Media International - Talking on: "Creating (and Keeping) a Captive Audience Online". (follow @ChrisGoMedia) “This talk will be centered around different techniques to identify your target market, find them online, engage them and get them interested in interacting with you (or your brand) on a regular basis. I will focus on LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter and Plaxo. Blogging will also be covered and the focus will be how to create a hub for your audience on your blog.” The presentation will commence approx 7.30pm and be followed by Q&A with Chris, General discussion, Networking and of course your choice of Food, Wine and Beer... Our venue is a private lounge bar located 2 mins walk from Charring Cross station; it’s an excellent space for our social networking event with a dedicated presentation area, great food and bar facilities. (take a look at http://www.theodore-b...) I hope you are able to attend, it promises to be another great event on what is proving to be the biggest buzzword across the web, news and media. We have permission for 120 attendees so we would like members to RSVP at http://www.meetup.soc... (can I please ask that those who RSVP Yes who then can’t attend actually change their RSVP to No, as waiting lists members will be allocated spaces and we get a full capacity event, Thankyou) @Twit140k We’re running our fundraiser alongside #SMUK, @Twit140k is a social media grown fundraising campaign for the Children’s Communication Charity ‘I CAN’, whose vision is a world where no child is left out or left behind because of a difficulty speaking or understanding. A world where every child is able to say ‘I can...’ We’d be delighted if people would be happy to make a small donation in exchange for attendance to out events. (as little as 140p is a nice ‘social’ number, of course the more the better!! Checkout http://www.justgiving...)
