Social Media: Finding Authenticity: Tuesday, Oct. 8, 5:30-7 pm. Gracious or flip? Funny or refined? Curious or cool? Social media choices can go awry or be wildly effective. Even if you know the why (the strategy) and the what (the content) for your business’ social channels, how do you know the how (the tone)? The most effective social media channels find a following through personality, and that only comes across through voice. Through case studies, exercises, and examples, explore the voices an organization might take on, and how to go about determining the best fit for yours.
