2. The top 5 reasons you should be blogging and 2 ways to do it successfully
  3. If you should have a personal or corporate Facebook page, and what to do once you set them up
  4. How to generate more earned media for your firm
  5. A step-by-step guide for turning a new business contact into a client using social media

Gerry Macartney, CEO of the London Chamber of Commerce, had this to say after one of Andrew's keynotes: "The presentation to our sold out audience was not only enthusiastically received by attendees, it generated an immediate buzz on Facebook with over 30 attendees chiming in about his address within an hour of his wrap-up."
