American Express Global Merchant Services wanted to engage with small businesses on their own terms and in their preferred environments in a way that would feel more customized and immediate. Kwittken developed a social media strategy to engage these professionals through a LinkedIn group, Business Knowledge Share (BKS). This community platform offers small business owners access to social media and marketing experts to learn about new ways to improve their business. Partnering with Twitter, FourSquare and Facebook, BKS created a video series Social Media Show + Tell that educates small business owners about using each platform. Additionally, executives at each of these companies served as experts for the group and BKS members had the opportunity to ask personalized questions to each of these professional. KBS+ and Kwittken continue to manage the community and offer expert advice to group members. Following its launch, Business Knowledge Share was the fastest growing business group on LinkedIn with 5,154 members in the first 90 days. The group had the highest engagement numbers of any small business group on LinkedIn.
