  • Write effective social media policies and best practices for governance
  • Avoid unintentional employment and labor law violations in the use of social media in pre-employment screening

PROFESSIONAL MEMBER-ONLY WEBINAR FEATURING CHRIS HEUER 

As you know, we expanded our membership benefits in June to include a Professional member-only webinar series, which will be hosted by, and attended by, Social Media Club Professional members.  

The Social Media Club community represents all industries and levels of expertise, and our goal for these members-only webinars is to provide excellent content and extend visibility to Professionals in our community that have advanced knowledge to share. 

Join us on Thursday, July 12th at 2pm EST (GMT-4) as we host SMC's Founder, Chris Heuer presenting The Engagement Curve, a research project Chris has been working on for more than a decade. He will be presenting this for the first time publicly to SMC members and discuss the curve in greater detail, but will demonstrate how you can leverage it to gain executive support for shifting from marketing to market engagement, and from selling into markets to building them. More importantly, moving beyond strategy, Chris will introduce you to the Engagement Matrix, a management and diagnostic tool that will help you manage engagement at scale by deploying diplomats at the intersection of the social graph and the interest graph. 

Registration

Professional members will receive an exclusive invite to our upcoming member-only webinar each month. If you're not yet a Professional member but want access to the above webinar, along with other membership benefits - please visit http://socialmediaclub.org/membership to sign up today!
