Breakfast Seminar

Creating the Blueprint to Bring Social Media into Your Organization, part 5

From January - May, BMA Chicago will lead workshop participants through the maze of planning, executing and measuring social media in the marketing mix for a specific company.  This workshop-style series will answer the hard questions no one has and give participants concrete take-aways.

Final Session of the Series  - Measurement & Social Media
The series culminates with real measurement on the case study companies and how you can measure your own efforts.  Luke Quanstrom, account planner at [wire] stone, will discuss how to define success in social. What's the true ROI both from a financial and non-financial standpoint; and then what are some ways to ensure one is effectively measuring what is truly relevant (does a follower matter, how so, etc).
