The Importance of Online Marketing
Posted on 13. Mar, 2009 by Chi-chi Ekweozor in Events, Social Media Strategies
I had the pleasure of presenting a social media workshop titled ‘The Importance of Online Marketing’ to a group of creatives at Bradford Gallery at the Yorkshire Craft Centre yesterday evening.
Organised by Fabric, the arts development organisation for Bradford as an event for the Creative Bradford programme, it was pretty well attended with at least 30 arts practitioners from artists and animators to photographers attending the 3 hour event. There was even an eco friendly web hosting company!
My slides are now up on Slideshare and are embedded after the jump.
