Social media boot camp announced

You can’t market like you used to. Online platforms from Facebook and Twitter to Instagram, Pinterest and more are capturing the attention of businesses’ customers and clients attention.

The level of a company’s prowess in these areas makes a difference in its bottom line. How can you compete for attention? How do you increase your reach? How can you make time? Join an upcoming four-hour social media bootcamp class for these answers and more. The boot camp will be held Thursday, March 8, from 8 a.m. to noon. at Newport Hospital & Health Services’ Sandifer Room, 714 Pine, Newport.

Featuring speaker Josh Wade of nectarMEDIA, the event is being co-sponsored by the Pend Oreille County EDC, Pend Oreille Business Network and the Greater Newport Area Chamber of Commerce.

Wade built his brand through blogging, social networks, and online marketing.

He now owns four businesses whose sole approach to marketing is building and nurturing his online community. The boot camp is a chance to learn from someone who has been through the trenches, is fighting the battle and can show you the tools and techniques needed to win and build business online.
