  Facebook (vs. 73% of population)

    โ€ข Are you benefiting from EXPANDING your circles
      and getting new perspectives?

Social Media Impacts MANY Parts
of an organization, look to integrate
your plan and start with what works.
Start by knowing what you want to
achieve and build a plan with the
best tools.
Remember These Things....

๏‚ซ Social media isnโ€™t about sharing photos on
  Facebook. It is a new collaboration tool.
๏‚ซ There are significant personal and
  professional benefits to participating.
๏‚ซ Get started with a clear strategic plan
  focusing on what you want to achieve and
  how you can bring it to life with social
  media.
