I focus primarily on Twitter, Facebook, electronic newsletters and blogs, but will incorporate other social media platforms as needed by the client. I will work collaboratively with your team to develop social media goals, strategies and tactics. If you’re new to social media, I can train your team to effectively engage with your community. Additionally, I can consult on specific social media projects or, if you prefer, I can manage your social media strategy on a contract basis. We can also work together to tie in your print publications with your social media platforms.[/tw_service_item][/tw_service]
