About Social Media

Social media is how collaborative communication happens online. You’ve heard the buzzwords: LinkedIn, blogging, social networking, web 2.0, Flickr, YouTube, and so on. Social media’s continually evolving tools — whether video, audio, image, or text-based — are all directed toward online (and offline) sharing, talking, networking, giving and receiving feedback, and community. There is already an online conversation about your brand and industry; adding your voice and leveraging these online media tools can give smart businesses a competitive edge.

What You’ll Learn

In this seminar, Calvert Creative explores social media basics as they apply to business practices, and will give you a solid foundation from which to begin listening to, engaging with, and measuring the online conversation about your company, industry, and clients.

A Flexible Seminar

Our format is open and encouraging of questions and answers. If we are talking about wikis and YouTube’s applications for business, but you want to know about how Jott or Twitter can be leveraged by your company, we’ll do our best to cover it. And don’t worry, we have a follow-up set of seminars for those who want to take their knowledge and understanding to the next level.

Include Your CEO and Co-Workers

Have you already begun to explore social media, yet haven’t been able to convince others in your company about the power of online media? Bring them along to this free social media training event and you may be on your way toward powerful changes that can give your business a competitive edge.

Long View Center and the 1880 Hall

You may have been downtown and wondered about the beautiful church building on the corner of East Hargett and South Person Streets facing Moore Square. An impressive and historic landmark, the Long View Center was once was home to Tabernacle Baptist Church (established in 1870), and is now host to weddings, art shows, concerts, and a variety of other community gatherings.

If you are standing on East Hargett street facing the Long View Center, you’ll see the wrought iron gateway which leads to an entrance under the street to the lovely 1880 Hall. With it’s exposed brick walls and recently refinished hardwood stage, this Hall offers the perfect location for our seminar.

Directions and Parking

Be sure to download one of the clear and helpful downtown maps from the Long View Center site; there are plenty of great parking options within a very short walk. You’ll also see some great lunch spots in the area.
