Brock Hart’s Social Media Strategy Tips for B2B

Here at Design Changes, we love to brag about our friends. Well MFX Partners, our partner design agency has some exciting news about implementing a social media strategy that I think our non-for-profit and small business clients can take to “hart”…no really. MFX Partners’ own Creative Director’s, Brock Hart, was recently invited for a guest speaking engagement at Communitech on Social Media Marketing.

In his peer-to-peer talk, Brock spoke about the vital things to think about and the tools to use when developing a social media implementation for B2B, and also examples that have worked for him!

So check out the post, and if you get a chance, I encourage you to attend the next Business Development and Senior Sales peer-to-peer talk at Communitech (scheduled on the first Wednesday of each and every month).
