Laura Pulgarin, a graduate assistant of marketing at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi’s Innovation Center, was recently invited to present with Brenda Davis, a New Media Specialist at TAMU-CC, at the Rockport-Fulton Chamber.
The event they spoke at was a part of a Simply Social Session at the Rockport-Fulton Chamber on February 19th, 2015. The topic was called “Let’s Get Social” and focused on how small businesses can use social media platforms to increase engagement and awareness of their brand, organization and/ or business.
Approximately, 15 people attended the session and represented several different industries. The attendees actively participated during the presentation with questions related to social media and expressed interest in learning further about this topic.
At the end of the presentation, Pulgarin and Davis were approached by Diane Probst, CCE Rockport-Fulton Chamber of Commerce, to present again during their social media sessions. Three more sessions are being planned, including: April 16th, 2015 on scheduling tools for social media such as HootSuite, June 18th, 2015 on social media analytics, and a third session on August 20th, 2015.
