Social Media

As you know, social media has become a buzz word and it is almost marketing “speak” as plenty of people talk about it in a way that almost seems to indicate that you should know about it and to explain it is somehow beneath them and everyone knows about social media of course!

In layman’s terms, cutting through as much of the jargon as possible, we will take you on a brief overview of social media, it’s benefits and what to do to start using it for your business.
