SMC Seattle June Event: Social Media and Security
Thanks to the pervasiveness of social media, interactions between companies and customers are happening in an increasingly public ecosystem. As with every period of change, we need to learn how to effectively leverage the new mediums and tools at our disposal. We also need to learn how to maintain the security and integrity of our brands and companies.
Join us on June 29 as speaker Christopher Burgess offers his preferred practices and cautionary tales from his role as senior security advisor at Cisco.
When done right, says Burgess, social media allows you to engage in dynamic conversations with users, build brand equity, improve your solutions, and drive customers to purchase and adopt. But beware of the dark side, as employee behavior can cast a poor light on your company and put the integrity of your brand’s reputation, network, and IP at risk.
If you are a business owner, marketer, PR consultant, or brand manager, you won’t want to miss this presentation. We are anticipating another sold-out event, so be sure to register soon!
