Nick Powills, Chief Brand Strategist at No Limit Agency and Founder 1851 Project shares why Facebook should be part of your social media strategy.

No Limit Agency. A hybrid communications agency that challenges traditional methods with progressive awareness campaigns. Their vision is simply to get people talking, about brands, brands and brands. They start with the brand and branch to the people. They humanize a brand so that it can create engaging interactive content – both in business development and potential client communication. By successfully driving both interactions, they can effectively build awareness. The equation is simple: Great people build great brands. The beauty? Infinity is present in that equation. Once a story gets told, another is born. The communications tree never sleeps.

1851 was created to fill a much-needed hole of content. 1851 was created to bring the franchise world together through an online educational resource where you will find daily content from thought leaders, journalists, and entrepreneurs.

FranTech is not your average conference. It is the annual Marketing and Technology Conference which will be held October 26 -27, 2016 at the AT&T Executive Education and Conference Center, Austin, Texas.
