What really works in Social Media Marketing? We used to talk about the noise in Social Media and now there is too much noise about the noise - it's noisy up in here!

So, let's cut to the chase.

The panel is only going to discuss news, tools and techniques that work today. You can expect to hear about:

Repinning - how to get it and how to direct it back to you.

Empire Avenue - missions to kill! (the competition)

Twitter - why following back is a good thing to do and how to manage the noise.

Google+ Hangouts - and how they bring value to the community which gives back to you. Now that's the kind of giving back a capitalist can sink their teeth into!
