Past Presentation
Social Media for Unicorns (and Other In-house Marketers)
Danielle Norris
Marketing Director at Woods and Woods, LLC
In the marketing department at Woods, we often refer to ourselves as unicorns because we work for a business where we're the only ones doing our specific jobs, and what we do on a daily basis is largely not understood聽by anyone we work with. That's because our department is relatively new to the organization. In fact, all of the full-time marketing positions I've held in my career have been new positions--I've been asked to write my聽own job description three times. This is the unique聽position of many in-house marketing professionals working for small organizations. In this talk, I'd like to聽discuss how businesses who聽do their own marketing use social media, as well as the professional opportunities that exist outside of marketing agencies.聽
