It’s been an eventful few weeks here at Social Media Pro!
We are proud to declare we successfully executed our 2nd Social Media Day Summit.
Today’s article will be a quick recap of our speakers, sponsors and highlights of the Social Media Day Summit that took place June 29 – July 3, 2020.
A Bit of Social Media Day Summit History
While we did come up with the name for our summit, we surely did not start Social Media Day! That honor goes to Mashable who on June 30, 2010 declared the first Social Media Day a ‘fait accompli’.
Mashable launched Social Media Day “as a way to recognize and celebrate social media’s impact on global communication. Today, social media is the heart of global communication”.
Each year since then on June 30th, small businesses, social media clubs and social media professionals all around the world celebrate their profession and favorite social media platforms by celebrating Social Media Day.
Social Media Day Summit: Take Two!
Last week, our team at Social Media Pro launched the second Social Media Day Summit to celebrate all who work in social media marketing.
We offered learning opportunities for small business owners and social media managers, and for anyone interested in becoming a social media manager.
This year, our sessions focused on providing access to high quality speakers who work in the online space, thought leaders who were willing to lift the curtain and show our attendees a peek behind the curtain!
Sessions on content strategy and content creation tips, personal brand strategy, social media strategy, pricing and packages, video creation, and Facebook advertising tips as well as sessions dedicated to social platforms like YouTube, Pinterest, Instagram and Facebook!
